Basement Waterproofing in Newport, RI
Challenge
In Newport, RI, this basement was getting water despite having a sump pump. The homeowners realized that they needed more work if they really wanted a dry basement. They decided to shop around to find the right company and one of the businesses they reached out to was DryZone! Our inspector visited the home and proposed work to waterproof the whole space, not just one corner like the previous setup. They liked the plan so much, they decided to move forward right away!
Solution
On the day of the install, our crew got to work exposing the footing so our WaterGuard piping could go in and catch water seeping in from the foundation. They also fastened CleanSpace Wall around the basement to help keep condensation and moisture contained behind the vapor barrier and directed into the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is connected to the TripleSafe sump pump that will then remove the collected water from the basement.
The windows to the basement had old window wells that collected water and then caused the windows to leak. The crew upgraded them to our SunHouse window wells, which allow more natural light into the basement and help protect from debris and rain. On the interior, WellDucts were installed at the base of the window to the WaterGuard system below to protect the basement from window leaks, keeping all walls and corners of the basement dry!
