Completion date: August 4, 2006

Location: Indianapolis, IN

Solutions provided:

The installation team completed the installation of 130 linear feet of the AkwaGuard basement interior drainage system along the foundation perimeter to effectively intercept groundwater intrusion and relieve hydrostatic pressure before water can enter the basement. The system was carefully installed at the footing level within a perimeter trench to ensure consistent water collection and proper flow toward the sump location. To manage the collected water, one SuperSump sump station was installed to efficiently pump and discharge water away from the home through a dedicated exterior discharge line. In addition, one IceGuard discharge line protection system was installed on the exterior to help prevent backups in the event the discharge line becomes frozen or obstructed during colder weather conditions, providing added year-round protection. To address structural concerns, ten (10) carbon fiber reinforcement straps were installed along the bowing foundation wall to stabilize the affected area and help prevent further inward movement. Each strap was professionally adhered to the wall using high-strength structural epoxy and positioned to provide uniform reinforcement across the compromised section. This reinforcement system helps resist lateral soil pressure while providing a low-profile, permanent stabilization solution. Together, these improvements provide comprehensive waterproofing, moisture control, and structural reinforcement for long-term basement protection.
