Sump pump replacement in Fort Washington, MD. We replace the existing sump pump for a triple Safe Sump Pump that has a battery backup. In turn ensuring that the basement system doesn't fail.
The customer became aware of sagging floors in her home and opted for a foundation repair solution. To tackle the issue of sagging floors, we installed eleven Smart Jacks and a supplemental beam in the crawlspace of the home.
Customer had extensive water damage in basement. We added a TripleSafe Sump Pump with a discharge line and our Waterguard system. We also finished off the basement with our Cleanspace durable liner for added security.
The customer was experiencing water seepage through their home's basement walls. To rectify this, we installed our state-of-the-art triple safe sump pump system, which included an exterior discharge line. To further safeguard the home, we incorporated our WaterGuard system and CleanSpace. The combination of these systems provided an unparalleled barrier against water vapor.
The customer, living in Suitland, MD, expressed significant concern about the vast amount of water seeping into their home's basement. In response to this issue, we sent our technical advisor to inspect the property thoroughly.
After a meticulous examination of the space, we determined that the optimal solution would entail several steps:
Firstly, we would need to install a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system. This system is designed to effectively capture and divert water at the perimeter of your basement, draining it away unseen.
Secondly, for easy access to the system for maintenance or inspection, a WaterGuard Port would also need to be installed.
Thirdly, based on the given drawing, an XL TrenchDrain, along with a lateral feed line to the TrenchDrain, would be incorporated into the setup. These components play a crucial role in managing water flow efficiently.
To facilitate the installation of the WaterGuard and/or CleanSpace, some sections of the drywall would need to be removed. Please note that our team does not handle drywall replacement.
To prevent future flooding from clogged or frozen discharge lines, we recommended installing an IceGuard system.
For efficient water removal, we suggested installing an exterior discharge line, as illustrated in the drawing.
To keep water from the sump or gutters away from the structure and reduce potential water damage, a LawnScape Outlet was proposed.
We also advised using a TripleSafe pump system, which includes a twin liner, a primary cast iron AC pump, a back-up cast iron AC pump, and an UltraSump battery back-up pumping system. This system also features a charging/control box with an alarm and a sealed, maintenance-free battery. Also included are three CleanPump stands, an airtight lid with an airtight floor drain, and a WaterWatch alarm system.
To provide additional protection against moisture, we recommended installing a CleanSpace wall of a certain height.
Lastly, to maintain a dry, clean, and healthier environment in the basement, we suggested installing a SaniDry Sedona system, a high-performance dehumidification and air purification system.
This comprehensive approach is designed to holistically address the water intrusion problem, ensuring a dry and safe basement for the homeowner.
