This customer called us with concerns of a "musty" smell in his walkout basement. We installed an Aprilaire dehumidifier to take the extra humidity out of the air. We also added a Trench Drain along the basement door to capture water that washed in under it, and funneled it into a SuperSump pump.
This customer called in with concerns that his existing sump pump was running nonstop. He also had several cracks in his floor that would allow seepage to break through. Hollis, our Design Specialist, gave him an estimate to install a WaterGuard perimeter system along with a SuperSump sump pump.
This Elkhart, Indiana family has a common bacteria growing in their soil called iron ochre. It can appear as a rusty colored slime on your floors, along your walls, or even in your sump pit. It can wreak havoc on plumping, discharges, and drain tiles designed to navigate water away from your foundation. We had to specially design this basements waterproofing solution to accommodate the amount of water they bring in and to also allow a way to clean that iron ochre from their system.
As a baseboard drainage system, DryTrak® installs above the floor and along the inside perimeter of the basement.
If you have a monolithic foundation, meaning that your floor and footing were poured as one piece, this is the only drainage system that's appropriate. DryTrak® is also perfect for other applications when jackhammering the floor is not an option-- in basements with radiant heat, for example.
Water would seep into the corner of this Francesville, Indiana home. We installed a SuperSump pump and a small portion of DryTrak, to channel the seepage. The sump is then ejected into a 15 ft discharge line we ran underground.
