A homeowner in Birmingham's Altadena Woods neighborhood contacted H2O Waterproofing after noticing a basement moisture problem that had continued to get worse. The home was built in 1990, and the moisture was concentrated along the front side of the house.
During our inspection, we found that grading around the home was contributing to hydrostatic pressure, which was forcing groundwater through the basement wall-floor joint.
H2O Waterproofing installed a complete interior basement waterproofing system designed to capture and manage the water intrusion.
Work completed:
- 47 linear feet of H2O Interior Basement Waterproofing System
- 215 sq. ft. of H2O Flex-Seal 12-mil foundation wall vapor barrier
- 160 sq. ft. of H2O Rigid Durawall waterproofing panels
- H2O sump pump ejector system with sealed basin and 3/4 HP pump
- New discharge system
The project was completed in 3 days and is backed by H2O's non-expiring, fully transferable lifetime warranty where applicable to the installed waterproofing system.
