Basement Waterproofing in Jessup,MD
Challenge
A homeowner in Jessup, MD, contacted us with a growing concern about their basement. A persistent wet spot on the carpet and a distinct musty odor were clear indicators of an underlying moisture problem. These telltale signs pointed to hidden water seepage that, if left unaddressed, could lead to more significant structural damage, mold growth, and a decrease in property value. The homeowner needed a reliable and permanent fix to protect their investment and restore the health of their home's lower level. The core challenge was to identify the source of the water intrusion and implement an effective system to ensure a dry, healthy basement for the long term.
Solution
To provide a definitive solution for basement waterproofing in Jessup, MD, our team designed a customized strategy. The production crew started by installing our WaterGuard® sub-floor drainage system. This innovative system is positioned below the floor slab to intercept water from both the walls and the floor before it can reach the basement living space. All captured water is then channeled to a newly installed SuperSump® pump system, a high-capacity and reliable unit designed to efficiently pump water out and away from the home. To combat the risk of musty odors and mildew, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier was installed along the walls, creating a clean, bright, and moisture-proof surface. Finally, to ensure year-round protection, we included our patented IceGuard® system on the exterior discharge line, which prevents the system from backing up during freezing winter weather. This comprehensive approach provided a robust, multi-layered defense, transforming the damp, musty space into a dry, clean, and usable part of the home.
