Signs of Water Intrusion in Fellowship Hall Basement - Raleigh, NC
In the basement of Hillcrest Baptist Church's fellowship hall, clutter and stored items sit near a below-grade window showing clear signs of past water intrusion. Staining along the lower wall and floor, as well as deterioration around the window frame, indicate that heavy rains have allowed moisture to seep inside. Our waterproofing plan will include sealing vulnerable entry points, installing proper drainage, and adding a protective moisture barrier to prevent future flooding and protect the church's stored equipment and supplies.
Interior Drainage System Installation - Fellowship Hall Basement, Raleigh, NC
In the fellowship hall basement of Hillcrest Baptist Church, excavation is underway along the perimeter walls to install an interior drainage system.

Exterior Drainage Line Installation - Hillcrest Baptist Church, Raleigh, NC
To combat flooding in the fellowship hall basement at Hillcrest Baptist Church, we installed a long buried exterior drainage line designed to carry water far away from the building's foundation.

This exterior solution works hand-in-hand with the interior waterproofing system to provide complete protection against heavy rain events.
