Basement Waterproofing Transformation in Bear, DE
In Bear, DE, a homeowner faced a persistent challenge: their unfinished basement constantly held moisture, leading to puddles every time it rained, despite having a functioning sump pump. First, we set up the WaterGuard system, an innovative drainage solution installed below the basement floor, adeptly guiding seeping water towards a sump pump. Next, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, ensuring the homeowner now had triple the protection against sump pump failure, excess water, and even power outages. Additionally, we added a CleanSpace liner on the walls, transforming the previously damp basement into a dry and healthier part of the home. Finally, by fitting the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, we significantly reduced indoor humidity, safeguarding against mold and mildew.

CleanSpace in Hockessin, DE
In this basement, water was intruding through the drywall and a moldy smell started to occur in the area. Our team went out to cut back the wall, removed and hauled away damaged insulation in order for us to install our sub-floor drainage system with a vapor barrier. This drain system will capture any water that seeps in through the foundation, which gets carried down safely through our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that connects to the WaterGuard. This surface barrier eliminates vapor, moisture and by keeping this area dry, will prevent mold growth.
