Water Issues in the Basement - Sheridan, OR

With water creeping through the foundation and into the basement, the owners of this home had concerns. They didn't know what this could do to their health, but they could determine that is smelled damp and musty. Knowing they wanted to do something about this before it caused issues, the owners contacted John's Waterproofing for a free inspection. We did a full walk-through the basement with the owners and than worked on a solution. To begin we would dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the room. We than lay down gravel and WaterGuard. This system will collect water and allow it safe travels to the lowest point. From here the water enters a TripleSafe sump pump and is directed away from the homes foundation. Along the walls we than installed our BrightWall paneling. This is a rigid plastic material that will not mold or mildew, and acts as a safe vapor barrier for moisture to travel behind and down into the drain system. We than finished this job by installing a SaniDry dehumidifier which will address any excess moisture in the space. Now the owners can rest easy knowing their home is healthier from the foundation up.
