Sagging Damp Basement In Warren, RI
Challenge
A homeowner in Warren, RI started to see several issues with his basement. There were signs of water creeping in, causing puddles to appear. He also did not have any kind of sump pump, so there was no way to get rid of the unwanted water. To add onto the matter, part of the basement ceiling was sagging down, due to some structural damage. This homeowner lives in an area where it rains a lot, so the chances of water seepage and mold growing onto building material are likely. The homeowner understands that the possibility of the expensive damages that could happen, so he wanted to do something about it. So he contacted DryZone Basement Systems!
Solution
We sent an inspector to the homeowner to see what could be done. The inspector had a crew install SmartJacks, a TripleSafe sump pump and a WaterGuard interior drainage system. The SmartJacks do a great job at providing a steel pier support structure to keep the sagging floor more leveled. This really helps the homeowners basement structure. Our WaterGuard system provides a non-clogging drainage system inside the perimeter of the basement. This will capture wall seepage, then drain it to the TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump is perfect for his basement because it will provide the best discharging system during heavy rainfalls and power outages due to its built-in backup battery. Now, this homeowner can live with a peace of mind with his full waterproofing basement system!
