Hurricane Ida was a deadly and destructive Category 4 Atlantic hurricane. Ida became the 2nd most damaging and intense hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. A homeowner in Hummelstown, PA contacted our office after clicking an online ad for Basement Waterproofing. Hummelstown is in Dauphin County, PA. This area was hit with heavy rainfall causing roads and homes to be flooded, downed trees, and power outages. Unfortunately, this customer's basement fell victim to the aftermath water damage from Hurricane Ida. 

After scheduling a free in-home estimate, Inspector Tyler Holcombe went to evaluate the customers basement. During the assessment, the customer explained to Tyler that Hurricane Ida caused his semi-finished basement to flood. This resulted in a lot of water damage, and needed a waterproofing system installed before they could move forward with refinishing their basement. Once Tyler was finished with the inspection, he knew exactly what this homeowner needed to create a clean, dry, and safe space for his family.

The most effective and reliable way to solve this wet basement problem is to install WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, TrenchDrain Surface Drainage System, and an Exterior Discharge Line to safely carry the water away from the home. WaterGuard will collect water at the perimeter of the basement and unseen safely drain it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. TrenchDrain will prevent water from entering the basement by the doorway and will flow through the WaterGuard and into the Sump Pump. Once the water is collected in to the TripleSafe, it will then be pumped out of the home at a safe distance through the Exterior Discharge Line. 

To achieve a finished basement look, Tyler decided that installing the EverLast Basement Wall System would do just that! EverLast wall panels are mold proof, washable, and have a vinyl finish. They come in the 2 most popular colors for when finishing basement walls, white and beige. Without a doubt, this customer will not only have a dry, clean, and healthy basement, but will also have a beautiful finish to complete the look!
