Total Water Control in Cedar Grove, WI

Thursday, April 2nd, 2020 by Tom Wardlow

Challenge

The basement of this home in Cedar Grove, WI had severe water issues. Water was coming in through multiple walls and water was pooling on the basement floor with nowhere to go. The homeowners needed a solution that would not only catch the water coming in, but also drain it away from the home, and they also wanted a barrier on the walls that would catch the water and cover up the unsightly cracks and water stains.

Solution

Sure-Dry Basement Systems provided these homeowners with a total water control system. To collect and drain the water coming in from the walls,. 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.

To trap the water coming in through the basement walls and direct to the WaterGuard® system, Sure-Dry installed their CleanSpace® vapor barrier. The CleanSpace® 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 drain and discharge the water being contained by the WaterGuard and CleanSpace, 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.
