Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

This house had two separate crawlspaces and on one of the crawlspaces water had been leaking and had standing water. The homeowner attempted to install their own sump pump to try and drain the standing water out and fix the problem. Much to their efforts they still had standing water and the pump wouldn't drain properly. The homeowner gave us a call to come out and see what we could do to fix the sump pump and get their crawlspace dry and healthy. We replaced their sump pump install and installed our Smart sump pump. The SmartSump is designed for crawlspaces and allows easy access, it is an airtight fitted pump that doesn't cause bunching in the vapor barrier. These homeowners were relieved to finally have a properly installed sump pump that took care of the standing water and drained it out away from the house. 

The low point was in their driveway, and they wanted something to help prevent it from going into their home. The previous owner had a trench drain installed, but it wasn't deep enough, so the water was flooding out of the drain. So we pulled out the old one and dug it out so it would be 12in x 12in. Giving the water enough space to drain without causing any damage to the garage or home. 

No homeowner wants to experience water intrusion. It can cause all kinds of issues to the home like mold growth, wood rot, and even impact the structural integrity of the home. At John's Waterproofing, we take pride in ensuring water can't get into basements by installing a proper drainage system that keeps water out. This involves installing a SuperSump Plus sump pump and WaterGuard drainage pipe. The WaterGuard system gets installed first by jackhammering a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. It is lined with gravel so that water can easily filter through and help to prevent clogging. The purpose of this system is so it can collect water that tries to enter and act as a safe passageway to the SuperSump Plus sump pump. This sump pump is what takes all that collected water and can securely push it out and away from the homes foundation. It is designed with a heavy duty Zoeller pump so that it is capable of controlling mass amounts of water at a time. With these two systems installed, we can ensure that the basement will stay dry and healthy all year round. 

This owner knew she had some water on her vapor barrier and called us to come replace it and install a sump pump to stop it from happening again. 

The customer wanted a solution to water puddling in the basement and to finish the walls. Giving the family reassurance that the basement would be livable and dry, we installed the UltraSump Pump and the WaterGuard System. To give the walls a finished look, we used the Everlast Wall panels.
