Basement with Drywall in Amston, CT
Drywall does not do well in basements as it absorbs moisture from the air and provides mold an organic substance to grow on. We repaired the drywall of the Amston, CT home with our EverLast Finished Wall Restoration System. It replaces the bottom 32 inches of drywall and is made completely from inorganic material that will not permit mold growth. It's supported with metal studs, and the durable panels will not be damaged by water, even if the basement floods.
Peeling Drywall in Amston, CT
The drywall of the Amston, CT basement was peeling near the floor. The new EverLast Finished Wall Panels we installed will never peel or chip like the paint of drywall. The panels are also backed with a vapor barrier that directs moisture into the perimeter drainage system and out of the house. This keeps the basement dry and prevents flooding.
Outer Door in Amston, CT
The basement of this Amston, CT home has a door leading outside that was allowing water to enter the area. To prevent this from happening, we installed a trench drain at the entrance to the basement. It is connected to the WaterGuard sub-floor perimeter drainage system, so the open grate collects water and the drainage system guides it out of the basement. This prevents flooding and keeps the basement dry for the homeowners to enjoy.
Pre-existing Sump Pump in Amston, CT
The Amston, CT home already had a sump pump to remove water from the basement. We connected this into the WaterGuard sub-floor perimeter drainage system so that more water would be pumped out of the basement. We also supplemented the power of this sump pump with our UltraSump® Battery Backup System. This second sump pump will be used to keep the basement dry in case of power outages or a pump failure with the first pump. It can remove up to 11,500 gallons of water on a fully charged battery, keeping the basement dry.
