The concrete walls of this Lake Oswego home were experiencing a lot of moisture seeping through, creating a damp environment. John's Waterproofing installed BrightWall basement wall paneling as a moisture and vapor barrier, a WaterGuard basement drainage system to drain any water seepage from the walls and floor joints to the sump pump, and included the TripleSafe sump pump system with a battery backup pump to protect against sump pump failure as well as basement flooding due to power outages.
Most of the year this basement was functional, though rather unsightly. Heavy rains brought moisture inside in the winters making the homeowner afraid to use the space at all. Our crew came in and installed Waterguard and BrightWall Panels which made the basement dry and usable. Not to mention it looked much better.
In this wet basement we installed our Waterguard system, which collects any water coming in and channels it to the sump pump. We also installed the Supersump sump pump that the water is channeled to, this will take the water out of the basement and discharge it in a location away from the home. Lastly, we installed a Cleanspace Basement Wall system. This will be a vapor barrier, controlling any moisture while channeling any higher up leaks into the Waterguard system. The Cleanspace Wall System also leaves the basement looking clean and bright. Making it a space you won’t dread going into!
Stephen had water coming into his basement and knew this was going to create mold and damage. He called into John's Waterproofing after seeing our trucks out n about and got an appointment scheduled with Vinny for a free inspection. Vinny suggested installing a WaterGuard draining system with a SaniDry dehumidifier and TripleSafe sump pump. Once completed, ThermalDry Tile will be installed to further waterproof the floor along with giving the basement a nice, finished look.
The SaniDry XP is a self-draining dehumidifier and removes up to 10x the moisture of a standard unit. It creates clean, dry air and reduces the risk of mold growth.
