Wet Finished Basement in Oceanside, NY

The previous homeowner had installed a standard sump pump, but it wasn't robust enough to deal with the water seeping into the basement.

A dehumidifier could not keep up with the moisture in the basement, and it still felt damp despite its use.

There was evidence of water seepage in the unfinished areas of the basement floor, which meant it was under the finished area flooring as well.

A damp, dank area in the unfinished part of the basement.

Exposing the concrete basement floor beneath the finished area showed how water had been seeping into the area through the floor and walls.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement to channel water toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump.

The concrete basement floor was jackhammered open, the WaterGuard was installed, and then the floor was closed with fresh concrete.

WaterGuard will collect and channel water seeping into the basement directly into the TripleSafe sump pump.

Our TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed to remove all water collected by the WaterGuard system. Water is pumped out of the basement and released beyond the foundation of the home. IceGuard was installed on the discharge pipe to prevent water backup due to freezing in the winter. We buried the discharge pipe to direct water away from the house and added a LawnScape outlet at the end of the pipe to release the water onto the surface of the lawn, which allows for disbursement of the water and keeps it from going back into the basement.
