Ryan Bond recommend we install our GrateDrain drainage system at the perimeter of the basement that will tie directly into our GrateSump sump pump system ! To help with the moisture from the basement walls we installed our ThermalShield moisture vapor barrier that will drain any wall leaks or moisture down into to the GrateDrain system …. With all the recent rains after the project was completed the homeowners finally had a dry basement with a lifetime warranty Thanks to the team at Jamison Basement Waterproofing !!!

Project Manager Ken McKnight conducted a thorough assessment and recommended a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation system to address the moisture issues and protect the home’s foundation. Challenges Identified • Excessive Moisture: The crawl space had high humidity levels, which were causing the space to become damp and mold-prone. • Poor Air Quality: The trapped moisture was contributing to musty odors in the home and deteriorating indoor air quality. • Risk of Structural Damage: Prolonged exposure to moisture could lead to mold, wood rot, and damage to the foundation, insulation, and flooring. Solution: A Comprehensive Crawl Space Encapsulation System Ken McKnight and the team devised a tailored solution that included a series of steps to eliminate moisture, improve air quality, and protect the home’s foundation for the long term. 1. Crawl Space Cleanout: The first step was to thoroughly clean out the crawl space, removing debris, organic material, and any existing damaged insulation. This created a clean slate and helped eliminate potential mold growth sources. 2. Installation of a New Sump Pump: Next, we installed a high-quality sump pump designed to collect and remove any water that might seep into the crawl space. The GrateSump pump ensures that any future moisture is efficiently pumped out, preventing it from accumulating and causing damage. 3. Sealing with a Moisture Vapor Barrier: To prevent water from infiltrating the space from the soil, we installed a heavy-duty moisture vapor barrier across the entire crawl space floor and walls. The barrier is airtight and waterproof, effectively sealing off any potential moisture intrusion. 4. High-Volume Dehumidifier #WiseAire To maintain a dry and controlled environment, we added a high-volume dehumidifier that continuously removes excess moisture from the air. This ensures the humidity levels are kept at an optimal level, preventing mold and mildew growth. Ongoing Maintenance for Long-Term Protection In addition to the encapsulation, the homeowners now have peace of mind knowing that their crawl space is backed by 3 years of annual maintenance. This includes: • Annual Inspections: Our team will return each year to inspect the crawl space to ensure everything is functioning properly. • Dehumidifier and Sump Pump Servicing: We will service the dehumidifier and sump pump during each inspection to ensure they are operating at peak efficiency. • Ongoing Protection: The annual maintenance program provides the homeowners with ongoing protection against moisture, mold, and potential structural damage. Results: A Dry, Healthy Crawl Space After the project was completed, the homeowners immediately noticed several key improvements: • Eliminated Musty Odors: With the crawl space sealed and moisture under control, the musty odors that had once infiltrated the home disappeared. • Improved Air Quality: The home’s indoor air quality improved significantly as a result of the reduced moisture and humidity. • Protected Foundation: The foundation, insulation, and wooden supports were now safe from the damaging effects of moisture, ensuring the home’s long-term structural integrity. • Peace of Mind: With our annual maintenance program in place, the homeowners felt confident that their crawl space would remain dry, healthy, and protected for years to come. This crawl space encapsulation project not only solved the homeowner’s immediate moisture problems but also provided long-term protection against future issues. By addressing the source of moisture and installing a comprehensive system that included a sump pump, vapor barrier, and dehumidifier, we ensured the home would stay dry, mold-free, and comfortable. With our ongoing maintenance program, the homeowners now have peace of mind knowing that their crawl space will continue to operate efficiently and protect the home.

Our team developed a two pronged approach to address both the garage ceiling and the foundation wall issues effectively: 1. Garage Ceiling Painting: • Cleaning and Preparation: We began by thoroughly cleaning the garage ceiling, removing dust, cobwebs, and any grease or stains. This ensured a smooth and clean surface for the paint. • Sealing the Surface: To further enhance the ceiling’s durability, we applied a high-quality primer designed to prevent moisture buildup and improve adhesion. • Black Paint Application: We then applied a durable, matte black paint to the ceiling. This not only gave the garage a sleek, modern appearance but also helped reduce the visibility of dust and stains while making the space feel more polished. 2. Basement Foundation Wall Stucco Repair: • Surface Cleaning and Prep: To begin the stucco repair, we cleaned the foundation wall, removing loose debris, dirt, and moisture. This was crucial to creating a proper bond for the new stucco. • Crack and Damage Repair: We patched all visible cracks and chipped areas with high-quality stucco repair material, ensuring the surface was smooth and stable. This also helped prevent moisture from seeping into the wall. • Reapplication of Stucco: Once the cracks were sealed, we applied a fresh coat of stucco to the wall, restoring the original texture and appearance while also enhancing the wall’s waterproofing capabilities. • Waterproofing Layer: As an additional safeguard, we applied a waterproofing sealant over the new stucco to protect against future moisture infiltration and mold growth. Results: Enhanced Aesthetics and Functionality
