Before & After Photos

This Paducha Kentucky home was poorly insulated. Controlling humidity and temperature was difficult and frustrating for the family.

Sealing all air leaks and properly insulating from top (attic) to bottom (crawl space) protects the home from outside temperatures and humidity.

Encapsulating the crawl space and attic helped the family regain control of their home.

Real estate agents in our coverage areas see a lot of homes with water issues - and they know that the best thing to do is to get the experts in to fix the problem and permanently.

In the case of this house a WaterGuard line was installed around the entire perimeter of the basement to collect water seepage, which is then draining into a new sump liner, and pumped out of the discharge line, away from the property by a Zoeller Sump Pump.

This customer from Paducah, KY called into the office and reported that they had water coming in from an area of the basement and wanted us to come check it out. After investigating we quoted 43 ft of waterguard and the Design Specialist talked to the customer about all the different options. They also explained that a vapor barrier is recommended to help direct the water to the waterguard. 

 We ended up installing IceGuard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines, a TripleSafe Single pump system, a LawnScape Outlet, and a WaterGuard XL sub-floor drainage system. We also installed CleanSpace wall liner on walls 4 feet high. Now their basement is fully waterproofed, and the should not have any water intrusion issues again. 

We installed watergaurd and a triple safe pump.

This Kentucky couple had a huge problem with an excessive amount of moisture in their crawl space. They were worried that this problem would only get worse if they did not get professional help. They needed a solution to get the moisture OUT of their space, so they called us!
After discussing with our specialist at their free inspection appointment, they learned more about our whole encapsulation process and agreed that was the best for their home. 

SuperSump Pump Details:

• SuperLiner This premium plastic sump liner is the attractive alternative to an open sump pit. Perforations in the liner capture ground water, and a larger opening connects to the interior drainage system. The liner's airtight lid keeps out pests and debris, while also eliminating the safety hazard of an open sump pit.
• Floor drain If a plumbing leak or other unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor, a one-way floor drain in the lid will allow this water to drain into your sump system.
• WaterWatch Alarm If a power outage, tripped circuit breaker or other malfunction shuts down your sump pump, this alarm will sound when water level rises above the sump pump intake.
• Zoeller cast-iron, 1/3 HP pump Inexpensive sump pumps with plastic housings are prone to overheating and burnout. All Basement Systems sump pumps are equipped with powerful, top-quality Zoeller sump pumps. The unit installed in our SuperSump is one of the best, capable of pumping up to 2,280 gallons per hour.
• CleanPump pump stand This patented stand elevates the sump pump intake port to help prevent clogging, which is a common cause of pump burnout.
• Check valve Installed in the drain line, this valve prevents pumped water from re-entering the sump pit.
• Improved float valve Cheap "ball-on-wire" float valves are prone to snagging and other malfunctions. We use only linear-motion float valves for reliable, long-term performance.

They are thrilled to have their humidity and moisture level down!
