Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Woodbridge Basement Waterproofing solution
Challenge
This Woodbridge VA basement had an existing sump pump that was installed by another company with the hopes of managing some unwanted water in the basement. It was in place for years and while it did pump out water that was able to get to it in the occurrence of basement flooding, there was still more water making its way into the basement that needed to be managed. Our Sales Pro Carl Depner visit the home to do an inspection and identified a solution to better solve the water problems.
Solution
Our production team installed WaterGuard BELOW the existing cement basement flooring to channel the unwelcomed water over to the newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard operates as a channel for collected water to flow through where it can be safely fed into the sump pump to be discharged out of the home. CleanSpace wall covering was put in place to control any water and humidity coming through the walls of the basement and lead it down to the WaterGuard below. The end goal was not to eliminate the water coming into the basement but to control it. In most cases, if you try to stop water from coming into a basement or crawl space, it will simply find another way in as water finds the path of least resistance.
