Basement Water Intrusion Before Waterproofing - Sanford, NC
Before our team stepped in, this Sanford, NC basement showed clear signs of active water intrusion. Damp spots on the floor and dark stains along the block walls revealed where moisture was seeping in after rainfall. Over time, this led to discoloration, efflorescence, and musty odors. This image captures the starting point of the project highlighting the severity of the water issue before our waterproofing system was installed to transform the space into a clean, dry, and protected area.
Interior Drainage System Installation - Sanford, NC
After identifying the water intrusion, our team began installing a full perimeter drainage system in this Sanford, NC basement. The concrete was carefully removed around the edges to place a WaterGuard drainage channel, designed to capture and redirect groundwater to the sump pump system. The CleanSpace vapor barrier was also installed along the walls to prevent moisture and humidity from entering the space. This step marks the foundation of a lasting waterproofing solution, ensuring that any water entering the basement is efficiently managed and kept out of the living area.
TripleSafe Sump Pump System Installation - Sanford, NC
In this stage of the project, our team installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump system to serve as the heart of the waterproofing solution. Located in the corner of the basement, this powerful system is designed to collect and discharge any water captured by the WaterGuard drainage line. With multiple pumps for backup protection, it ensures continuous operation even during power outages or heavy rain. The CleanSpace vapor barrier neatly seals the walls, directing moisture into the drainage system while brightening and protecting the basement. This setup marks a key step toward achieving a fully dry, reliable, and worry-free space.
Final Waterproofing System Setup - Sanford, NC
In the final stage of this Sanford, NC basement waterproofing project, the TripleSafe Sump Pump system and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier were fully installed and connected. The sump pump ensures any water collected by the drainage system is efficiently pumped away from the home, while the SaniDry Sedona keeps humidity under control to prevent mold growth and musty odors. Together, these systems create a powerful and permanent moisture management solution, leaving the basement dry, clean, and ready for use year-round.
Trench Drain Installation for Doorway Protection - Sanford, NC
To prevent surface water from seeping under the basement doorway, our team installed a durable trench drain directly in front of the exterior entry. This system captures runoff before it can enter the basement, channeling it into the interior drainage system and sump pump for proper discharge. The concrete was neatly finished around the drain for a seamless and long-lasting installation, providing extra protection during heavy rain and keeping this Sanford, NC basement completely dry.
Exterior Discharge Line and Drainage Outlet - Sanford, NC
The final step of this Sanford, NC waterproofing project was directing collected water safely away from the home's foundation. Our team installed an exterior discharge line that carries water from the interior sump pump system to a LawnScape outlet positioned downhill for proper drainage. This ensures that water exits far from the basement entry, preventing future pooling or foundation saturation. The result is a complete interior and exterior waterproofing solution designed to keep this home dry and structurally protected year-round.
