Waterproofing a Duxbury, MA Basment Before It's Finished
Challenge
This new homeowner in Duxbury, MA gave us a call because they were dealing with some water issues in the basement of their new home. The existing sump pump had failed a few times since they moved in and the last time resulted in about a foot of water on the basement floor. They knew they wanted to have the basement finished eventually so they wanted to make sure it was completely waterproofed before doing so. Our inspector, Steve, went to the home to assess the basement's water issues and drew up a plan that would waterproof it as well as start the basement finishing process!
Solution
Our foreman, Carlos, and his crew got to work on installation day! They started by removing the existing sump pump and replaced it with our TripleSafe sump pump, which is an extremely reliable system. The TripleSafe takes all of the groundwater it collects and sends it out of the home through two discharge lines. To start the basement finishing project, the crew installed our Elite Plank Flooring throughout the basement. Elite Plank Flooring is made from material that is not susceptible to water or mold damage. The material is also insulated, meaning it creates a thermal break so it won't feel so cold during the winter months. The homeowner is so happy that they chose to reach out to us because they can be confident that their basement will be staying dry and they've already kickstarted the finished basement project for their new home!
