The SmartDrain System is a crawl space drain that includes a bottomless liner and an airtight lid. If a plumbing failure occurs, this system will drain the water beneath your vapor barrier, preventing it from collecting in the space.
The SmartDrain is installed within a drywell created during the installation. A fill of clean drainage stone is used around to isolate the drain from the dirt to prevent clogging.
Our system features a unique ball-and-cup drain system. When water enters the cup, the ball floats and opens the drain -- sealing again when no water remains. When the system detects water, a unique WaterWatch Alarm will sound off, alerting you of an issue.
Here, you can see a drywell being created in a Bumpass, VA crawl space. The SmartDrain is then placed in the hole and backfilled with drainage stone.
A homeowner in Bumpass, VA upgraded their sump pump to a TripleSafe Sump Pump, so that even in extreme conditions and power outages, this basement will stay dry.
This Fairfax VA home had water in the crawl space so the homeowners called us to help install waterproofing solutions. After sealing up the crawl space and installing a sump pump, a discharge line was needed to direct the collected water away from the foundation of the home. After digging up the yard to create a trench, our production team tried to get the yard back to its original condition.
This Fairfax VA home had a sump pump that has been doing its job. Because of that, it was covered in corrosion, dirt, and sediment that came along with the dirty water it had been pumping out of the home for the last year. Our service tech Brent stopped in for an annual service check and got the pump cleaned and ready to keep working in the future.
This basement in Fairfax VA had unwanted water collecting in it. The home owners had installed a stand alone dehumidifier and placed it next to their existing sump pump to drain it. unfortunately, this is a common mistake made by many homeowners trying to self address basement water problems. Placing a dehumidifier next to a sump pump can lead to the same water being pulled back into the dehumidifier once it is drained in the sump pump well. This can overwork both devices and keeps the moisture in the area. Our production team installed a new sump pump with a cover and had it properly located to receive all of the water collected by our Water Guard basement waterproofing system.
