Thermaldry Baesment Wall System helps protect against moisture and reflects heat back into the basement.
The Xypex is put over the crack in the wall and will expand when water hits it, preventing the water from leaking through that crack into the basement.
Cutomer called due to water buildup during the fall
The low point was in their driveway, and they wanted something to help prevent it from going into their home. The previous owner had a trench drain installed, but it wasn't deep enough, so the water was flooding out of the drain. So we pulled out the old one and dug it out so it would be 12in x 12in. Giving the water enough space to drain without causing any damage to the garage or home.
This homeowner was experiencing leaking water in their basement. This can happen if there's cracks in the foundation walls or improper drainage was installed. It is usually the cause of too much water pressure puddling up and seeping into the basement. Once this homeowner noticed that their was a water problem, they called John's Waterproofing to get the issue solved and stop the water from flooding in. After discussing their options, they agreed to doing a basement waterproofing so they wouldn't have to worry about it happening again. Our crew first installed a drainage system, WaterGuard, along the interior perimeter of the basement. This is super important in order to control the flow of water and be able to direct it to the sump pump. Our SuperSump Plus sump pump is able to collect the water from the WaterGuard and send it safely away from the homes foundation. Because the homeowner wanted this to be a finished space, we then installed ThermalDry along the foundation walls. ThermalDry is a vapor barrier, made of waterproof material to prevent mold growth, that helps guide moisture from the walls down to the drainage system. It is shingled to the WaterGuard to ensure secure waterflow. Additionally, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed that works to pull moisture out of the air and control the basement's environment. After the basement waterproofing process is completed, the homeowner gets to enjoy their healthy and dry basement again.
