In Evansville, IN, a homeowner was concerned when water started to slowly flood their basement. There was a home settlement issue due to backfill. Backfill is loose soil that is used to fill the hold around the home's foundation after construction is completed. Dirt should be added so that water does not flow towards the foundation. Although wet weather floods the basement, so does dry weather. In periods of drought, the soil shrinks away from the foundation, leaving voids for the next rain to easily flow down into your basement.
The basement was protected from water by creating an effective system to keep water out, such as the WaterGuard system. The WaterGuard system directs water to the TripleSafe Sump pump, where the sump pump will pump water out of the house continuously. CleanSpace is placed on the walls to protect against water vapor. Since ClanSpace is placed against the walls, water can trickle down towards the WaterGuard without it leaking onto the floor of the basement. A system with great products such as these will prevent basement flooding from happening again.
