To prevent flooding, we installed an exterior French drain system connected to buried downspouts. We dug a trench around the perimeter and placed a perforated pipe on a gravel bed. The downspouts were directed into the drain, and the trench was backfilled with gravel and soil. This system effectively diverts water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of flooding.
We tied the exterior French drain system and buried downspouts into a TripleSafe sump pump by directing the drainage pipes into the sump pit. The TripleSafe sump pump, equipped with three pumps for reliability, efficiently handles the incoming water, preventing basement flooding. The primary pump manages normal water flow, the secondary pump activates during heavy water volume or primary pump failure, and the battery-backup pump ensures operation during power outages. This setup ensures comprehensive water management and protection against flooding.
This troubled crawl space was rotten and cracked, causing the existing support columns to lose their strength and stability. The foundational failure was visible via the interior wall cracks and sagging floors - issues that no one wants to deal with! Our crew was able to permanently stabilize this home's foundation with the top-quality SmartJack system. These high-capacity steel piers are the only floor stabilizing solution that addresses the root cause of these foundational issues, weak soils! This system provides instant and permanent stabilization and can even lift the floors back to their original position.
We permanently stabilized and leveled these sagging floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers immediately stop settlement in its tracks and lift the floors above back to their original position.
Our team installed our WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along with a SmartSump pump to provide this homeowner with all the protection needed from leaks and floods.
