Wet Drywall
Wet and cracked drywall in the basement or upper floors of your home mean dangerous levels of water intrusion. There’s probably a lot more water damage happening where you can’t see it.
Wet or Damp Floors
Damp carpet, obviously wet basement floors, water pooling in crawl spaces, warped or bubbling flooring in your home and floors separating from your baseboards are all signs of water issues. It could be from a fresh flooding, or it could be something that has been going on for years.
White Powder On The Walls
Unless you are in your basement on a regular basis, you may not see them wet. However, when the wetness dries, it can leave mineral deposits in the form of a white powdery or crystalline substance. Don’t ignore it. Chances are this is an ongoing dampness problem or leak.
The Cleanup & Finishing Touches
Our sump pump installation crew takes extra care to leave your basement clean, neat, and clear of debris for you at the end of the installation. Dust is cleaned from the basement floor and the discharge line outside is inspected to be sure that the water is being discharged to an appropriate location. We remove […]
Restore the Floor & Bury Discharge Line
To complete the sump pump installation, the floor is restored flush for a clean, attractive look. Our system does not leave a gap around the perimeter of the basement floor which can collect dust, debris, and other items that can clog your waterproofing system. This helps ensure better drainage and a more reliable system, and […]
The Sump Pump Installation
During sump pump installation, a special outlet connects the perimeter drain to the sump pump system and clean gravel is backfilled around the sump pump liner. This gravel helps to keep your sump pump system as clean as possible, discouraging silt and sediment from entering the liner. An airtight sump pump lid including rubber grommets […]
Installing a Perimeter Drain System
For reliable sump pump installation, it’s a good idea to install a perimeter French drain system, like BasementGutter®. In this sump pump installation process, the floor around the edge of the basement is jack-hammered, and a layer of clean stone is set down. A perimeter drain is installed on top of the stone, and is […]
Placing the Sump Pump Liner
In the first step of the sump pump installation process, a sump pump pit is excavated for the liner and pump to be placed in. This protects your sump pump from the mud and debris around the pump pit. It’s important that the sump pit is large enough, but not too large. If sump pump […]
Mold Treatment
A crawl space that’s infested with mold poses serious health risks. Cleaning up and treating mold could set you back $2,000 or more for a small area. Mold growth could be a sign of underlying moisture issues that need to be addressed as well.
Pest Control
As long as you have a vented crawl space, you can expect pests and crawling insects to come when it’s hot and dry. Fumigating crawl space pests with a specialized pest control company may cost you $1,000, but that’s on the lower end. The cost could be more depending on the seriousness of the infestation.
