Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: A Wet Basement in Evansville, IN
During the fall time, a homeowner in Evansville, IN, noticed a bit of water entering the basement but recently, there has been a great increase in water that has made its way inside due to a large quantity of rainfall. Water can damage the interior of the basement and can create Efflorescence to show on the walls. It is essential to prevent water from leaking into a basement to protect the home from major issues down the road.
To keep the water away and dry air in, the walls are covered using CleanSpace. A basement needs a bigger sump pump system unlike a crawl space, so a TripleSafe Sump Pump is installed. A small trench is dug beside the walls and a water guard is put in to direct water flow to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. A SaniDry Sedona is plugged in to keep a continuous dry air flow. Having tools that work effectively as a system will create a tranquil mindset.
