Professional Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space Repair in Crum Lynne, PA

The challenge we faced was working in a finished basement. To address this, we installed a Santa-Fe system.

The challenge we faced was that this basement had a wide footer, so we had to break out a little bigger than usual.

To address this, we installed a full perimeter drainage system along with a sump pump with water backup, and we dug the discharge line underground 10 feet away from the home for proper drainage.

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.

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 challenge we faced was removing the finished material to gain access to the foundation wall.

To address this, Project Manager Steve went out to meet with the homeowner and, after presenting a few solutions such as outside dampproofing and a sump pump with a drainage system, the homeowner chose the Grate Sump with a full vapor barrier and the Grate-Drain drainage system, which channels water below the basement slab to the Grate Sump.

Foreman Dwight and the crew faced the challenge of pumping the water out of the crawl space before they could get started.

To address this, Project Manager Steve Custus went out to meet with the homeowners, and after reviewing the home inspection report, he knew exactly how to solve the problem quickly and efficiently.

Steve provided the homeowners with a new Grate Sump with drainage matting and a full encapsulation seal system. He also replaced the rotted wood supports with new steel supports. Since the radon fan was not working, we replaced that as well. Lastly, and most importantly, we sealed the four open vents and provided insulation by spray-foaming the rim joists with closed-cell spray foam. Now the new homeowners have the confidence that the issue is solved, so they can move forward with purchasing their new home.
