Bowing Basement Wall with Crazing Cracks in High Point, NC
In this High Point, NC basement, the laundry area revealed severe foundation warning signs. The block wall showed evidence of bowing and horizontal displacement, along with crazing cracks that signal stress from hydrostatic soil pressure. Moisture intrusion left behind efflorescence, dark staining, and mold growth, all of which threaten air quality and structural stability. These conditions made the home a strong candidate for both foundation reinforcement and a full waterproofing system.
WaterGuard Drainage and CarbonArmor Prep in High Point, NC
Here, our crew began by trenching along the basement perimeter for the WaterGuard interior drainage system, designed to capture water at the floor-wall joint. At the same time, wall surfaces were cleaned and prepped for the installation of CarbonArmor wall reinforcement straps. These high-strength carbon fiber straps bond directly to the wall, preventing further inward bowing while providing a permanent structural solution. This dual approach addresses both water intrusion and foundation stability in one comprehensive system.
TripleSafe Sump Pump Installation in High Point, NC
To complete the waterproofing system in this High Point, NC basement, our crew installed a TripleSafe sump pump. This system features three levels of protection: a primary pump for everyday water removal, a secondary pump for heavy water flow, and a battery backup to keep the system running during power outages. Connected to the WaterGuard interior drainage system, the TripleSafe ensures that water collected along the perimeter is automatically discharged away from the home, keeping the basement dry and protected year-round.
CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement and WaterGuard Drainage in High Point, NC
This photo captures two critical solutions installed in the High Point, NC basement. Along the wall, CarbonArmor straps were applied to reinforce bowing block walls and halt further inward movement caused by hydrostatic soil pressure. At the floor level, the WaterGuard drainage system is being placed in a gravel trench to intercept groundwater before it enters the basement. Together, these systems provide structural stability and effective waterproofing, ensuring long-term protection for the home.
Finished WaterGuard Installation and Dehumidifier in High Point, NC
The High Point, NC basement now has a completed WaterGuard interior drainage system, sealed beneath a fresh layer of concrete for a clean, finished look. This system works invisibly below the floor surface, channeling water to the sump pump for safe discharge. Along the wall, CarbonArmor straps remain in place to keep the foundation stable. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier has also been installed, ensuring humidity stays under control while improving air quality. With these combined solutions, the basement is now dry, stable, and healthier for long-term use.
LawnScape Outlet Installation in High Point, NC
To finish the waterproofing system in this High Point, NC home, our crew installed a LawnScape outlet. This discreet drainage outlet connects to the sump pump discharge line, carrying water safely away from the foundation to prevent it from re-entering the basement. Installed flush with the yard, the outlet blends naturally into the landscaping while keeping water management highly effective. This final step ensures the entire waterproofing system works together capturing water inside, pumping it out, and releasing it far from the home.
