Photo Album: Water Leaking into Basement - Portland, OR
This homes basement had struggled with water leaks for years. To combat this they had been applying a waterproof paint, and repainting every few years to keep things sealed up. However, water kept coming back and was pushing up against the paint, bubbling from water around the windows and in a few other places along the foundation walls. To solve this homes water issues we installed a full perimeter WaterGuard drain system, TripleSafe sump pump, BrightWall panels, and a SaniDry dehumidifier.

'Waterproof' Paint
Waterproof paint is just a temporary solution that gets pushed out of place from the water pressure behind it
Drainage System
A trench was dug to install the WaterGuard drainage system
BrightWall Paneling
Brightwall paneling was installed on the walls to guide water moisture from the foundation wall down into the drain system.
