This home had a small basement with a crawlspace next to it on a slope. The basement had been waterproofed and finished, however, a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier and store-bought sump pump had been used. However this could not keep up with the water demands, and the sump pump had been installed on the wrong side, not where the lowest point was set. To fix this space and protect the home, a full encapsulation was installed.
The couple had had their crawl space encapsulated back in 2008. So they called to have it checked due to hearing weird noises. Michael, our service tech found that the Sump Pump was full of mud, and sediments were lodged in the pipes preventing the water to be discharged out of the crawl space causing slight flooding of the pump. Giving us a perfect example of why yearly check-ups are recommended.
Customer called that they have a finished basement that seemed sealed well but had water pouring down one side. We installed our patented WaterGuard system and a super sump. We demoed a whole wall and installed ThermalDry wall with Everlast Wall.
This home had an older sump pump in the basement. For the most part it would keep water from pooling on the floor. However when heavy rains hit, the system just couldn't keep up. When that happened the homeowners would clear the spots in the basement that would hold water and they would squeegee the floor and turn on a few fans. After dealing with this issue for a few years they wanted to look into some other options. After a full inspection, we suggested a TripleSafe sump pump with a WaterGuard drainage system and SaniDry Dehumidifier. Now the space stays dry and healthy no matter what the rainfall looks like.
