Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Souderton

The challenges we faced were the structural repair work and the small crawl space to work within.

To address this, Steve proposed a full perimeter GrateDrain drainage system that offers a lifetime warranty and is transferable to the next homeowners, which was especially important as she was planning to put her house on the market soon. An airtight Grate Sump pump was installed to replace their open sump pit hole, along with a crawl space encapsulation system and structural repair to turn the crawl space into dry, usable space. By doing so, Mrs. Opalisky turned 2000 square feet into dry usable space, therefore increasing the value of her home.

The challenge we faced was that the pump dig was very wet and had a lot of stones, so it took a little longer to dig than normal.

To address this, the homeowner already knew exactly what he wanted because we had done work for him in the past, which made Project Manager Steve’s job much easier. Crew Foreman Ken McKnight, along with Derek Price, installed a new Grate Sump with a built-in pump stand and an airtight lid to help reduce moisture.

Working in any finished basement is a challenge for a basement waterproofer. To address this, we provided the homeowners with a Healthy Basement 3 Certificate, which included wall removal demo, a full perimeter drainage system, two new Grate Sumps, and a partial vapor barrier on the walls.
