Water & Mold Issues Resolved in Fond Du Lac, WI

Challenge

The basement of this home in Fond Du Lac, WI had severe water issues with water coming into the basement through the cold floor joints every time it rained or the snow melted. Not only did the water make a mess and get their belongings wet, it had resulted in mold and allergy issues for the homeowners and their grandchildren. 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 something to get rid of the existing mold and prevent more from growing.

Solution

Sure-Dry, LLC 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® drainage system to collect the water seeping through the basement floor joints and drain it to the 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 drain and discharge the water being contained by the WaterGuard, Sure-Dry installed their SuperSump® Plus 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.

Mold-X2 was also applied to the walls to kill and eliminate the existing mold, and prevent it from returning. Mold-X2 is a highly concentrated disinfectant cleaner that uses a fungicide to kill and prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
