Before & After Photos

                This basement in Weaverville, NC was having water issues. Water would seep down the walls from ground level and puddle on the floors. These home owners did the right thing by calling All-Dry of the Carolinas. Our All-Dry crew was able to tackle this issue with three of our most used products: WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and the TripleSafe Pump.

In the “before” picture you see the corner of the basement before our All-Dry team started installing the WaterGuard and TripleSafe Pump. In the “after” picture you are able to see where the WaterGuard has been placed around the perimeter of the basement.

When water comes into your crawlspace there are several different ways to remove the water. In this crawlspace in Anderson, SC, water was flooding in during heavy rains.  In the “before” picture you see a bare crawlspace with a trench dug around the perimeter. This trench was made to fit in our 3 inch drain tile. This draining system is three inches in diameter and is placed under the soil. Whenever water tries to enter the crawlspace again, the water will enter the draining system and be guided to the SmartSump pump to be flushed from the crawlspace. The “after” picture shows the draining system anchored down by rocks and leading to the SmartSump.

Unfortunately, there are many basements that are plagued with water intrusion. There are a number of different ways that this water may be getting into the basement, but we know of one surefire way of keeping it out! Our systems have been installed in thousands of homes and these homeowners have been pleased at the results! While we hate that many homes are dealing with these issues, we are glad that we can provide a solution to them!

This homeowner was having some serious water intrusion in their basement, enough that some of the wood making up the stairs was beginning to deteriorate. The homeowner called knowing that this could certainly be a serious issue. Our System Design Specialist was able to diagnose the problems that were going on in the basement, and provide the perfect solution for the home.

The after picture gives a great view of some of the work that was done in the basement of this Anderson, SC home. The two biggest things were the installation of the CleanSpace liner and the WaterGuard, which cannot be seen well in this photo. The CleanSpace was installed along the walls of the basement in order to help catch and bring the water to the WaterGuard that was installed. WaterGuard is a drain that was installed along the perimeter of the basement floor in order to catch any and all water that was coming through.

This home in Fletch, NC was experience water dripping down their walls into the basement. When water comes into the basement in this way it can cause several issues for the home. Mold, musty smells, wall damage, and even furniture damage were the risks for this Fletch, NC basement. To solve this issue they called in our All-Dry of the Carolinas team to install WaterGuard and a SuperSump Pump. The WaterGuard system intercepts the water at the perimeter of the basement and drains it unseen and safely into the SuperSump where it is then flushed from the basement. WaterGuard is different because it is designed to not sit in dirt like most draining systems do. There is a special wall flange that creates space between the floor and wall allowing wall seepage to drain through the WaterGuard while keeping it away from the dirt. Since this type of drainage is separated from dirt, the chances of it clogging are nearly impossible! The WaterGuard leads the water to the SuperSump where it is then flushed from the basement outside to the LawnScape outlet. All resulting in a dry basement! The SuperSump Pump is a sump pump that can pump up to 2,650 gallons an hour, has a WaterWatch system, Superliner with 96 holes for water flow, and an Airtight Lid. The SuperSump then drains all water outside through the LawnScape Outlet. Together with these products the basement will be able to remain dry and to avoid damage.

This homeowner was in the middle of a renovation of their basement, but not on their own accord. Unfortunately this homeowner's basement had flooded and wrecked most of the area. They were in the middle of the renovation when they called us to see what we would be able to do for them. They wanted to make sure that before they finished it up, that they made sure they were protected from another flooded basement.

This is only a small part of the entire system, and only shows one small corner of the entire basement. However, these pictures give a pretty good idea of what the basement looked like both before and after the work was finished. You can see a little of the water damage along the wall, which is never a good sign. Mold can very easily grow on wet drywall, which can cause many more problems.

But have no fear, because WaterGuard is here! The after photo shows part of the installed system. This will help to prevent any water from staying in the basement, by collecting it and immediately draining it to the SuperSump Pump, which then pumps the water away from the home. The homeowner was so happy to not have to worry about this ever happening to them again.
