Insulation Services Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in 1890's Home in Milton Mills, NH

Homeowners in Milton Mills, NH own a home built in the 1890's, with a foundation made of old stones, and an exposed dirt floor. They found the basement was always damp, and grew tired of trying to clean up the water that would come into the space. After we provided a free estimate, they moved forward with installing a SuperSump pump system to handle the groundwater, a new SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity, as well as Spray Foam insulation to protect the basement.    The SuperSump pump can remove over 2,000 gallons of water per hour, pumping it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line with IceGuard protection. The SaniDry Sedona is a high efficiency air system that not only controls the humidity to a healthy level to keep the basement dry, but also has a MERV 8 filter to remove allergens from the air like mold spores. Spray Foam insulation seals out cold air, and is also water resistant, so it adds a layer of vapor barrier protection to the old stone walls.
