Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Nashville, TN

In Nashville, Tennessee, a home faced a common problem: a wet basement every time it rained, causing unsightly spots and mold growth. To address this issue, the basement underwent a waterproofing project. First, trenches were dug and weep holes were drilled along the walls to allow trapped water to escape. Then, a Water Guard System was installed to capture water seepage and leaks, directing them to a sump pump system. Drain pipes were installed to lead water away from the house and prevent basement flooding. A CleanSpace Liner, serving as a vapor barrier, was applied to stop moisture and mold, followed by a layer of gravel and fresh concrete. IceGuards were added for cold weather protection, and drainage pipes were extended at least 10 feet away to prevent water from re-entering the basement. To further ensure a dry environment, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed. This powerful dehumidifier helps maintain optimal humidity levels, preventing moisture buildup and mold growth. This comprehensive project ensured a dry, safe basement for the homeowners, alleviating concerns about water damage, mold, and excessive humidity.

Before Waterproofing

Without proper waterproofing measures, these areas are prone to mold growth and can lead to further structural and health-related problems. Identifying and rectifying water infiltration is crucial to maintaining a dry, safe, and mold-free basement environment.

Moisture Concerns

Our inspectors found elevated levels of humidity, which pose a significant risk, potentially leading to mold growth and structural damage if left unchecked. Addressing moisture concerns promptly through effective waterproofing measures is essential to safeguarding the basement environment and ensuring the health and safety of occupants.

Drilling Trenches

The first step of our waterproofing system involves digging trenches around the walls, followed by drilling weep holes at the bottom of the walls to allow trapped water to escape. These crucial measures are essential for effectively managing water infiltration and ensuring the long-term integrity of the basement structure.

CleanSpace Liner Installation

We installed our CleanSpace Liner along the walls of the basement that serves as a protective barrier, shielding the walls from moisture infiltration and preventing the growth of mold and mildew. This crucial step enhances the overall waterproofing system, ensuring a dry and healthy environment in the basement for years to come.

WaterGuard Installation

The WaterGuard System is designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along wall and floor joints. The system efficiently directs collected water to the sump pump, ensuring effective drainage and mitigation of moisture-related issues in the basement.

WaterGuard Throughout the Basement

This crucial step enhances the overall waterproofing strategy, safeguarding the basement against water damage and maintaining a dry environment.

Triple Safe Sump Pump

The Triple Safe Sump Pump is designed to efficiently manage water accumulation in the basement, effectively pumping water outside, away from the foundation of the house.

IceGuard and Drainage System

The installation of IceGuard and the drainage system are essential components for winter-proofing your basement. IceGuard prevents the buildup of ice and snow in the discharge pipe, ensuring proper water drainage even in freezing temperatures. Coupled with a reliable drainage system, these features provide year-round protection against basement flooding and water damage, offering homeowners peace of mind during the coldest months.

Fresh Layer of Concrete

The application of a fresh layer of concrete, a crucial step in enhancing the durability and resilience of the basement. The newly poured concrete provides a solid and seamless surface, sealing any gaps or cracks and fortifying the foundation against water infiltration and structural compromise.
