Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Leaking Causes Ugly Rust Stains in Emmett, MI Basement
These homeowners reached out to HomeSpec because water was leaking into their basement at the joint where the floor and wall meet, as well as through a crack in the wall. After heavy rains or big snow melts, they would find puddles of water on the floor. The concrete floor had also been rust-stained from the repeated leaking, creating an eyesore.
The professionals at HomeSpec were able to solve this headache of a problem with the WaterGuard drainage system. This is a long-term waterproofing system that is installed around the interior perimeter of the basement below the floor. It collects water squeezing its way through the foundation before it makes its way into the basement, and drains it into the sump pump.
