Moisture From Walls In Northampton, MA
Challenge
A homeowner in Northampton, MA was very worried about the state of his basement. If you took a look at his basement, there were several puddles of standing water, but there was also an overwhelming feeling of moisture in the air as well. This moisture could lead to mold growing onto the wooden building material, There was no sump pump system at all, which means there was no way for water to be discharged. If this homeowner didn't act quickly, there could be costly damages heading his way. So he contacted us for assistance on this matter.
Solution
We sent a licensed inspector to the scene, and he gave a full evaluation of the issue. After discussing solutions with the homeowner, a production crew came to install a WaterGuard interior drainage system, CleanSpace wall vapor barrier and a TripleSafe sump pump. This WaterGuard system does an excellent job capturing the wall seepage coming from the cracked basement walls, and is the perfect system because it won't clog at all! That water then gets drained to the TripleSafe sump pump to be completely discharged! This sump pump will provide this homeowner with three layers of protection, a primary pump, a secondary pump and a built-in backup battery system incase there's a power outage! The CleanSpace wall vapor barrier protects the basement from moisture coming in which minimizes mold growth!
