Shifting Foundation
The first sign of damage in the foundation was the shifting of the bricks and cracking on the exterior. These damages forced the homeowner to reach out to Woods Basement Systems to find a waterproofing solution.
WaterGuard Drainage System
For the ultimate waterproofing repair, a WaterGuard drainage system would be installed in the footing of the basement walls to collect the water leaks and direct the water towards the home's sump pump.
Measuring
Team Woods measured the basement from the yard to install a LawnScape outlet that will connect to the discharge line. This new system will help direct water into the yard and away from the basement.
Unprotected Space
The crawl space previously had no means of protection against water leaks. Without protection, this crawl space was susceptible to harmful water damage.
Water Leaking In
Water leaks had previously leaked into the crawl space where the walls met the floor. These leaks left the walls water stained and water damaged.
Leaking Vent
Team Woods noticed that another area of concern was around the crawl space vent. This vent allowed water leaks inside through the gaps in the vent's sealing.
Solution
For the ultimate waterproofing repair, a CleanSpace vapor barrier would be installed onto the floor and walls to completely protect the space from water leaks. This vapor barrier system is made out of inorganic materials that won't develop mold or mildew.
