Homeowners in Centuria, WI had a leaky and wet basement. They knew it was most likely due to cracking in their foundation. In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS.
DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for this project and recommended that a new drain system needed to be installed, as well as substantial support for the shifting basement walls.
A DBS foreman and crew installed a new french drain system and CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier along the perimeter of the basement. This system directs all the moisture to a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System.
To permanently stabilize the basement walls, 8 steel I-beams were used. This PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, is meant to support walls from further movement and can be tightented over time, in order to restore the wall to its original position.
The installation was successful and provided a solid solution to the leaking water and foundation cracks.
