Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Total Basement Water Protection in Spalding, MI

Challenge

This basement in Spalding, MI needed major help.  Water was finding its way into the basement through the walls, and they had no system in place to drain and discharge the water.  Because of this, the water was flooding their basement and causing damage to the items being stored in it.  

Solution

To collect the water coming in through the walls, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their WaterGuard® system.  The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement. WaterGuard® works for both block walls and poured concrete, ensuring that your basement remains dry in all situations. 

To take care of these homeowners walls, Sure-Dry installed their BrightWall® Basement Wall Panels.  BrightWall® is 100% waterproof and washable, and it creates a vapor barrier on your basement walls to block out water vapor and humidity. This ensures that you won't have to worry about mold growth or rot. Like our other wall products, it can direct water seepage into your perimeter drain.

Finally, to collect and discharge the water being trapped by the BrightWall and drained by the WaterGuard system, Sure-Dry installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The SuperSump® can also be installed with an optional UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump, which can pump out 11,500 gallons or more on a single charge!
