Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Custom Solution Waterproofs House and Helps It Sell
Challenge
Our customer purchased this house with the intent to renovate and resell. While the house was on the market, many of our customer's potential buyers noticed the severe leakage and water table issues within the basement/crawl space leading them to seek other homes to buy. As the #1 Waterproofer on Long Island, our customer requested us to develop a system that would create a safe and healthy environment for this basement/crawl space. Our experienced systems design specialist Michael Alexander initially recommended a full perimeter waterproofing system, however he and Bill Simone collaborated with our customer to create a custom solution for the water seepage.
Solution
Due to this house existing for 100 years, the challenging foundation within the basement/crawlspace allowed water vapor to permeate the walls and leak. After deciding on a CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulation, foreman Larry Foster led the installation of this system which was able to drain the existing leaks and stop the water vapor from continuing to permeate through the walls. Furthemore, a sump pump was installed to efficiently pump out the water through the discharge line. The efforts made by Healthy Basement Systems helped sell this house while also creating a safe and healthy environment for our customer and future home owners.
