Dingy, Damp Crawl Space
Despite its small size, this crawl space was musty and problematic.
Water Damage Where Walls Meet Floor
Staining from standing water is evident on the floor and also up the walls - which says that there has been considerable accumulation in the past.
Signs of Basement Flooding
The staining on this basement floor is a major sign of water damage, as water comes up through the floor and leaves behind dissolved salts it picked up on the way through (efflourescence).
Crawl Space Encapsulation
No crawl space is too small to cause problems - that was the case here, where even though the space was tiny, it was still managing to acquire and spread that moldy crawl space smell. We used CleanSpace vapor barrier and SilverGlo insulation panels to insulate and encapsulate the space.
WaterGuard Installation in Cluttered Basement
It isn't necessary to clear out your basement for the work to be done - as long as we can get everything a few feet away from the walls, we have enough room to work. And we'll cover up your belongings to make sure they don't get dusty during the jackhammering process.
Securing WaterGuard
Once everything is in place, the WaterGuard is secured in preparation of new concrete being poured.
Drainage Stone Helps Water Disperse
Drainage stone helps the water disperse more evenly rather than overwhelming the system, which is tied right into the TripleSafe sump pump.
TripleSafe Evacuates Water Quickly
With three powerful motors and a battery backup, the TripleSafe will keep the basement dry, even when the power goes out.
Discharge Line Keeps Water at Bay
By extending the discharge line away from the house and working with the grade of the lawn, we can make sure water doesn't just run right back into the foundation.
Buried Discharge Line
The Lawnscape outlet (foreground) allows us to bury the discharge line without risking it getting clogged by debris. This prevents trip hazards and landscaping nightmares, as well as eliminates the eyesore of the line.
