Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

This small crawlspace is the side of this home that is built into a hillside. It had a lot of drainage issues and the homeowners had tried to do a DIY Sump Pump to waterproof, however, this ended up clogged with mud and the plastic sheets they had put over the dirt floor were cased with mud. To take control over the water, they called Johns for a full encapsulation; perforated pipes along the interior perimeter, Dimpled Drainage matting, TerraBlock insulation, SuperSump, UltraSump back up, SmartJacks for stability, CleanSpace, a SaniDry Sedona, Spray Foam, new vent covers, and an EverLast Doorway.  

This homeowners DIY sump pump couldn't keep up with the homes water issues, and they were using a shop vacuum to clear the pump to keep it running. They knew a long term solution was needed to keep their home dry and healthy. They turned to John's Waterproofing had had a full drainage system and TripleSafe Sump Pump with a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this space truly dry and healthy. 

This homeowner had a previous company come and install a sump pump in their crawl space. It began overfilling, unable to control the passage of water, and the crawl space started to flood. They called John's Waterproofing about getting their sump pump replaced and finding a long-term option for keeping water out of the crawl space. We informed them about our TripleSafe sump pump being the perfect solution to their problem. The TripleSafe sump pump is a three-pump system designed to be able to safely collect gallons of water and push it out and away from the homes foundation. We install it in a 22 in. deep trench at the lowest point in the crawl space so that water collected from a perforated pipe can be securely guided to the sump pump. The pipe goes inside the container bin to ensure the water gets exactly where the pump needs it to be. The first pump is a high quality 1/3 hp Zoeller pump that has a sensor so whenever water gets to a certain point, it knows to begin sending it out through the discharge line. The second pump is a 1/2 hp Zoeller pump that's set higher in the sump hold. It turns on in the event that the first pump can't keep up with the high volume of water. This is one reason for how our sump pumps differ from others, because there are two pumps which work together to ensure no water gets back into the crawl space. The final pump is a battery operated pump in case of a power outage. Ensuring that no matter the circumstance, your sump pump will be able to still pump water out. We also schedule annual maintenance checks on our TripleSafe sump pumps so that homeowners feel comfortable that it won't fail. Overall, at John's Waterproofing we want to keep crawl spaces as dry and healthy as possible and that begins with a proper way to dispel the water.

This crawl space had some post issues, debris, and moisture. Our team was able to go and do a full encapsulation with our CleanSpace that is a woven anti-microbial material. Now, this crawl space has posts that are protected and there are no more moisture issues which results in cleaner air going into the customer's home.

This home's sump pump had been improperly installed by another company years ago and could not handle the water that was coming into the basement. They had lived with this for years but began to notice they had parts of the wooden foundation rotting. They were ready for the job to be done right to accommodate their water levels. We installed a WaterGaurd drainage system, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and BrightWall paneling.
