To prevent flooding, we installed an exterior French drain system connected to buried downspouts. We dug a trench around the perimeter and placed a perforated pipe on a gravel bed. The downspouts were directed into the drain, and the trench was backfilled with gravel and soil. This system effectively diverts water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of flooding.
We tied the exterior French drain system and buried downspouts into a TripleSafe sump pump by directing the drainage pipes into the sump pit. The TripleSafe sump pump, equipped with three pumps for reliability, efficiently handles the incoming water, preventing basement flooding. The primary pump manages normal water flow, the secondary pump activates during heavy water volume or primary pump failure, and the battery-backup pump ensures operation during power outages. This setup ensures comprehensive water management and protection against flooding.
Our team installed our WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along with a SmartSump pump to provide this homeowner with all the protection needed from leaks and floods.
High moisture levels in the crawl space caused the floor joists to rot. This led to the floor above to before unstable and unsafe. Our solution was to remove the damaged joists and replace with new lumber. The floor was also removed and replaced with a new subfloor.
Our team installed an French Drainage System on the exterior of this customers home to permanently stop water from seeping into their home. Instead, the system will capture the water and divert it away from the foundation completely. Once the system is installed, the crew backfills the trench to ensure a clean, level finish.
