Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Exterior Waterproofing Project Solves Water Problems in Wilmington, NC

A Wilmington, NC homeowner contacted our office seeking help with a water intrusion issue in their two-car garage. Upon inspection, we identified water seeping into the space and determined that an exterior waterproofing solution was necessary. To address the problem, we installed a French drain system around the exterior to redirect water away from the foundation. In front of the garage, we added a TrenchDrain system to capture surface water and prevent it from entering. Additionally, we installed a high-quality sump pump system to manage any water that might accumulate. The French drain consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, which allows water to flow into the pipe and away from the property. The TrenchDrain acts as a barrier at the garage entrance, collecting water and directing it into the drainage system. The sump pump ensures that any collected water is efficiently removed, preventing future water damage. These systems work together to provide a permanent solution, successfully resolving the homeowner’s water intrusion issues and protecting their garage from further damage.
