Basement Waterproofing in Flat Top, WV
Challenge
Recently, our team at Alford Foundation & Crawl Space Repair had the opportunity to serve a homeowner in Flat Top, WV, who was troubled by water leaking into their basement every time it rained. Understandably concerned about the potential for damage to their home's foundation and possessions, they reached out to us for a solution. Following our standard procedure, we began with a Appointment Center team member scheduling a detailed home inspection.
Solution
Our Solution Specialist then met with the homeowner, providing them with a personalized diagnosis and recommended a specific set of solutions. For this particular home, we believed the best remedy involved installing a SuperSump sump pump system known for its efficiency and reliability in removing water, an IceGuard system to ensure proper discharge even in freezing temperatures, and CleanSpace vapor barrier to protect the space from moisture and mold. Our goal was to not only remove the water but to also prevent future moisture problems, ensuring a dry and healthy basement environment.
Our experienced production team worked diligently at the home, starting by carefully preparing the space to avoid any disturbances to the homeowner's daily life. The installation of the SuperSump sump pump went smoothly, planted at a strategically determined low point to catch water effectively. The CleanSpace liner was then expertly applied to the walls, creating a clean, bright look while blocking humidity and water vapor. The IceGuard was fitted to the exterior drainage line, a critical addition to guard against winter freezes. Once installed, these systems worked in harmony to divert unwanted water away from the basement, leaving the homeowner relieved. Their basement is now a dry, usable space - free from the worries of rain-induced floods.
