The challenges we faced were that this was a fairly large commercial job with a lot of moving parts, and sometimes we had to stop work because the business upstairs did not want any noise when clients showed up.
To address this, Steve Custus proposed installing a variety of products to keep Nuri’s crawl space and basement dry. Jamison Basement Waterproofing installed an interior drainage system around the crawl space, 2 high-volume dehumidifiers, full encapsulation, drainage matting to help direct water to the GrateSumps system, and 2 carbon fiber structural crack repairs.
Crew Foreman Lamier R came out to complete the crawl space and basement installation. The process began with installing the drainage system around the perimeter of the crawl space so that any water entering the area, whether running down the crawl space wall or coming up through the ground, would enter the system.
The drainage matting was installed first on the crawl space floor, and its special dimples on the underside help channel water to the GrateSump in the low spot of the crawl space.
For maximum moisture protection, the team also installed 2 high-volume dehumidifiers with discharge lines so the water could empty directly into the sump pits without the need to dump any buckets.
For the basement waterproofing part of the job, we provided the client with a Level 2 Healthy Basement Certificate, which included a full perimeter #GrateDrain drainage system with inspection ports throughout the system. We also drilled weep holes in the block foundation to drain any water in the walls and installed a high-volume dehumidifier to control moisture.
