This Iowa homeowner found Dry Basement® after seeing one of our TV ads and reached out at the end of summer.
For years, she had battled water intrusion through the wall–floor joint and multiple cracks in the basement walls. After many failed DIY fixes, the final breaking point came when she spent eight straight hours Shop-Vac’ing water out of the basement overnight.
During the inspection, Evan identified the root causes:
Water entering through the cove joint
Cracks allowing seepage
Years of recurring moisture problems
Increasing hydrostatic pressure around the foundation
Without a professional solution, this recurring water problem would have continued to worsen and risk structural damage.
Dry Basement® recommended a comprehensive system designed to stop water at the source and prevent pressure buildup around the foundation.
We installed the following:
Our crew installed the NoWater® System beneath the basement floor to channel rising groundwater directly to the sump basin, reducing hydrostatic pressure before it can affect the walls.
To guarantee reliable water removal, especially during storms or power outages, we installed the Dual Pump Pack® System with a full battery backup.
All wall cracks were filled and sealed.
Weep holes were drilled at the base of the wall to relieve trapped water and direct it into the drainage system.
A vapor barrier membrane was installed along the walls to prevent future moisture intrusion and protect the finished surface.
Once the system was complete, concrete was resurfaced, the work area was cleaned thoroughly, and the basement was left in pristine condition.
Thanks to these upgrades, water can no longer rise around the foundation and cause hydrostatic pressure issues: the system drains it away safely before that can happen.
This project was completed in early fall. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and immediately referred us to her neighbors, who also hired Dry Basement® to solve their own water issues.
