Photo Album: Waterproofing and Stabilization Prepares Basement for Finishing in Silvis, IL
Justin was wanting to finish his basement but was noticing some water in some areas. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his basement repaired. During inspection he was informed that the I-Beam system that was previously installed by another company was failing. Mike offered him the solution CarbonArmor to permanently stop the walls from worsening, and offered a waterproofing system. CarbonArmor is not only a permanently solution to stabilizing bowing walls, but is very ideal when finishing the basement. It’s low profile design allows for products to be installed over top of it. The waterproofing system consisted of full perimeter WaterGuard, a TripleSafe and a SaniDry Sedona. WaterGuard collects any seeping water and redirects it to the TripleSafe to be discharged out of the basement. The SaniDry Sedona is an industrial-grade dehumidifier that keeps the humidity and moisture levels under control, making it very ideal when basement finishing is in the future.
Failing Support
Old I-Beam system has rusted and oxidized over the years. It was also installed too far off the foundation wall, allowing for the walls to worsen.
Water Damage
Leaking basement has caused discoloration in some areas.
Preparing for Installation
Old warped paneling has been removed, preparing for stabilization and waterproofing.
Permanent Stabilization
CarbonArmor is installed to permanently stabilize and stop walls from worsening.
Full Perimeter Waterproofing
WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement to prevent water from surfacing.
Waterproofed and Stabilized
The TripleSafe discharges all water from the basement, while the SaniDry Sedona keeps moisture levels under control.
