This homeowner previously had a water drainage system installed in her basement, but she was concerned with her current sump pump and its reliability. She knew that we had sump pump options that her parents had used, so she gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Todd King to inspect the older sump pump, determine if it was reliable, then determine what steps to take after the inspection. Todd found that the older sump pump did not have a battery backup, and that this would be problematic if her power ever went out. He also found that the sump pump's age had started to effect it's efficiency. Todd determined that the homeowner could use a new sump pump and the homeowner agreed. Our team came and installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System that has 3 pumps and a battery backup.
The homeowner was very happy with the work that was done. She now feels secure in her home and knows that she is protected against water damage in a power outage. Check out her new sump pump system!
Our customer called us with concerns about a cold, damp draft above the crawlspace in their home. To address the issue, we installed CleanSpace with a SmartDrain system.
The SmartDrain System is an advanced drainage system designed specifically for crawl spaces. It consists of a meticulously engineered bottomless liner that is complemented by an airtight lid. This intelligent system serves as a safeguard against plumbing mishaps or unexpected water intrusion by swiftly channeling the water away from the crawl space.
During the installation process, we meticulously create a dedicated drywell that houses the SmartDrain system. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, we surround the drain with a carefully selected bed of clean drainage stone. This strategic arrangement effectively isolates the drain from the surrounding soil, significantly reducing the risk of clogs and obstructions.
What sets the SmartDrain system apart is its ingenious ball-and-cup drain mechanism. As soon as water enters the cup, the buoyant ball effortlessly floats, triggering the opening of the drain to allow for immediate water evacuation. Once the water subsides, the ball seamlessly reseals the drain, effectively maintaining an impermeable barrier. Additionally, the SmartDrain system features an integrated WaterWatch® Alarm that promptly alerts homeowners in the event of water detection, ensuring swift action can be taken.
The advantages of our comprehensive solution are numerous. The SmartDrain system comes with a meticulously engineered airtight lid that seamlessly integrates with our overall crawl space system, ensuring optimal performance. With the inclusion of a reliable flood alarm system, homeowners gain an extra layer of protection and peace of mind. The ball-and-cup drain design operates flawlessly within its bed of clean drainage stone, maximizing efficiency while minimizing the potential for blockages. For added convenience, the SmartDrain system can also be integrated with optional home alarm systems, allowing for comprehensive monitoring and control.
By implementing CleanSpace alongside the SmartDrain system, we effectively mitigate the issue of cold dampness in the area above the crawl space. This advanced solution not only promotes superior moisture control but also creates a more inviting and comfortable living environment for homeowners.
Having a proper drainage system is the best way to protect your home from flooding and other water problems. We offer an easy and hidden solution to help prevent these problems. This customer was able to get just that!
This homeowner was concerned with their crawlspace foundation wall, which was gradually tipping in from the top due to street creep pushing the garage slab into the back foundation wall. This situation created many risks, including potential harm to the structural integrity of the garage and the homeowner's peace of mind. To solve this problem, we installed wall anchors to ensure their stability and prevent any further deterioration of the walls. Additionally, we installed CompressionGuards to reduce the damage caused by street creep and stop any future issues. Our approach ensured that the homeowner could rest easy, knowing their garage was secure and their house's resale value would not be compromised.
This home had water problems after water problems. First, water was shooting into the basement from a window underneath the home's front step. And on top of that, the discharge line broke and was pooling water in an area where water was discharging out but coming right back in. We installed a vapor barrier, trench drain, and lateral system to fix this issue.
