Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Protection Against Flooding and Stopping Water Intrusion in Parksville, NY

A basement located in Parksville, NY needed help and fast. Water was coming up through the concrete floor and seeping through the walls. Efflorescence could be seen all over the walls, which is a clear sign of water intrusion. This chalky, white substance gets left behind after the minerals in concrete dissolve in water, and the water slowly evaporates. While it’s not harmful like mold, it’s not pleasant to look at, and can really ruin the overall look of a basement. To stop water from seeping through the walls, we installed our CleanSpace Wall System. This 100% waterproof vapor barrier made of plastic is designed to prevent this exact thing from happening. It was also the perfect product to give these damaged and unfinished basement walls a clean and bright look. It even features built-in antimicrobial protection called UltraFresh, which prevents mold from forming on this liner. To protect the basement from flooding due to all the water intrusion, we also installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system is equipped with three modes of defense to stop major floods from occurring. It has two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower sump pumps designed to discharge thousands of gallons of water. In the event of pump failure or a power outage, the UltraSump battery backup system will turn on and allow the sump pump to keep running smoothly.  On a fully charged battery, this device can discharge up to 11,500 gallons of water or more safely from your basement. When our team was done with the installation, this homeowner could relax knowing any water coming in would be collected & directed out of their basement.
