Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Cracked and Leaking Foundation Repaired in Manchester, MO Basement
A basement foundation was cracking in Manchester, MO, and water was leaking out of the cracks. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. Next, the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This bright, clean, and durable wall system will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. The patented design of this system automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the discharge lines to a special extension sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!
Wall Issues
Water has been leaking from the cracks in this foundation.
Wall Repaired
PowerBrace will stabilize the wall, and BrightWall will drain the wall seepage down to WaterGuard, which will carry this water to the sump pump.
Sump Pump
The TripleSafe can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it.
Discharge Lines
IceGuard will allow water to escape if the pipes become frozen or blocked for any reason.
