Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Water Intrusion Solved in Belden, MS

Persistent Basement Leaks Identified After Years of Frustration Angela M. of Belden, MS had been battling persistent water intrusion through her basement walls—an issue that worsened every time the ground became saturated after repeated storms. Despite reaching out to multiple companies, no one showed up to help until our team arrived. During the inspection, we confirmed active wall leaks, damp carpeted areas, and uneven concrete flooring. Because the home’s footer was not visible, we recommended a two-stage waterproofing plan to ensure full protection once the crew exposed the area. Two-Stage Waterproofing System Installed to Stop Interior Wall Leaks To control the wall seepage, we installed DryTrak along both ends of the basement, including the bathroom, bar area, and the opposite wall up to the staircase. We advised that extending the system under the stairs would be ideal for long-term resilience, though the homeowner elected to maintain her existing generator setup and declined an upgraded triple sump. Once installation began, the crew uncovered an unexpected secondary wall made of foam and metal studs hidden behind the drywall, along with concrete thicker than anticipated—both requiring additional demolition before proceeding. Despite these challenges, the installation remained straightforward and was completed successfully. Proven Waterproofing Methods Deliver Lasting Protection By diagnosing the true source of the leaks and choosing a basement-specific drainage system designed for wall seepage, this project demonstrates the importance of proper inspection, adaptable installation planning, and industry-proven waterproofing methods. DryTrak allowed the system to be installed without jackhammering along the edges of the floor, making it an ideal solution for homes with thick or variable concrete. The result was a clean, reliable water-management system built to withstand future storm saturation and protect the homeowner’s basement for years to come.
