A home in Rogersville needed a bedroom, and a cure for an extremely wet basement. An outdoor patio roof was removed to allow for a large addition that contained a big bedroom and a bathroom.
The water problem was controlled in a two prong approach. First, two large outdoor flower garden
planters were suspected to be the culprits catching run-off water from
the driveway and holding it against the side of the house until it had time to seep through the wall and into the basement.These were replaced with a new concrete walk that made it much easier to get onto the front porch as well as preventing any water to seep through the foundation.
Inside the house, a trough was created around the perimeter to control any water that might get in if the outside effort didn't catch it. The trough terminated at a drain.
In addition, a dehumidifier was installed to remove moisture and drain it into the drain also.
