Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Life in Christ Church Waterproofed and Repaired in Bridgeton.

Dry Guys tackled the Life in Christ Ministries Church with a project that tested the skills of all our team members. The Bridgeton NJ church required the use of our sump pumps, drainage system, and support bracing and piers, which took two weeks and an extra crew to complete. It's not often that we tackle projects of this magnitude, but it's nothing we couldn't handle.

Classroom Hallway Prior to Demolition

Pay attention to this picture. This exact angle will be shown a few times here during the length of the project. I believe this shows the best representation of how much the space changes.

Classroom Hallway Prior to Demolition 2

In the next picture, you will see what this space looks like with the walls and door removed from the space. Behind each door is a spacious classroom, each wet from groundwater seepage which has left a very must and unpleasant smell. Members of our team experienced stuffy noses and sneezing after a short time. Years of water intrusion had damaged the overall air quality throughout the church.

Classroom Hallway With TripleSafe

Here is that hallway again with our pump now installed.

Window Wells Prior to Thier Installation

This line of windows all lead to the downstairs classrooms. Once replaced, the space will be more energy efficient and will provide daytime light.

PowerBraces 2

Our braces are mounted and concreted into the floor to provide a strong and permanent fix.

The New TripleSafe

With the old pump pull, our TripleSafe System takes sump pumps to the next level. With 3 pumps and a battery backup unit, and a full perimeter system in place, water will no longer be around long enough to cause further damage.

Window Wells During the Install

At this point, the old window wells have been dug up and the new well we're put into place.

Completed WIndow Wells

Here are the window wells fully installed and the area cleaned up.

Old Sump Pump

Here is a closer look at that same pump.

After Demolition

With the walls removed, our team will have an easier time navigating and moving products and debris

Wet Class Room Before Demolition

This room, as well as many others, is scheduled for demolition, leaving only the foundation walls. The pump that can be seen in the corner will be replaced with our Triple Safe Sump pump System.

After Demolition 2

Here is another angle of the space. With all the walls torn down, it makes a pretty big difference.

PowerBrace Support Beams

Our PowerBrace System was installed towards the front of the building. A horizontal crack threatened the structure with bowing walls. Our PowerBrace System is made to freeze the wall in place. Over time, the wall can be put back into its original position.
