Sump Pumps Photo Album: Basement Makeover in Clarksville TN

This basement has been leaking for almost 20 years and the family was ready for a permanent solution. The leak continued to get worse over time not only was it frustrating now it was an unhealthy eyesore. A water mitigation system that could manage the amount of water this basement fought was key.

Mold and Efflorescence

The porous block wall is not able to keep ground water out of the basement.

Saturated Foundation

These foundation blocks of the basement wall stay saturated allowing for mold and fungus to grow.

Dark and dingy

Unfortunately the water issues had become so bad the home owner did not know what to do. There was little the family could do with the basement other than store the lawn mower and a few outdoor tools.

HVAC Duct Lines

Because the HVAC duct lines were in the basement the air quality of the basement effect the air quality of the living space above.

First Steps

The first steps was some clean up. Removing everything in the basement to clean up the effected areas.

Interior Trench

A trench was dug along the interior wall of the basement for placement of the WaterGuard collection lines.

CleanSpace Walls

CleanSpace is used on these walls to encapsulate the basement protecting it from moisture but also for a nice clean appearance.

Trench Drain

A trench drain protects the basement from any water that might try to enter under the garage door. The trench drain is connected to the rest of the perimeter drainage system.

Full Protection

The family and home are fully protected. CleanSpace walls control moisture and look nice. The TripleSafe Sump System houses cast iron pumps to pump water out and away from the home's foundation. The SaniDry Sedona is the perfect dehumidifer for the home to control the humidity levels, preventing mold growth.
