Signs of Water Intrusion - Boone, NC
This Boone, NC basement shows early symptoms of water damage and high humidity. The dark staining and efflorescence on the block walls indicate that moisture has been seeping through the porous concrete over time. Without proper drainage or vapor protection, the walls have absorbed water from the surrounding soil, leading to mold growth and a musty odor.
Installing the Interior Drainage System - Boone, NC
To address the ongoing water intrusion, our team began by installing a WaterGuard interior drainage system along the perimeter of the basement. This system captures water seepage from the walls and floor joint before it can reach the living space. The exposed trench shows the precise channel placement before being sealed with fresh concrete. Additionally, a CleanSpace wall vapor barrier was applied to the foundation walls. This durable liner prevents moisture and vapor from passing through the porous block walls while directing any condensation into the WaterGuard system below ensuring a permanently dry, clean environment moving forward.
