Professional Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space Repair in Bala Cynwyd, PA

The challenge we faced was finding the source of the leak behind the finished walls.

To address this, Project Manager Steve C. provided the homeowner with a Level 1 Healthy Basement Certificate. This consisted of a partial GrateDrain drainage system and a vapor barrier on the wall. We also installed a dual-chambered GrateSump liner with a single 1/3 HP FastSump pump and a high-water alarm. This solution comes with a lifetime warranty on the walls where we performed the work.

We had to remove the finished material to access the foundation walls where the source of the water was.

To address this, we provided the investors with a partial system that would control any water entering the basement from the currently leaking areas. We installed a closed drainage system with an airtight Grate Sump and a vapor barrier on the walls to channel any wall leaks down into the new drainage system.

Now the property owners can refinish the basement, and the tenant will have full use of her basement. Problem solved.

This was a tough job because we had to do all the waterproofing from the exterior. Another challenge we faced was that a concrete slab was in the way, so it had to be removed and put back by us in order to complete the installation. To address this, we installed a below-grade dampproofing solution with tar and membrane on the outside of the foundation wall.

The challenge we faced was that we had to gut the entire basement because the water problem had been going on for a while, and mold was certainly growing behind the finished material, so we had to get down to the root of the problem.

To address this, Project Manager Steve provided a full GrateDrain drainage system with a full vapor barrier, along with complete encapsulation of the dirt crawl space. We even extended a downspout underground free of charge to get as much water away from the foundation as possible. The Walkers said they chose us over our competitors because we were the only company that was not pushy during the sales call. Now that the groundwater issues have been taken care of, they can refinish the space and add a new playroom for their children.

The challenges we faced were that it was a really nice finished basement, so we had to be extra clean.

After our waterproofing specialist Steve Custus went out to inspect the issues, he recommended replacing the other waterproofing company’s drainage system with our patented GrateDrain drainage system, which can handle large amounts of groundwater efficiently. We also installed a new Grate Sump pump with a built-in pump stand and an airtight sump lid. Now that the groundwater problem has been taken care of, the homeowners have peace of mind.

The challenge we faced was having to move the washer, dryer, and a few other items.

To address this, we installed a Santa-Fe Advance 2 system and painted the walls.
