Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Basement Solutions in Sterling, MA
This homeowner in Sterling, MA gave us a call because they were dealing with a wet basement and needed it waterproofed before finishing the space and using it as a living area. Our inspector, Andy, went out to the home to assess the basement and he drew up a solution that would keep it dry, allowing the homeowner to have it finished with confidence. On installation day, our foreman, Melvin, and his crew installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier seamlessly along each wall to corral seepage into our WaterGuard drainage system which was installed along the floor's entire perimeter to collect groundwater. Our TrenchDrain grated basement drain was installed in front of the bulkhead stairway to catch surface water, it's connected to the WaterGuard drainage system. The crew also set up our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier in the basement to control humidity year-round. All of the water collected in the drainage system and dehumidifier is directed into the TripleSafe sump pump which sends it out of the basement through two discharge lines. On the home's exterior, our IceGuard discharge line system was set up to prevent flooding if a discharge line ever clogs or freezes. Now the homeowner can have their basement finished and never have to worry about water getting into it!
