Photo Album: Wet Basement Waterproofing in Frametown, WV

A homeowner in Frametown, WV, was finding standing water in the basement after each rain event and foundation cracks. To protect the home and prevent the problem from worsening, the homeowner reached out to Alford Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for basement waterproofing and to inquire about drainage. Our crew installed CleanSpace to protect the basement from moisture and humidity, a new drainage system, an improved sump pump, and push piers to lift and stabilize the foundation. Now this Frametown homeowner can rest easy knowing their home is safe and dry, even after it storms!

Stair-Step Cracks and Foundation Settlement

When we inspected the Frametown home, we could see the stair-step cracks, which are clear signs of a moisture problem. Moisture seeps in from the outside through the cracks and gets into the basement and can cause significant damage over time.

CleanSpace and Push Piers Installation

Our crew installed CleanSpace, a thick poly liner that protects the basement floor from water seepage. We also installed Push Piers, galvanized steel piers that are hydraulically inserted into competent soil to transfer the weight of the structure, helping to stabilize the foundation and, in many cases, lift it back into place.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

We placed a TripleSafe Sump Pump to keep the basement dry with the protection of three pumps. This pump can handle very high water demands and backup pumps in case of failure or a power outage.

SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier

A new SaniDry Sedona removes 2.9 liters per kilowatt hour of water from the air and requires no manual tray emptying. This is continuous dry, healthy air that's circulated through the air.

Discharge with IceGuard and LawnScape

As water flows from the sump pump outside, it reaches a newly placed LawnScape system, designed to prevent clogging of leaves and other debris. We also added an IceGuard system to protect the basement from flooding during the winter in the case the discharge lines freeze.
