Photo Album: Wet Basement and Failing Foundation Walls in Lebanon, PA

Our website was found by a Lebanon, PA homeowner searching for a reputable basement waterproofing company. Having read reviews from satisfied customers, they decided to contact us after realizing our work in the past was relevant to their situation. Our appointment center scheduled a free waterproofing estimate for basement waterproofing expert Tom B. to provide a full assessment and permanent solution. A crack in the foundation wall and a bowing inward were causing the homeowners concern. They also had a water intrusion problem that caused mold and musty odors. After identifying the areas of concern, Tom proposed a comprehensive waterproofing solution. Tom decided the most effective and non-invasive solution to solve the foundation wall problem was to install CarbonArmor Straps for permanent stabilization. CarbonArmor permanently stabilizes the foundation walls of your home. We use fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) that are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to fit snugly against your basement walls. CarbonArmor is fast, non-invasive, and ideal for stabilizing bowing, leaning walls quickly and easily with ArmorLock brackets that bind and secure CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists. Tom recommended installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier over the basement walls to stop water from leaking in. Water will be captured by a perimeter drainage system (WaterGuard) and drained to a TripleSafe sump pump system. Water is then removed from the house through an exterior discharge line that is installed in a location where it cannot reenter the basement. Having heard Tom explain the installation process, detailed information about the products that would be used, and the advantages of using them, they were eager to get started. Upon completion of the basement, the customer was extremely satisfied. With the help and expertise of our highly-trained waterproofing crew, a failing foundation wall or a wet basement are no longer a concern.

Foundation Soil

The active zone in the soil around your home's foundation is the area that is affected by moisture and climate change, causing soil to expand and contract. These soil movements can severely impact your foundation, causing bowing walls, wall and floor cracks, and lessening stability.

Cracked and Bowing Foundation Wall

Natural forces, like moisture and frost, expand the soil around your home. Due to that expansion, your foundation wall is constantly being pushed inward until it can't handle it anymore, causing cracking, bowing, and tipping.

The CarbonArmor System

With a high-quality epoxy resin, CarbonArmor straps are bonded to the wall's interior surface and anchored to the joists. As a result of the straps, the wall will be stabilized. No excavation is required on the exterior, the system installs quickly, and future basement finishing will not be affected by the installation.

Installation Process

For permanent stabilization, the CarbonArmor System is installed on the foundation wall. WaterGuard Drainage System was installed by digging a trench around the perimeter of the basement. CleanSpace Vapor Barrier prevents water from leaking through the walls. Prior to concrete sealing, the TripleSafe Sump Pump is placed.

Interior Drainage System

With a written lifetime warranty, WaterGuard collects water from basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. It installs quickly and has a clean finish. Whether you have block walls or poured concrete, WaterGuard will keep your basement dry.

CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System

Preventing leaks and mold growth is essential for any basement. Given the naturally damp environment of a basement, installing a vapor barrier on a wall is essential for protecting the room.

TripleSafe Sump Pump Installation

When you choose us to install your sump pump, you can count on experienced and knowledgeable waterproofers who install sump pumps and basement waterproofing systems every day.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

The TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind.

IceGuard

Water flows as usual when the main line is working. When the drain pipe is frozen, IceGuard allows water to escape through slotted openings. As a result, any water your sump pump removes from your basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing a backed up or frozen line.
