Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water in Basement in Madison, MS
While preparing a downstairs bedroom to become their new baby's nursery, these homeowners discovered water and mold on the carpet and walls. After keeping an eye on the problem, they noticed the water became worse after rain, leading them to realize moisture was coming through an exterior wall that sits below grade.
The water wasn't limited to the future nursey. During the inspection, signs of water intrusion was found in a nearby playroom and a storage room in the garage. Because the home was built into the side of a hill, the affected rooms are below grade and treated as a basement area.
Mike and his crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system, CleanSpace wall system and TripleSafe sump pump to address the water intrusion and help keep the below-grade space dry.
With a new baby on the way, the homeowners wanted to take care of the moisture problem before moving forward with their nursery renovations. Now, they can continue transforming the space with greater peace of mind knowing the water intrusion has been addressed.
