Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Leaky Basement Waterproofing in Parkersburg, WV

This Parkersburg, WV, home was experiencing water intrusion in the basement, and we needed to prevent it from happening again! Our top-notch crew waterproofed the basement with a durable vapor barrier and improved drainage, avoiding standing water, moisture, and humidity that basements often have. In the end, the homeowner felt happy to know their new waterproofed basement was dry year-round.

The Before: Wet Basement Floor

Basement water intrusion can lead to a series of problems: mold and mildew, bad smells, health problems as air circulates through the home, and even wood rot in the floor joists and support beams, which can cause structural problems.

The Beginnings of Mold Growth

Mold had begun growing on the floors due to the recurrence of water intrusion, so we presented the vapor barrier solution to not only seal out moisture and humidity, but also prevent mold growth in the future.

Vapor Barrier and Sub-Floor Drainage System

We installed a WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter of the basement that captures any water seepage and keeps it flowing to the sump pump. The CleanSpace vapor barrier liner prevents moisture, outside air, and pests from getting into the basement.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

This three-pump sump is like magic with its three pumps instead of just one. If one pump can't keep up or stops working, the others kick in, reducing the chance of failure or flooding!

High-Performance Dehumidifier

One of the last and vital steps to a dry basement is extracting moisture from the air. The SaniDry Sedona eliminates that basement mugginess while helping to circulate clean, healthy air around the home.
