Flooding Basement in Mondovi, WI
This is a common scene for basements in Wisconsin.
Water Damaged
Over time, water has penetrated the home's foundation.
Water Seeping Into Basement
Seeping water in the foundation block causes permanent damage and can eventually harm the structural integrity of the basement walls.
Bathroom in basement, finished in tile
This was a big trouble area for the basement, with water pooling on the floor along on the wall in this room.
In progress
Our crew first dug into the basement floor to create a new drain system.
WaterGuard®
A WaterGuard® drainage system was then installed.
WaterGuard® Around the Perimieter
WaterGuard® was installed through the perimeter of the entire basement.
WaterGuard® Around All Corner Walls
It is important to install the drain around the entire basement to ensure all water is properly drained to the sump pump.
Basement Bathroom After
Part of the damaged wall was excavated and the drain was installed.
Sump Pump and Dehumidifier
The SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier is connected to the TripleSafe™ sump pump.
Exterior of the home
Sump pump discharge close to home, causing excess ground water around the foundation.
IceGuard®
IceGuard® drains prevent wintertime freezing.
Digging New Discharge Line
In the spring, DBS Foreman Zach Royer dug a new discharge line for the sump pump.
Buried Discharge Line
The water is now directed away from the home.
