Basement Waterproofing and Sump Pump Udpgrade in Witherbee, New York | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
A homeowner in Witherbee, New York, was dealing with water in the basement and an older sump pump setup that was no longer giving them confidence. Water had collected across sections of the concrete floor, and the basement showed clear signs that moisture was a recurring issue. The homeowner needed a better way to collect, control, and discharge the water before it continued to affect the basement. Northern Basement Systems inspected the basement to identify where water was entering and how it was moving through the space. The existing sump pump was located in an open pit-style setup and did not provide the level of protection the homeowner needed. The inspection also identified wall seepage and water collecting on the floor, making a full interior waterproofing approach the best fit for the home.
Solution
The crew installed a basement waterproofing system designed to capture water from floor and wall areas and direct it to a more reliable sump pump. CleanSpace® was installed along the basement walls to help guide wall seepage into the drainage system while improving the overall look of the space. The older sump setup was replaced with a TripleSafe™ sump pump system for stronger, more reliable water removal.
Products Installed
- TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System: A three-pump sump system designed to provide dependable basement waterproofing protection, including added pumping capacity and backup protection.
- CleanSpace® Wall System: A durable wall liner that helps direct water seepage into the basement drainage system while giving the basement a brighter, cleaner appearance.
- Interior Basement Drainage System: Installed to collect water from the basement perimeter and direct it to the sump system before it can spread across the floor.
The basement now has a much stronger waterproofing setup than the older sump pump arrangement. Water is directed into the drainage system and pumped away through the TripleSafe™ system, while the CleanSpace® wall system gives the basement a cleaner finished look. The homeowner can now feel better prepared for wet weather and heavy rain. This Witherbee, NY, basement waterproofing project shows how replacing an older sump pump and adding a full interior waterproofing system can make a major difference. With the new drainage system, CleanSpace® wall system, and TripleSafe™ sump pump system in place, the basement is cleaner, more reliable, and better protected.
