Photo Album: Heavy rains causing basement flooding in Ft. Thomas, KY

A Ft. Thomas, Kentucky homeowner was having problems with a leaky basement during heavy rains.  He met with Jeff, a Certified Inspector, who recommended WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a TrenchDrain, SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, Foamax Basement Wall Insulation and a SaniDry Basement Air System. WaterGuard and the TrenchDrain System are installed along the foundation to intercept water that is seeping into the basement.  These systems drain water unseen into the sump pump system to be pumped out of the basement.  The sump pump system recommended here is the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System.  The SuperSump has a 1/3 hp pump, WaterWatch Alarm, SuperLiner, and an Airtight Lid. Foamax Basement Wall Insulation is an advanced polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with white foil finish on the front and a foil vapor barrier on the back.  It not only makes your basement warmer in the winter, and helps with condensation in the summer, and gives the basement a semi-finished look.   SaniDry Basement Air System filters the air from mold and allergens in the air and also lowers the humidity in the basement.  This makes the basement a more comfortable place in the home  These systems working together will create a more usable space that is dry and comfortable that can be used for extra living space or for storage without having to worry about high humidity or mold.
