This crawl space had a sump pump previously installed, but it couldn’t keep up with the amount of water the crawl space was taking on. The company that had installed it also didn't place it properly thus no water was flowing to it and was just gathering in areas around it. we installed our top of the line TripleSafe sump pump and CleanSpace Encapsulation. The pump was placed properly along with additional drainage to ensure the water will be going to the pump that is powerful enough to keep up with the amount of water coming in. The CleanSpace Barrier will ensure no water or moisture seeps back into the crawl space.
The owner of this property had reached out to John's Waterproofing in 2018 about water coming into their basement. They thought the problem would be able to go away on its own and decided to cancel the basement waterproofing scheduled. In 2023, they reached out again about the same issue but still weren't ready to commit doing the project with the hopes it would once again dry up and go away. After contacting John's Waterproofing a third time in 2024, they decided to do the basement waterproofing as the issue persisted each year during rainy seasons. Now with the basement having a significant amount of water damage, we suggested installing a drainage system. This involves installing a perforated pipe along the interior perimeter of the basement that can collect and push water to a TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump is designed to safely collect water and push it away from a homes foundation, thus protecting against floods or moisture damage. To protect the foundation walls, the CleanSpace wall system is installed. This is a 20 mil thick woven vapor barrier that is designed to seal the basement walls and prevent water from seeping in. After completing the basement waterproofing, the owner was impressed and could see the difference in their newly dry basement.
A trench was dug in this basement to direct the water to the pump.
When you pair brightwall with our waterproofing system you get a nice dry looking basement!
Our service team came out to do a service on this homeowners WaterGuard system. They decided that they wanted to upgrade their system and wondered if there was anything we could do to make the basement warmer. Now that it was dry they wanted to spend more time in there but it was still pretty chilly. We suggested our ThermalDry wall system that acts as an insulation and reflects heat back into the basement. Now they have a dry and warm basement for years to come!
