Tuesday, April 11th, 2017 by Robert Langton

Challenge

Home owner suffered from poor health and the basement was not helping. Our customer wanted it dry and mold free, so that it wouldn't affect his health further.

Solution

To install the WaterGuard solution and control the ground water seepage that was reaping havoc in her basement along with a SuperSump and UltraSump PowerPack. Second was to seal the walls with CleanSpace to prevent additional water from wicking or leaking into her basement. And third to condition the basement air with a SaniDry Basement Air and dehumidification system. The customer has had no more issues with her basement and has enjoyed humidity levels well below 60% for over a year now.
