Photo Album: Perimeter Drainage System Solved Wet Basement Issue in Scranton, PA
Liberty Basement Systems, Experts at Basement Waterproofing, was contacted by a homeowner in Scranton, PA when they noticed their basement walls were damp and the paneling walls were bowed. After scheduling their free basement repair inspection and quote, basement waterproofing specialist, Jen G. thoroughly evaluated the water problem and provided the customer with a permanent solution.
Having received other quotes, the customer considered Liberty Basement Systems to be the most qualified. Jen discovered that water was leaking into the basement through the foundation walls. This caused the paneling on the basement walls to become wet and bow. After our waterproofing specialist built a custom solution to permanently resolve this homeowner's wet basement problem, they were eager to have a dry, healthy basement.
WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System, TrenchDrain, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System with an Exterior Buried Discharge Line were determined to be the best permanent solution for collecting leaks coming through basement walls, removing water from the basement, and creating a dry, healthy space.
As a result of Liberty Basement Systems' solution to fix their wet basement problem and ensure that it stays dry permanently, the customer is very satisfied. They have given Liberty Basement Systems their full recommendation.
