Sump Pumps
This waterproofing product can be seen in many basements in both newer and older homes. Unfortunately, as time goes on, the pump can become weak and unable to support the amount of moisture that is coming into the basin. Also, it is not uncommon for some contractors to install improperly-sized units that are not the right capacity for the home’s seepage problems. Poor evaluation of a home’s needs could leave you with a pump that wears out prematurely, or a flooded space!
The purpose of this device is to collect water from interior or exterior drainage systems, including French drains, and push it out to a suitable location far enough away from the home’s foundation so that it can’t easily get back inside again to cause problems.
Older homes may have an exterior drainage system that is connected directly with the sewer line, and over time, this can create problems for the line if it clogs or if the materials used for its construction start to deteriorate into the earth.

Testimonials
basement waterproofing
The work completed on waterproofing our basement was excellent. Your crew and sales person were all professional and so far after six months with several heavy storms the basement is dry. I appreciate the job you did and would recommend your firm to others in the St. Louis area.
Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair
They waterproofed my crawl space and encapsulated the entire crawl space. They used excellent quality materials and completed the job on time. The staff were organized and knowledgeable in all details of the job. The crew arrived on site on time as promised. They reviewed the crawl space area and explained to me what would be taking place in detail. They protected all areas of the home they would be accessing by placing protective coverings on the floor. They worked the entire time with only taking a short lunch break. They cleaned up their tools and area the first day and returned the next morning on time to finish the job. They also had to dig a drain pipe in the backyard and took care to not damage the yard. They came the final day to inspect the completion and go over any questions I may have had. They also offered additional service to inspect and maintain the crawl space and sump pump on a yearly cycle which I have signed up for. I would recommend this company and feel they will stand behind their work at all times.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
They were very punctual and stayed as long as it took to get the crawl space encapsulation job done in a timely manner.
