Basement Water Guard Project

Challenge

Customer called James directly due to an emergency in the basement. When James arrives suitcases and boxes were floating in about 4 to 5 inches of water. The ground water seeped into the lower basement and resulted into Hydrostatic pressure causing the flood. There was not a drainage system in the basement and no where for the water to go. The house was two story and built in the 1920s. It was a rental property as well. And needed to get taken care of immediately.
