Job completed for Marquis W

Completion date: January 30, 2025

Location: Folcroft, PA

Why did the customer contact us?

The homeowners in Folcroft PA reached out to Jamison Basement Waterproofing after noticing a small leak in their basement. The water seepage was not large but was enough to cause concern, as it had led to dampness along the basement floor and a musty odor. The homeowners were concerned about potential mold growth and long-term damage to their foundation, so they called in our team at Jamison Basement Waterproofing to assess and resolve the issue.

Solutions provided:

After a thorough inspection, our team recommended installing a French drain ( GrateDrain ) along the perimeter of the basement to direct water away from the foundation, along with a sump pump ( GrateSump ) to efficiently pump out any water that might accumulate.

Here’s how we approached the project:
1. French Drain Installation:
We began by digging a trench along the affected area of the basement floor. A French drain was installed in the trench, featuring our GrateDrain system that allows water to flow into the drain, preventing it from pooling on the floor. The drain was then connected to a sump pit.
2. Grate Sump Pump Installation:
A high-efficiency 1/3hp sump pump was installed in the sump pit, designed to pump any collected water out of the basement and away from the foundation. This ensures that the basement remains dry, even during heavy rains or high groundwater levels.
3. Sealing and Finishing Concrete :
Once the drainage system was in place, we sealed any cracks or gaps in the basement walls to prevent further moisture infiltration. The area was then cleaned, leaving the homeowners with a dry, safe, and functional basement.

Results: A Dry, Mold-Free Basement

After the French drain and sump pump were installed, the homeowners immediately saw results ..

Another Dry Basement !!!
