Basement waterproofing for a growing family

Sean's Syracuse home had a hidden wet basement problem. Most of the time the house didn't have any water in their basement but during storms, water would come in. At first, they had leaky basement walls, but now the problem has seemed to get worse.

Plus the family had another problem. As their children got older the toys got bigger and their house was bursting at the seams. Sean and his wife agreed they loved their Onondaga County home but they needed more space. They actually considered selling, but with the housing market right now they didn't find anything they both agreed on. Their plan was to use the space right underneath their feet, their basement.
 
Step one was to fix the water. Sean always had dreams of turning his basement into a man cave. He knew in order for that to happen he had to make sure everything was dry. Plus they had years of memories that they didn't want to get damaged.

Our crews installed our wet basement solution called Waterguard. Waterguard is a basement waterproofing system built to get water out of the home. First, Waterguard captures the water them moves that water to our sump pump system.

Sean and his wife decided to install a Sanidry dehumidifier & air system. Our SaniDry Sedona is the world's most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system. Now the air throughout the entire home is fresher and filtered. Now Sean and his wife have a bunch of extra dry usable space. Maybe Sean can finally get that man cave he wanted.
