When It rained, water pooled around this customers patio. Understandably frustrated, they contacted our office for a permanent solution. Our team assessed the issue and decided the most effective solution was to install a French Drainage System along with a high-quality sump pump to remove water to eliminate it from pooling and diverting it away from the foundation to prevent flooding.
The exterior discharge line was installed with the waterproofing system to ensure effective drainage of water away from the foundation. This helps prevent water accumulation around the structure, reducing the risk of hydrostatic pressure that could compromise the waterproofing and the integrity of the foundation.
The SmartSump system is a high-quality sump system installed to keep this basement dry. It includes a sump pump with advanced features like a built-in alarm to alert the homeowner if water levels rise too high, and it works seamlessly with other waterproofing solutions to prevent flooding and moisture issues.
In this Jacksonville home, the existing crawl space pump system was outdated and struggling to keep up with moisture control needs. To improve efficiency and protection, we installed a high capacity upgraded pump along with secure discharge piping for reliable water removal. The system works in conjunction with the vapor barrier to keep the crawl space dry, reducing the risk of mold, wood rot, and structural damage. This upgrade provides the homeowner with stronger, more dependable moisture management year-round.
Our crew installed a crawl space SmartSump pump in a customer's damp crawl space by first assessing the area and determining the best location for the pump. They then dug a sump pit, installed the SmartSump system, and connected it to a discharge line. The SmartSump pump is designed to remove water that accumulates in the crawl space, preventing moisture buildup and potential water damage. It includes a sump pump, a primary pump, and a battery backup pump to ensure continuous operation even during power outages.
