Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Leaky Foundation Wall Repair in Bow, NH

For a homeowner from Bow, NH, a dream of transforming their basement into a finished space felt distant due to water leaking through the brick foundation and efflorescence on the walls. As seen in our photo gallery, we tackled the challenge head-on. By installing CleanSpace to keep the space dry, WaterGuard for efficient drainage, a TripleSafe Sump Pump to handle high water volume, and IceGuard to prevent blockages, we turned their basement woes into a solid foundation for their dream space.

Foundation Wall Seepage

Water seeped through foundation walls, creating efflorescence and a nagging cleanup process. In order to create a finished basement space, a comprehensive waterproofing solution was needed.

Basement Vapor Barrier

Our CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed to the foundation walls to prevent moisture from accessing the basement. This greatly reduces humidity and channels any water directly into the WaterGuard system before accessing the basement space.

Interior Basement Drainage System

WaterGuard is installed along the perimeter of the basement to intercept water before it seeps into the basement space. The water that is collected is channeled to the sump pump system for removal from the home.

Surface Drainage System

This unique basement had areas without a concrete slab. To ensure the area designed to be finished was fully protected from water intrusion, our crew installed our TrenchDrain surface drainage system. This system connects to WaterGuard, creating one drainage system.

Basement Entrance Waterproofing

TrenchDrain is also utilized to collect water at the basement entrance since this is not a feasible location for WaterGuard.

Sump Pump System with Battery Backup

The TripleSafe Sump Pump system ensures that water is able to be pumped out of the home at all times, even during power outages! With its three-pump system, increased water levels in times such as heavy rains or snowmelt are no match for our dependable sump pump!

Discharge Line Freeze Prevention

Water is removed from the home through a discharge line. As the discharge line reaches the outer portion of the home, IceGuard is installed. This system prevents water from freezing up the line, therefore avoiding backups and basement flooding.

Discharge Line Bubbler Pot

The discharge line is placed in a location where water will not return to the home. At the end of the discharge line, a bubbler pot is installed to more efficiently have the water absorb into the soil, rather than pool on the lawn's surface. Lastly, the discharge line is buried, preserving the home's curb appeal.
