Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Water Control in Ingalls, MI

Challenge

The basement of this home in Ingalls, MI had major water issues.  Hydrostatic pressure from the wet soil surrounding the home's foundation was causing water to come into the basement through the basement walls.  These homeowners needed a solution that would trap the water coming in through the walls, and also a system that would collect the water coming in and drain it to the sump pump.  

Solution

To trap the water coming in through the walls, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their CleanSpace® Wall System. Like our other wall systems, it can hold back water vapor passing through your foundation walls, directing it to your sump pump. With anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!

To collect and drain the water being trapped by the CleanSpace system, Sure-Dry 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.
