Semi-Finished Pelzer, SC Basement with Water Intrusion Has WaterGuard Drain Installed

Finding out that there is a water intrusion issue in a finished basement is never fun to find out because it makes the repairs much more difficult. Floor and parts of walls may need to be replaced and any furniture near to the walls will likely have to be moved. As frustrating as this may seem, it is still better to go this route, because once the system is installed the problem will be solved for good. 

Fortunately for this homeowner, while they did have some furniture in the basement and used it more frequently than most others, it was not a completely finished basement. This homeowner was getting quite a bit of water intrusion through the joint between the floor and wall of the basement, which was increasing the relative humidity level in the crawlspace, which could easily mean even more troubles. The homeowner called before the issue became too serious because he had a family friend who had a similar issue and knew that All-Dry of the Carolinas could fix the problems they were having.

The solution to the water intrusion in the basement of this home was one that we've used thousands of times before; WaterGuard drains with a SuperSump pump system. The WaterGuard is installed in the floor around the perimeter of the basement, leaving a small gap between the floor and wall where water can flow into. The other part of the system is the SuperSump, which is like a sump pump on steroids, with many features that just a pump doesn't provide. The SuperSump ensures that the water that comes into the basement is promptly pumped out and away from the home.
