Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Newtown Square

The challenge we faced was that it was a pretty tough pump dig, but besides that, everything went smoothly.

To address this, we installed a Grate Sump with an airtight lid, a 1/3 horsepower Fast Sump, and a built-in pump stand to capture groundwater seepage, with the discharge line running to the back of the yard.

The challenge we faced was having to start this job almost immediately because the basement waterproofing issues were holding up the new home renovations. Our project manager and production manager worked together and were able to have a full crew ready to go within 24 hours.

To address this, Steve Custus designed a full closed perimeter drainage system (Grate-Drain) with inspection ports strategically placed throughout the system for easy access and inspection. We also installed 2 Grate Sumps with 1/3 HP Fast Sumps that can remove 2400 gallons of water per hour. Additionally, we installed a full ThermalShield sealed vapor barrier on the walls to prevent any future wall leaks or dampness from reaching the basement floor, along with a high-volume, high-efficiency dehumidifier that can remove up to 90 pints of moisture a day from the basement air, creating a healthy environment for many years to come.

The basement wall crack had an active leak for some time, so it took a little longer to stop the crack from leaking, especially because it had rained just a day before the installation.

To address this, we replaced the existing sump pump that had burned out with a new Fast Sump. We also repaired the leaking foundation wall crack. Now the homeowners can put their home on the market without the fear of losing resale value due to basement waterproofing issues.

The challenges we faced were having to get this job done as soon as possible so the property owners would not lose any other deals due to the wet basement.

Because of the recent rain, our Project Manager and the property owner were able to see which corner of the basement the water was seeping into and come up with a quick fix to get the home back on the market. He proposed a new Grate Sump with a partial GrateDrain drainage system to guarantee that the basement stays dry in the area we treated, and the solution is transferable to the next homeowners.

Within two days, the property owner and realtor were able to get the house back listed now that the basement waterproofing issue had been solved.
