This home had an older sump pump in the basement. For the most part it would keep water from pooling on the floor. However when heavy rains hit, the system just couldn't keep up. When that happened the homeowners would clear the spots in the basement that would hold water and they would squeegee the floor and turn on a few fans. After dealing with this issue for a few years they wanted to look into some other options. After a full inspection, we suggested a TripleSafe sump pump with a WaterGuard drainage system and SaniDry Dehumidifier. Now the space stays dry and healthy no matter what the rainfall looks like.
John's Waterproofing Company also deals with a lot of mushy, wet, flooded yards. This homeowner called us out to help take care of the water in her yard, this water was flowing in and building up under her deck causing it to also drain into her crawlspace! Our team came out and dug a trench drain around the home. We then put piping and rocks in the trench and use gravity to direct the water out of the yard, effectivly preventing this home from being a lakefront property.
This daylight basement was always leaking water, especially at the door due to no drainage. Our crew installed a TrenchDrain in front of the basement door so that the water can never reach inside the basement. It is made of reinforced plastic so that it will never crack or dent. The trench drain is easy to clean out so that you don't have to worry about clogged drains. The homeowner likes how clean it looked and flush with the pavement and can keep up with the amount of rain that is present!
The homeowners had a water issue in their basement. Most of the water was coming from their exterior entryway which had a sloped entrance to double doors. The basement was frequently used so they wanted to make sure it was waterproofed. We did a full drainage system inside and also added in a TrenchDrain to the entryway to ensure the main water issue would be diverted before it got inside the home.
We are experts in all things basement and crawlspace. Given this fact, we are not always completing standard waterproofing. Sometimes it is details such as this ThermalDry flooring that make the space more beautiful while providing necessary function. This flooring is raised from the concrete providing a 1-inch thermal barrier that will keep the basement warmer and prevent ground moisture from reaching your space.
