Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Wet Basement in Orrington, Maine

Homeowners in Orrington, Maine reached out for a free estimate to repair their wet basement. The basement had dirt floors, and old stone walls, both culprits for allowing water to easily seep into the space. System Design Specialist Mark S. recommended a plan to waterproof their basement, including a new slab floor, WaterGuard perimeter drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier, and Spray Foam insulation.   First we installed a layer of drainage matting to control the groundwater before we poured the new slab floor. WaterGuard perimeter drainage collects any moisture seeping in and directs it to the new TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped away from the home. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps, and a third battery backup pump to keep the system operating even if the power goes out. CleanSpace Wall system was installed on the walls as a vapor barrier to seal moisture out of the basement, directing it behind the liner down to the WaterGuard. Lastly, Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists. Spray Foam not only improves the energy efficiency of the home, but is also water and mold resistant, perfect for basements!
