Signs of Wet Basement Problems

  1. Water Stains
    Water stains along the walls or floor may indicate a wet basement issue.
  2. Musty Odor
    A musty, unpleasant smell is another sign. This odor is often due to mold and mildew growth caused by moisture.
  3. Efflorescence
    This is white or grayish ash on the walls, usually caused by salts in the concrete being carried to the surface by water.
  4. Mold or Mildew
    Mold and mildew can grow in damp environments and are common signs of a wet basement. Mold can harm your health, so it should be addressed promptly.
  5. Damaged Walls
    Cracked, bowed, or warped walls can indicate a water problem. When water pressure builds up outside the walls, it can lead to structural damage.
  6. Peeling Paint
    Water seeping into your basement can cause the paint on your walls and floor to peel.
  7. Damp, Wet Walls or Floor
    This is the most obvious sign of a wet basement. Water may not pool on the floor; it might only make the walls feel damp.
  8. High Humidity
    If your basement feels unusually humid, it might be due to a moisture problem.
  9. Wood Rot or Rust
    If wooden structures or iron appliances are in your basement and rotting or rusting, respectively, this could indicate excess moisture.
  10. Insects and Bugs
    Many insects and pests are attracted to damp environments. If you notice increased pests, this could indicate a moisture problem.
  11. Basement Flooding
    This is a clear sign of a severe problem, often caused by heavy rain, burst pipes, or inadequate drainage around your home.
  12. Cracks in the Foundation
    This could indicate a severe issue allowing water to seep into the basement.
    If you observe any of these signs, it’s advisable to consult with a basement waterproofing professional or a structural engineer to assess the extent of the problem and recommend appropriate solutions.

THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO REMOVE A HIGH VOLUME OF WATER UNDER YOUR BASEMENT SLAB FLOOR.

The SuperDry System

Wallguard Basement waterproofing installs the best waterproofing systems using advanced, customized, effective engineering solutions. Our systems still have the lowest service requests in the industry. It’s that good.

We don’t use cookie-cutter, rigid, on-the-footing drain channels for a good reason.

The only way to remove groundwater before it turns your basement into a damp sauna is 12 to 14 inches beneath your floor. That way, water will never perk up or rise and touch the bottom side of your floor.

The rigid, on-the-footing drain channels only start working when water is already touching the underside of your floor and sitting in water. It’s too little, too late.

Our approach is genuinely powerful, effective, and configurable to any foundation, whether poured concrete, cement/cinder block, or stone wall foundation.

Our interior waterproofing system protects your basement using two distinct parts:

SUB-FLOOR DRAINAGE SYSTEM:
A maintenance-free, self-cleaning drainage system capable of moving water to your sump pump station without touching your walls or floor.

SUMP PUMP STATION:
A dependable sump pump station that removes water fast enough to keep you dry during the rainiest seasons. Also, during the winter season, our optional Freeze-Free vent will stop the discharge line from freezing, allowing water to continue flowing out of the house during the coldest winter months.

Key features of our sub-floor drainage installation:

Structural Integrity
We create engineering tabs around your floor to maintain the outward pressure to support walls.

Code-Compliance
Original floors are 3.5 to 6 inches thick & building code compliant. We replace what we take away, which improves resale value.

Concrete Repair
Our proprietary concrete compound for walls has a crystalline component that grows into concrete, strengthening and waterproofing it.

Maintenance-Free
Our drainage pipes are perpetually self-cleaning & never clog. Other systems have costly annual maintenance requirements.

Lifetime Warranty
We guarantee that you will never require an annual flush maintenance program, get mud-clogged drainage or cracks in your treated floor or walls, or we will fix
