Professional Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space Repair in Fort Washington, PA

The challenge we faced was getting this job completed before the new homeowners moved into their new home.

Project Manager Steve C. went out to provide the homeowners with a free basement inspection. During the inspection, the homeowners pointed out their areas of concern. One of these concerns was water seeping in at the floor-wall joint and under the basement entryway door. Based on these issues, Steve recommended the GrateDrain System. This system channels water from around the perimeter of the basement to the Grate-Sump, which removes the water far away from the home.

Steve’s inspection also revealed to the homeowners that there was a potentially hazardous dirt crawl space under their living space. He recommended sealing it off to improve the overall health of the home.

The new homeowners can now use every inch of their basement and crawl space for storage without fear of things being ruined by moisture.

The challenges we faced were keeping the newly finished basement clean while doing the waterproofing work.

To address this, we installed a window well drain that ties into the existing sump pump. Then, we installed a sealed window well surround to keep water out and prevent the well from filling up. Now the homeowners can enjoy their newly finished basement.

When we got there, there was a lot of mud and water on the floor, and half of the basement was finished, which made the job more challenging. Taking this into account, and because the homeowner wanted the problem solved as soon as possible, Steve arranged for a production crew to be out within a few days. We installed a drainage system with a full vapor barrier and a Grate Sump with a battery backup for 24-hour protection. We also extended the downspout 10 feet away from the home and washed the floor down. Now the basement is dry as a bone.

The challenges we faced were that installing a drainage system in a really tight crawl space is always difficult.

To address this, Project Manager Steve went out to meet with the homeowners at their home in Ambler, PA, and after hearing them out, he knew exactly what would fix their problem.

So, he proposed a full closed drainage system (Grate-Drain) with inspection ports. This system will drain the water into the homeowners’ existing sump pump, which will then pump it out of the crawl space and far away from the home. We were able to solve their problem and save them some money by using their existing sump pump, which had been recently installed.
