Photo Album: The Solution to A Wet Basement in State College, PA

While this customer's full-time residence is in Virginia, he is also the proud owner of this multi-unit dwelling in State College, PA. During his most recent stay at this State College space, he noticed water coming through a small crack under the heating unit in his basement. Knowing he does not stay at this location as often; he needed a professional to solve his wet basement problem. After seeing a Liberty Basement Systems commercial, he decided to contact our office and schedule a free, professional inspection and services estimate.    After Inspector, Jeff P. did a thorough evaluation of the customers basement, he had the solution the customer needed to fix his wet basement problems for good. After the installation process was discussed, the customer was eager for one of our crews to waterproof his basement.   When the production crew examined the basement, the first thing they needed to do was disconnect and move the hot water heater to install The WaterGuard Sub-Floor Drainage System. The customer was aware of this possibility and agreed that if the heater needed to be removed, the production team would place it back once the job was complete. The interior perimeter of the basement floor was jackhammered out, debris removed and 22ft of WaterGuard was placed in the trench. A SumpSump Pump System was installed to pump any water that comes through the WaterGuard, and safely removed it through an Exterior Discharge Line that was also installed. In addition to these Basement System products, CleanSpace Wall System was installed over a knee wall to channel water from the weep holes into the WaterGuard. Weep holes are drilled into the basement foundation wall, so water has a way to escape.    Once the inside of the basement waterproofing process was completed, the production crew made their way outside to start digging a 15ft channel to install the Exterior Discharge Line. A hole is drilled from the inside basement through to the outside of home. The discharge line is then connected to the SuperSump Pump System. The pump will drain water through the discharge line and be carried away from the home. IceGuard was installed on the discharge line. IceGuard prevents floods from a clogged or frozen discharge line. A LawnScape Well was installed and the end of the discharge line to allow water to drain out and away from the home.    This homeowner no longer has to worry about a wet basement when they are not in the area.
