Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Basement Waterproofing in Charleston, WV

A homeowner in Charleston, WV, had a basement flooding incident and had water remediation completed. Fortunately, they knew that to protect their home against future incidents, they needed to waterproof the basement. The Alford Foundation & Crawl Space Repair team completed a basement waterproofing project by installing proper drainage to allow water to exit the house and a powerful, more reliable sump pump that would continue operating even if one pump failed. The home and basement were now set for the future, providing the homeowner a feeling of relief knowing they were protected in the case of a floor or leaking incident.

Basement Post-Water Remediation

Upon inspection, the basement had undergone water remediation, but was in dire need of waterproofing. The homeowner wanted to keep things as intact as possible, including the drywall.

Original Sump and Water Damage Residue

The homeowner had this sump system installed, but it wasn't doing its job. Also, open sump holes lead to moisture in the basement, spreading mold and attracting pests and animals.

WaterGuard Installation

Our crew installed WaterGuard along the interior perimeter of the basement. This was essential to the waterproofing since it's designed not to clog, doesn't cause structural damage to the foundation, and has a large drain outlet to the new sump pump.

Completed Waterproofing

Once done, the new sub-floor drainage isn't even noticeable. This is an efficient, long-lasting basement waterproofing system.

New TripleSafe Sump Pump System

We installed a brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump, which consists of three pumps. The primary pump handles up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour on its own, pump two kicks in if pump one fails or if greater volume is needed, and pump three is battery-operated in the case of a power outage.
