4.9 Basement Waterproofing in Nashville, TN
Challenge
A homeowner had lived in his home for 26 years and planned on it being his forever home, but for the past few years he has had problems with flooding in his basement. He had been using his basement for storage, but the frequent heavy rains would bring in water and his storage space became smaller and smaller. He was ready for a permanent fix, so he could take back his basement!
Solution
The homeowner was ready for a permanent fix by a trustworthy company at a good price. He was happy with our inspectors solution, so he chose us. Our solution was to install our waterproofing products around the perimeter of his basement, install one of our best sump pumps, and also install BrightWall Paneling on his walls.
First, we had the homeowner clear out any small personal items and our crew removed bookshelves and larger items out of the way. Our crew then removed old foam insulation that was used to try to keep the leaking from the corner of the basement at bay. DIY fixes are not the way to go for serious flooding in your home.
We then jackhammered the perimeter of the basement to make way for our products and made weep holes in the wall, so trapped water could find its way out. BrightWall Basement Wall Panels were also installed. These panels are maintenance free and can easily transform ugly basement walls into bright and beautiful walls. The most important thing about the BrightWall to the homeowner was that it was designed to work with our waterproofing system. Once installed, the panels will direct wall seepage down to the perimeter drain.
They then installed the WaterGuard and TrenchDrain around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard is best for collecting water from the surface area and walls, and the TrenchDrain is great for collecting water at openings, such as garage doors. These products then get cemented into your floor for that permanent fix!
The TripleSafe Twin Sump Pump System was installed and is ready to take on all of the rainwater the basement might encounter. It has a backup battery operated pump and an alarm that lets you know something is wrong before your entire basement is flooded.
After the water is collected it makes its way to the pump and out of the home through the LawnScape Outlet. Which is conveniently green to better match the surrounding grass and far away from your home!
