This concrete pool area in Dayton, KY, had slabs that had settled over time. This is common for pool areas, due to the amount of water that can splash out of the pool. The slabs had also created tripping hazards, which can be especially dangerous near a wet poolside. You may also notice that the control joints between the slabs had broken down over time, which was allowing ever more water to infiltrate the soil beneath the slabs. We repaired the concrete by injecting the slabs with our PolyLevel foam, then sealing the control joints back up with our elastic NexusPro sealant. The result is a stable, safe, pretty poolside transformation.
A homeowner in Dayton, KY was dealing with water seeping into one side of their basement during heavy rains. The dampness was beginning to cause musty odors and threaten stored belongings, so they needed a targeted solution that would stop the problem without overhauling the entire basement.
Our team installed a partial WaterGuard® sub-floor drainage system along the affected area to capture incoming water at the foundation’s edge and direct it to a newly installed TripleSafe® sump pump system. The TripleSafe offers three levels of pumping protection — including a battery backup — to keep the basement dry even during power outages or extreme storms.
With this partial system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing that their basement is protected where it matters most.
