Basement Waterproofing 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.

WaterGuard and Foamax have been installed in this basement. The Foamax gives the basement a semi-finished look but can also be covered if the homeowner decides to finish the basement.
SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System and SaniDry Sedona Basement Air System
The SuperSump pumps water out of the basement. The SaniDry will filter the air and will keep the humidity low. The water from the SaniDry can be drained into the SuperSump through a special opening on the Airtight Lid.
