Before & After Photos

This basement was still wet from the last rain. It needed the patented basement waterproofing systems called WaterGuard.  WaterGuard is a system that is designed to go on top of the footer so that it will not get clogged by the mud that is next to the footer.  

We also installed the ThermalWall vapor barrier so that moisture from the foundation wall would not evaporate into the basement.  We seal the top and tape the joints so that no air can escape.  The bottom of the vapor barrier is installed into the WaterGuard system so that moisture can drain away.  Now the basement has a guarantee against water seepage from the foundation walls but also will have less moisture in the air.  It is now ready to use.  

Cinder block wall often fail due to the weight of the soil, the weight of the water in the soil, and the pressure created by clay expansion when it gets wet. The result is that the walls bow inward and will eventually collapse unless repaired. 

The GeoLock Wall Anchor System is the best solution for bowed walls. This dead-man anchoring system is capable of reversing the pressure and stabilizing the wall. The GeoLock System has three main parts: a 9-foot threaded galvanized rod that extends out to the exterior ground anchor - a galvanized steel plus-sign-shaped plate which gets embedded in stable soil, away from the foundation of your house. The other end of the threaded rod goes through two steel channel anchors plates - one plate is attached on the exterior side of the wall, the other, in the exact location on the interior (basement) side of the wall. There is a bolt attached to the end of the rod that enters your basement. When that bolt is tightened, it creates reverse pressure and holds the wall securely in its current position. However, when the soil outside is very dry, the bolt can be tightened more to straighten the wall, and over time, the wall may straighten to its original position. Very cool indeed! This home in Elkton needed 10 anchors to repair the wall. 

This install consisted of a Cleanspace Vapor Barrier, Waterguard and a SuperSump Pump with Battery Backup. The CleanSpace will direct any water that the customer had coming in through their block foundation, down to the waterguard which will then flow the water over to the SuperSump and pumped out of the basement. Our SuperSump Pump has a high end 1/3 hp Zoeller cast iron pump that pumps out over 2600 gallons per hour and when paired with our UltraSump Batter Back Up, this customers basement will stay dry during any power outages.

This customer had a very damp and humid crawlspace that was causing mold to grow and the current insulation to fall down. To start off this project we first removed all the old damp insulation and then treated the mold with our Mold-X2 treatment. Next we installed our SilverGlo insulation wall panels and sprayed our RimTight spray foam insulation. Following our insulation install we put down our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, install a SmartPump with Smart Pipe and then we finish up the install with a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. 

This Elkton MD basement project consisted of 2 SuperSump Pumps an Ultra Sump Battery Back-Up, WaterGuard and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. Now if any water tries to enter the basement during a rainstorm, this basement is fully protected. The Cleanspace will direct any water or moisture from the wall, down to the Waterguard. Once the water hits the Waterguard it will then flow over to the SuperSump to be pumped out and away from the house. In some cases, there could be a strong storm coming through and it knocks out the power, we got them covered on this as well since we installed an Ultra Sump Battery Back-Up. If and when power goes out, the Ultra Sump will kick on and keep the water flowing out of the basement.
