The J. Monroe Parker house was built in 1881 by James Monroe Paker who was a wealthy davenport financer. The home was designed by 19th-century builder T.W. McClelland.
The challenge with this large historic home was that the home had few straight walls and the WaterGuard system had to be cut in many different sizes and placed. Four TripleSafe sump pumps were added to the home to make sure that the home stayed dry. The TripleSafe sump pump is a three pump system that comes with a battery back up and WaterWatch alarm. The battery back up is used to keep the pump running in the case that the power goes out. The WaterWatch alarm is placed at the top of the pump and will alert you in case the water in the pump gets too high. The walls had a layer of CleanSpace added to them. CleanSpace is a barrier that is installed on the walls, similar to a very thick pool liner and will help keep out moisture.
Homeowners Channon and Ben contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to learn more about the options they had for waterproofing their home. They were experiencing standing water that damaged the bottom half of the walls in their home. After meeting with a design specialist they decided that having the walls removed was the best decisions for their home. They had a full perimeter waterproofing system installed in their home. The WaterGuard System will help channel the water out of the home. The TripleSafe sump pump is a three pump system that comes with a battery back up. The walls were replaced with wall panels that are all inorganic so that they will not mold or mildew. These are a great addition to any home.
