Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner called with water coming into his basement even with a sump pump he installed. We installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, our BrightWall Basement Wall System, and the WaterGuard Drainage System!

Part of keeping your crawl space dry involves a sump pump. The state-of-the-art SmartSump is designed just for crawl spaces. The liner and lid are designed to form a tight seal around the CleanSpace liner.  Since you don't go into your crawl space often, you need to know if there is a plumbing leak. The SmartSump has a unique lid design so water from a plumbing leak fills an alarm pocket on the lid first, sounding a WaterWatch alarm. From there, the water flows down a special airtight floor drain that lets water down, but damp air cannot come up into your crawl space. The alarm also alerts you to pump or power failures. 

This farmhouse in Humphrey was holding water in the basement. Our Design Specialist, Jack, inspected the basement and presented the homeowners with a solution to their problem. Our production team installed the Two Stage Waterproofing System, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, and the CleanSpace Wall System. The basement will stay dry and usable for these homeowners!

The dimples allow better conductivity for water to get to the perimeter drainage or sump pump located in the lowest spot of the crawl space. 

Most times, water in the crawl space gets there one of three ways: a plumbing leak, water seepage from the surrounding soil (usually after heavy rain), or condensation. Humidity condenses on cold surfaces, like ducts, and drips onto the crawl space floor.

Puddles of water in the crawl space aren’t good, but the water itself won’t ruin your home. It’s the water vapor (or moisture) that causes rot, mold, energy loss, and attracts pests. And these problems don’t just stay in your crawl space. As much as 50% of the air upstairs comes from below - this means mold spores, musty smells, and humid air that dust mites love.
