Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Stabilizing and Waterproofing a Basement Wall in Fenton, MO
A basement wall showed signs of failure in Fenton, MO, as cracks and water leakage appeared. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed. These I-beams work by stabilizing the walls in the basement by custom fitting to the wall. They are tightened to the wall through anchors on the basement floor and floor joists. This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and straightens the wall over time. It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the sump pump system to then be pumped out of the house. thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable, dry, and clean for years to come!
