Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Basement Waterproofing in South Portsmouth, KY

A drenched basement in South Portsmouth, KY was growing mold and needed a solution. Water and moisture in a basement can lead to mildew, rot, and health issues like asthma, aggravated allergies, and other health concerns. Our team intervened and added a sump pump and WaterGuard system to pump out water and move it away from the foundation. WaterGuard captures any water before it reaches the basement. We then installed CleanSpace Wall System, a vapor barrier encapsulation for basements, to seal out water and moisture. All of these elements combined keep the homeowner's basement dry for many years and protect its value.

Moldy Concrete Basement Floor

The water problem in this basement had become so severe that mold was growing on the concrete floor. Mold is a health hazard that should be handled carefully by professionals since it can cause health problems like asthma and allergies.

Original Sump Pump System

The original pedestal-style sump pump was no longer effective. An open basin can leave a basement vulnerable to moisture intrusion and amplify issues like mold, mildew, and rot. The concrete basin is also undersized, which limits the pump's capacity to manage water during rainy weather or flooding incidents.

Powerful Sump Pump with Alarm

Our crew replaced the pedestal pump with a new TripleSafe sump pump system. This system has a completely airtight lid to keep out moisture, reduce noise, and allow for easy inspection. It's battery-powered, so it's pumping water even during power outages.

Invisible WaterGuard Around Basement Perimeter

The WaterGuard basement waterproofing system was installed to allow a direct flow of water seepage through a drainage pipe to the sump pump without the risk of clogging. All of this happens before water reaches your basement floor.

CleanSpace Basement Wall Encapsulation

We installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier wall encapsulation to protect the basement from water seepage and moisture. CleanSpace is super durable, 20mil thick, and made of polyethylene plastic. This means it doesn't grow mold.
