Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Greenville, SC Gets CleanSpace & SuperSump Pump Installed

This homeowner in Greenville, SC thought that water was coming up from under the house and into the basement. Our Design Specialist, however, discovered the source of the water was not only coming from up under the house, but moisture was also creeping in through the walls. To solve this issue, our company went ahead and installed a SuperSump Pump, to take care of the water coming from beneath the basement. It comes with a WaterWatch Alarm to alert the home owners if the water levels reach above the point where it is supposed to turn on. And this duo comes with the Airtight Lid, which keeps the water it captures from evaporating into the basement. This lid also acts as a barrier to prevent objects and debris from falling into the pump. Bugs, odors, and radon gas are no exceptions. This lid was designed to keep those out too. We also secured CleanSpace Wall, a thick plastic liner reinforced with polyester cords, along the space to prevent any more moisture from creeping into the space through the walls. Altogether, this project took only a few days to install and came out looking like a million bucks.

Initial Inspection

The walls of the basement had white residue scattered all along its surface. This residue is called efflorescence. It's dried water. This is evidence that the space is indeed experiencing moisture issues.

Discolored Walls and Flooring

In this photo, we have more of those water issues. The discolored surface along the walls and floors are remnants of flooding and water seeping in through the walls.

Water Damage After a Flood

This photo shows the aftermath of major flooding in the home. Water had completely covered the basement and once it dried, it left this unsightly water damage on the cement.

CleanSpace Wall

This is a photo of the basement transformed. As pictured here, the CleanSpace doesn't require much wiggle room nor is it unsightly. It's aesthetic is pretty pleasing to the eye and adds color to the otherwise dark wall. This CleanSpace is also tightly sealed against the surface of the wall using a variety of methods.

CleanSpace Wall Installed Along Wood and Brick

As pictured here, the CleanSpace Wall can be installed along most surfaces and its light coloring usually brightens up most crawlspaces.

This is another area of the basement where we've installed more of the CleanSpace Wall.

Final Install

Here we have the finished product. We have our CleanSpace Wall installed and sealed against the wall. There's also the SuperSump Pump installed into the floor along with that handy WaterWatch Alarm system.
