Water intrusion issues plagued a homeowner in Jacksonville, FL, and a permanent solution was needed! Our solution was to install a French drain system with a TripleSafe sump pump. This type of exterior drainage system collects surface water and groundwater, directs it to the TripleSafe and carries it away from the foundation. An adequately maintained French drain system can prevent flooding and foundation damage!
A catch basin is a square drain set into the ground in a gravel bed, typically with a grate on top of it. Catch basins help prevent pooling water, erosion, and flooding, and they catch debris, helping prevent a clogged storm drain or sewer system. They are placed in low spots in a yard, below downspouts, or in areas where rainwater tends to collect due to poor drainage.
Our team installed a downspout to direct water away from the foundation to ensure it doesn't pool and seep into the basement or cause structural damage.
The dehumidifier in this crawl space was no longer controlling humidity levels in the crawl space. This led to moisture issues, musty odors, and wood rot. In its place, we installed our high-performance SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona is the world's most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system (without a bulky heat exchange core). The Sedona helps prevent mold and reduce musty odors, providing a dry, comfortable air source. Even though the Sedona is small in size, it's powerful enough to lower humidity in even the dampest environment.
