Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Basement Repair in Summersville, WV

A Summersville, WV, homeowner was in desperate need of basement waterproofing and foundation repair once they discovered water intrusion and concerning wall cracks. The Alford crew installed a vapor barrier wall system to protect against moisture and several foundation wall support systems to lift, level, and stabilize the foundation wall permanently. The homeowner can relax knowing their basement is safe and dry for the future!

Water Intrusion Entry Point

One entry point for intruding water was the basement door. Since it led outside, water was coming right inside and sitting without anywhere to go. We needed to redirect that water somewhere else. We installed a TrenchDrain by the basement door.

Concrete Block Water Seepage

Water in a basement leads to moisture. Moisture leads to all sorts of problems, like mold, rot, health problems, and can even contribute to structural damage, as we saw at this home.

Basement Wall Cracks

Upon inspection, the basement wall was in poor condition with significant horizontal cracking and water seepage. It was evident we needed to secure this foundation wall before it shifted any further.

CleanSpace Wall System with Helical Piers

We installed the CleanSpace Wall System to protect the basement from moisture intrusion. The helical piers work to permanently stabilize the home's foundation walls and can sometimes even lift the foundation back into place.

PowerBrace Installation

Our crew installed PowerBrace over CleanSpace to permanently stabilize the walls. These are unique because they can be tightened seasonally, allowing the braces to straighten the walls over time.
