Wet, Moldy Drywall
Conventional drywall, as seen in this picture, is made with gypsum and an organic paper facing, both of which can be severely weakened and damaged by water and moisture in a wet basement environment. Because it's made of organic materials, this drywall will support the growth of mold.
Basement Mold
Mold thrives in conditions where there are high levels of humidity and moisture. Mold is connected to allergies, asthma, and other breathing issues. However, when humidity levels drop below 60% it will not be able to thrive, which is why waterproofing the basement is so important.
WaterGuard Installation
Our WaterGuard drainage system in being installed in this picture. It rests on a bed of drainage stone instead of the dirt, to keep it from clogging. The unique shape and large drain openings of WaterGuard also aid in prevent clogs in the system.
WaterGuard Fully Installed
The WaterGuard perimeter drain is fully installed in this picture. Once the cement above it dries, it will catch water and redirect it to the sump pump. This waterproofing product will keep the basement dry for years to come!
SuperSump
The SuperSump that we installed in this home includes a powerful Zoeller â…“ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,500 gallons of water per hour out of the basement. It will hold up, even in torrential rainstorms!
IceGuard
Many sump pump discharge lines are susceptible to freezing during the cold winter month. Our IceGuard® discharge line protection prevents this from happening!! This specifically designed grated adapter is located outside where the discharge line exits the house. If the pipe underground freezes in the winter, water can still be pumped out without the worry of backups into your basement!
LawnScape Outlet
The LawnScape Outlet is a pipe buried from the drainage line to a special outlet that lets the water out onto the surface, while its grated cover keeps out leaves that might clog the drain. The lid comes off for easy cleaning, minimizing maintenance for your home.
