Inspection Findings

Project Manager Ken McKnight  performed a full inspection of the basement and crawlspace. His findings included:

• High moisture levels throughout the basement
• Damp, humid air in the crawlspace
• Efflorescence and minor wall deterioration in the basement
• Musty odors being drawn into the living space above

These symptoms indicated that both the basement and crawlspace were contributing to ongoing moisture problems throughout the home.

Recommended Solution

Inspection Findings

During a full evaluation, the project manager noted:

• Water trapped inside the hollow cores of the CMU block walls
• Signs of moisture seepage along the perimeter of the basement
• An outdated or insufficient drainage system
• A damp, unconditioned, debris-filled crawlspace
• Elevated humidity levels affecting the home above

Recommended Basement Solution

To properly manage water and protect the foundation, we recommended:

1. Full Basement Drainage System

A complete interior drainage system installed along the basement perimeter to capture water before it enters the living space.

2. Sump Pump Installation

A high-capacity sump pump to efficiently discharge all collected water away from the home.

3. Weep Holes in CMU Block Walls

Weep holes drilled at the base of the block walls to relieve hydrostatic pressure and allow trapped water inside the block cores to drain directly into the new system.

These components work together to keep the basement dry, stable, and protected against future water intrusion.

Recommended Crawlspace Solution

To resolve moisture and air-quality issues in the crawlspace, we proposed a full remediation:

1. Full Clean-Out

Removal of old insulation, debris, and any organic material that could retain moisture or harbor mold.

2. Full Encapsulation

Installation of a durable vapor barrier on the floor and walls to isolate the crawlspace from the damp ground and outside air.

3. Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam applied to rim joists and selected surfaces to improve energy efficiency, seal air leaks, and prevent humid air from entering.

Results

• Basement remains dry even during heavy rain
• CMU block walls no longer hold or release trapped water
• Crawlspace is clean, sealed, and conditioned
• Home’s humidity levels have stabilized
• Energy efficiency improved due to spray foam insulation
• Overall air quality in the living space significantly improved

By combining a full basement drainage system with weep holes and a high-performance sump pump, followed by a complete crawlspace encapsulation and spray foam upgrade, Jamison Basement Waterproofing delivered a long-term, whole-home moisture solution that protects the structure from the ground up.

Ryan Bond’s recommendation to use rough-casting for the foundation damaged areas and install a sump pump and french drain drainage system effectively addressed both the structural and moisture issues in the basement. This solution not only restored the stability and integrity of the basement walls but also prevented future water damage, offering the homeowner a cost-effective and lasting fix to their foundation problems. End results was a five star review !!!

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 !!!

Our Jamison team designed a solution that would address both the source of moisture and the need for better air quality in the home: 1. Crawl Space Cleanout: • To begin, we thoroughly cleaned out the crawl space, removing any debris, dirt, and organic material. This step was essential to prevent mold growth and provide a clean surface for the moisture barrier. 2. Installation of a Moisture Barrier: • We installed a high-quality moisture barrier across the entire crawl space floor and walls. This thick, durable liner acts as a waterproof seal, preventing moisture from the ground from seeping into the crawl space. • The barrier was carefully sealed at the seams and edges to ensure that no moisture could penetrate and cause future problems. 3. Vapor Barrier Encapsulation: • In addition to the floor, we encapsulated the entire crawl space with an airtight vapor barrier. This added layer of protection ensured that any moisture coming from outside the crawl space was blocked, significantly reducing humidity levels. 4. Dehumidification System: • To further control humidity, we installed an energy-efficient dehumidification system. This system actively removes excess moisture from the air, maintaining a consistent level of dryness and preventing mold and mildew growth. After completing the crawl space encapsulation, the homeowners experienced significant improvements in the homes air quality …
