A homeowner in Oreland, PA reached out to Jamison Basement Waterproofing with an exciting project in mind: finishing his basement to add value and livable space to his home. However, he knew that before making any improvements, he had to ensure the basement would remain dry and protected from water intrusion . With a newly finished space he didn’t want to take any chances ..
The homeowner understood that finishing a basement without proper waterproofing could expose him to the risk of water damage, particularly in a region prone to heavy rain. He wanted a reliable solution that would not only keep his basement dry but also guarantee it would remain that way for years to come.
After assessing the property, we provided a comprehensive waterproofing system designed to ensure his basement stayed dry, even during the heaviest rains .
🔹 New Sump Pump with Battery Backup: We installed a state-of-the-art sump pump with a battery backup #GrateSump to ensure 24/7 protection, even in the event of a power outage. This provides peace of mind, knowing that the basement will remain dry no matter what.
🔹 Patent Great Drain System: Our GreatDrain Perimeter Drainage System was installed around the entire basement to intercept and redirect water away from the foundation, preventing any water from entering the basement at the floor wall joint !
🔹 ThermalShield Moisture Vapor Barrier: We applied our advanced Thermal Shield Moisture Vapor Barrier to the walls, which creates an impermeable seal against moisture while also improving energy efficiency and some insulation value to the foundation walls .
🔹 WiseAire 100 High-Efficiency Dehumidifier: To maintain optimal humidity levels ( below 55% ) we installed our WiseAire 100 High-Efficiency Dehumidifier. This energy-efficient system keeps the air in the basement dry, preventing mold growth and maintaining the long-term health of the space.
🔹 One Free Year of Maintenance: To ensure everything runs smoothly for years to come, we included one year of free annual maintenance. This allows us to service the sump pump, dehumidifier, and waterproofing system, ensuring that the system remains in top condition and continues to provide reliable protection.
The Results:
With the comprehensive waterproofing system in place, the homeowner’s newly finished basement is now completely dry, energy-efficient, and protected from water intrusion. Thanks to the added sump pump with battery backup, he has confidence that even during power outages, his basement will remain safe and dry.
