With 92 linear feet of buried downspouts, the next time it rains, water will drain away from the homes foundation so it won't flood the basement or cause structural damage.
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.
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.
To prevent groundwater from stagnating, our team installed our CleanSpace Drainage Matting throughout the crawl space floor. CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was fastened over the matting to ensure moisture doesn't seep into the space.
