In this basement, the owner had a sump pump that was working, but wanted to add a battery to the system in case of a power outage. Our team installed our UltraSump Battery Back-up to the sump itself, which will sound an alarm when the battery kicks on. The system removes up to 12,000 gallons of water when fully charged and can keep the home protected from flooding till the primary pump kicks back on.
At this North East residence, the owner reached out regarding a spot in the home that was beginning to sag. The home was built in the 40's and it has additions in 3 separate sections that were added later on. We had reason to believe that a beam from below in the crawl space was failing so the team went out and corrected the issue by installing our SmartJack Floor Support System. This system will lift and the existing beams, which will protect against any further movement.
In this basement, the homeowner was getting water in through the wall cracks, and one wall was beginning to bow due to outside pressure from soil and water. To stabilize the bowing wall, we installed our PowerBrace foundation wall repair system, which is designed to straighten the walls over time and save the integrity of the foundation. This system is conducted with steel beams that get secured under the rim joist and are stabilized with steel brackets, which will make it easy to adjust over time to its original place.
At this home, the discharge line was backing up water through the downspout and also caused mud to backup into the sump pump. We installed the IceGuard with an extended discharge line that will drain out through the LawnScape at the end of the underground pipe. This system will prevent flooding by allowing water to escape through the discharge line and will prevent frozen discharge lines during the winter months.
A homeowner in North East, MD noticed their basement window was letting water in and causing damage to the walls. We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which is designed to be effective for moisture and vapor seeping in. Our wall system is made out of a white poly sheet material that covers the entire wall, keeping the basement dry from water damage.
