Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Flooded Playroom in a Marshall, MI Basement

Our customer called when the playroom in their finished basement flooded. They were in the process of pulling up carpet and didn't want to ever have to deal with water issues again. We installed WaterGuard below-floor drain and tied it into the existing sump pump and used the CleanSpace wall system to prevent water from coming in through the walls and instead routed it to the WaterGuard. Once waterproofing was in place, we restored the portion of the wall we had to cut and installed Mill Creek plank flooring to refinish the floor with added waterproofing protection.

Flooded Area of Basement

This house had an addition put on it in the 90s and was completely redone again in the past ten years, so it isn't out of the question for one of the areas to develop water problems. The customer pulled up the carpet himself after the area flooded.

Sump Pump in Basement

With such a large basement, water can need some help getting to the sump pump, especially when there might be more than one low area in the basement. The sump pump was working just fine, but there was no route for the water to take to it.

Finished Basement Flooded

When a finished basement floods, there are extra layers of headache - and cost. Many people use traditional finishing materials, which aren't waterproof, and these can get ruined easily.

Mill Creek Plank Flooring Gives Hardwood Look

Our Mill Creek flooring gives the look of hardwood with all of the benefits of waterproofing. It's also inorganic, which means you don't have to worry about mold.

Restoring Walls

After the WaterGuard system is in place, we can help you choose the best option to restore your walls.

Cross-Tile Ensures Water Removal

Sometimes the fastest way around is through. That's the case here, where after installing a perimeter system, we also put down cross tile to take the water right to the sump pump in the other room.
