4 Ways to Protect Your Basement from Water Damage
Creating a basement waterproofing system is crucial in protecting your home from water damage, mold, mildew, foundation issues, high energy bills, and many other unwanted problems. Here at Carolina Basement Systems, we offer a variety of patented products and solutions to keep your basement dry. If you’ve ever had a flood in your basement before, it is likely to happen again. Fortunately, there is a lot you can do to prevent water from getting into your basement!
Basement Drainage System
Our Solution: WaterGuard is our subfloor, interior drainage system. It is installed around the perimeter of the basement where the floor meets the wall. It is specially designed to capture water seepage through the walls and leaks along the floor. Its nearly invisible design is fast, easier, and less expensive to install than exterior drainage systems, and its rugged plastic material will never corrode or decay.
Sump Pump System
Our Solution: The TripleSafe sump pump system is the superior solution when choosing a pump to best protect your basement from flooding. Its three-pump design automatically adjusts to the current pumping requirements of the basement. It includes a heavy-duty 1/3 horsepower cast-iron pump, a ½ horsepower pump, and a battery-operated pump that turns on in the case of power failure.
Dehumidifier
Our Solution: The highly efficient and high-capacity SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and Air Purification System. This energy-star-rated system is noted as the most efficient dehumidifier in the world. It can take up to 100 pints of water per day while using the same amount of energy as a 40-pint dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona eliminates musty odors and dampness without you ever having to empty a bucket, because it automatically drains to your drainage system!
Downspout Extensions
Downspout extensions divert water away from your home’s foundation by extending your gutter’s discharge lines. When water is dumped directly onto your foundation and the foundation soils get very wet, hydrostatic pressure can cause water to seep through your basement walls. This is why you want to extend your downspouts and redirect water to being disposed of a safe distance away from your home.
If you’ve ever had water in your basement and want to know more about our top-quality waterproofing solutions, give us a call! All of our installations include a written, transferable warranty that will provide you with long-lasting peace of mind.
