Professional Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space Repair in Colwyn, PA

The challenge we faced was that it was a hard floor to demo.

To address this, we installed a drainage system along with a full vapor barrier on the back wall and a sump pump replacement.

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 water was coming up through the floor where an old sump pit had been covered over.

To address this, we installed a new Fast Sump with a 1/3 HP pump. We also painted a few areas on the wall where the paint was peeling to give it a clean look, and we did not charge him for the paint touch-up.

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 challenges we faced were that we had a totally finished basement with carpet and everything, so our Senior Project Manager Steve first had to find the leak by starting with an outside water test to locate it.

Steve had seen this problem a few times before, so he knew how to approach it. After finding the leak, he recommended removing the lower portion of the wall. We then installed a new drainage system, parged the wall where the mud was washing into the basement, and tested the existing sump pump. Problem solved, and the homeowner was happy that she did not have to replace her entire existing drainage system.

The challenges we faced, besides the fact that she had a finished basement, were that the homeowner also had a second bathroom downstairs that we had to work around in order to install the drainage system properly.

To address this, we installed a full perimeter closed Grate-Drain drainage system with a new Grate Sump and 1/3 HP Fast Sump. We also installed a vapor barrier behind the finished walls and a Grate Trench at the door entryway to prevent any water from entering the basement from the Bilco doorway. This system offers a lifetime warranty. Now Michelle can have peace of mind and refinish her basement later down the line without the fear of it ever flooding again. She also has one year of free annual maintenance, during which we will return annually to clean out the Grate Sump and test the pumps for her. Problem solved.
