Rebuilding a Failing Bellmawr Basement Wall
Starting the new year with a strong foundation is important—especially when it comes to your home. In Bellmawr, one homeowner faced a serious issue: a failing basement wall. Left unaddressed, this could lead to structural instability, water intrusion, and costly damage. To restore the home’s safety and keep the basement dry, a full waterproofing and foundation repair plan was necessary.
The Challenge: A Basement Wall in Trouble
Basement walls are meant to provide stability, but over time, pressure from soil, water, and shifting foundations can cause them to weaken. This home’s basement wall showed clear signs of failure, putting the structure at risk. The drainage system was also outdated, increasing the likelihood of water problems. A lasting solution required both structural reinforcement and improved waterproofing.
Our Solution: A Stronger, Drier Basement
To protect the home and prevent future issues, we took a comprehensive approach:
- Excavation & Wall Rebuild: First, we excavated the damaged area, carefully removed the failing wall, and rebuilt it stronger than before.
- Updated Drain System & Sump Pump: A modern drainage system was installed to move water away from the foundation, preventing buildup and leaks. A heavy-duty sump pump ensures any excess water gets pumped out efficiently.
- White Basement Wall Coating: Finally, for extra protection, we applied a white waterproof coating to the basement walls. This not only seals out moisture but also brightens the space and prevents mold growth.
The Results: A Stable, Waterproofed Basement in Bellmawr
With a rebuilt foundation wall and a top-tier waterproofing system in place, this Bellmawr home now stays strong, dry, and secure. The homeowner gains peace of mind knowing their basement is reinforced and protected against future water issues.
