This homeowner in Feeding Hills, MA called us after a heavy rainstorm that lasted for multiple days. They had water in their finished basement that was saturating the walls, and they believed that about 2/3 of the room was wet. This issue had only happened one other time, while the house was under construction, so the homeowner was very concerned. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, the homeowner was still trying to dry the area with fans. The Home Comfort Specialist noted that the water was coming in through the basement windows after pooling in the window wells. The drywall was soggy and damaged, and the carpet was saturated as well. The homeowner wanted to replace these.
We were able to help this customer with our Everlast™ Finished Wall Restoration panels! Everlast's half wall panels are 197% stronger than drywall and stud construction. They are a durable, dent-resistant option for a basement. However, the part that was important to this customer was that they are resistant to water damage and will not support mold growth. Combined with our other solutions, this homeowner is no longer concerned about water damaging their basement walls and floor!
