This homeowner in Leesburg, Ohio needed an upgrade for their old, unreliable sump pump that couldn’t keep up during heavy rains. The existing system had only one pump, so if it failed or lost power, water could easily back up into the basement. We replaced it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which offers three layers of protection for total peace of mind. The primary pump handles everyday drainage, a secondary pump automatically activates if the first one can’t keep up, and a third, battery-powered pump provides backup protection during power outages. With this system in place, the homeowner now has a fully reliable waterproofing solution that keeps their basement dry no matter the weather.
This crawl space was in need of a vapor barrier, combined with a new waterproofing system. We installed CleanSpace matting and drainage, as well as a Ultra Sump 4. SilverGlo insulation was installed as well, which well help this customer save money on energy bills.
We waterproofed this storm-cellar basement in Greenfield, OH, to make for a comfier living situation for the homeowner. The only way to access this basement was through the stairwell, which often flooded. The walls and coves also leaked frequently, so the homeowner could tell by the smell in their bedroom if it was raining outside, (not good). We waterproofed the basement by installing 48 linear feet of our WaterGuard subfloor drains, wrapping the walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, and fitting a new SmartSump sump pump. The homeowner noticed a difference in the smell of their home from their bedroom right away after we completed the job.
This homeowner called us because the last contractor they hired did not do a good enough job to properly protect their basement from water. They claimed, "There is only one small sump pump and they should have put a larger one in or at least another one." They called us this time because they knew we would do it right because they heard about us from a friend. We added our WaterGuard drains under the floor of the basement, all around the perimeter. We then hooked them up to our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is strong enough to handle extreme amounts of water because it has a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery backed up sump. Safe to say these homeowners are done looking for a waterproofing contractor to get it right.
This home had a crawl space that had moisture issues and it was not very well insulated. We encapsulated using our CleanSpace vapor barrier and our SilverGlo insulation panels. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona to dehumidify, and a SmartPump to pump out water. The result is a well functioning crawl space that will save the homeowners money down the road on their energy bills and costly wood repairs.
