Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Finished Basement Repair in Bedford, NH

In Bedford, NH, a homeowner faced over an inch of water entering their finished basement, damaging drywall and flooring. As seen in the photos, our team expertly installed WaterGuard, Feed Line, and TripleSafe Sump Pump to address the persistent flooding issue. To ensure a dry, healthy environment, we also set up the SaniDry XP, expertly removing excess moisture. Our solutions resolved the problem efficiently, providing the homeowner with a dry, secure, and usable basement.

Wet Finished Basement

Water intrusion had compromised the basement's finished living space, causing damage to drywall and flooring materials and rendering the area unsuitable for regular occupancy. To restore the space's functionality and prevent further deterioration, a comprehensive waterproofing solution was required to effectively manage moisture and protect the home's interior.

Drywall and Floring Removal

To facilitate the installation of a comprehensive waterproofing system, the damaged drywall and flooring were removed, exposing the foundation walls and slab perimeter. The extent of moisture infiltration became evident behind the finished materials, where significant water intrusion had occurred, highlighting the need for a permanent drainage and waterproofing solution.

WaterGuard

The WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system was installed along the interior perimeter of the basement to intercept groundwater seepage at the footing-wall joint before it could enter the living space. Designed to collect and channel water efficiently, the system directs groundwater to the sump pump for discharge, providing long-term protection against basement flooding and moisture intrusion.

TrenchDrain

The TrenchDrain™ system was strategically installed to capture and manage surface water at key entry points, preventing water from spreading across the basement floor. By collecting water at the source and directing it into the perimeter drainage system, the TrenchDrain™ provides an effective solution for controlling high volumes of water intrusion and enhancing the overall performance of the waterproofing system.

Feed Line

A dedicated feed line was installed to convey collected groundwater directly from the WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system to the sump pump located in the unfinished section of the basement. This configuration ensures efficient water transfer while keeping the sump system positioned outside the finished living area, maximizing both drainage performance and usable space.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

The TripleSafe® Sump Pump System was installed as the centerpiece of the waterproofing solution, providing reliable and redundant protection against basement water intrusion. Equipped with three levels of pumping capability, including a battery-powered backup pump, the system is designed to manage varying groundwater conditions and continue operating during power outages, helping keep the basement dry under even the most demanding circumstances.

SaniDry XP Dehumidifier

The SaniDry™ XP Dehumidifier was installed to control humidity levels and improve overall air quality within the basement. By removing excess moisture from the air, the system helps prevent mold growth, reduce musty odors, and create a healthier, more comfortable living environment while supporting the long-term effectiveness of the waterproofing system.
