Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hilton Head Island, SC had moisture issues in their crawlspace. The homeowner called Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free inspection and customized quote to fix the issue. After a thorough inspection, they recommended our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to eliminate the water issue. The homeowner decided to move forward with that recommendation and was very satisfied with the results.

If your home has an inefficient sump pump, then it cannot effectively protect against basement flooding, water seepage, and water damage. The waterproofing professionals at Lowcountry Foundation Repair, offer the TripleSafe™ sump pump system, a battery-powered pump that promises security even during power outages. This three-pump system also automatically adjusts to meet pumping needs. By also repairing floor cracks, by backfilling them with stone and covering it with fresh concrete, we can further protect your below-grade space from water damage. Cracked concrete basement floor slabs are porous, meaning water can seep through, exacerbating the crack and leading to further structural damage.

This homeowner had a sump pump in the garage to keep the space dry when water would come in during times of heavy rain. It was a sump pump not designed well enough to function after long-term use and maintenance. The water was starting to overflow from the sump, causing a serious water issue. They called us at Lowcountry Foundation Repair to see what could be done to fix the issue. Our team installed "The King" of sump pumps, called the TripleSafe sump pump, and installed a perimeter drainage system that would lead all of the water entering the garage into the sump pump, finally keeping the space dry as it should be.

This open basement in Hilton Head Island, SC had water seeping into the basement when it would rain, and the relatively high humidity levels known to the Hilton Head area were coming in the openings. The invading moisture caused mold growth on the subfloor & joists, decreasing the air quality of the living space above. Our team was able to help solve the issue by installing a WaterGaurd drainage system to capture the water and a TripleSafe sump pump to pump it out of the basement. The walls and openings to outside air were sealed with Foamax wall and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was also installed to monitor and control the humidity level of the air down to a safe 55% relative humidity, stopping mold growth and protecting the floor from wood rot.

To prevent water from pooling on the concrete pool deck patio, which can lead to safety hazards and damage, we installed a trench drain to effectively manage and redirect water away from the area.
