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
Spray Foam Insulation
The spray foam insulation installers kept me informed of progress. They were honest when they could not access one area of my bay for insulation completion, so we negotiated a price. Excellent communication of job progress!
Basement Waterproofing
We live in a house with a full basement that was built in 1915. The house has three full stories. We had noticed a new plaster crack in the second story and wanted to be sure the foundation was stable. The representative came, looked at the foundation and basement, and pointed out a few things we could do ourselves to keep the foundation area dryer. He also told us that the plaster crack was caused by settling from the weight of the house on the support beams in the basement (not basement walls). He explained what they could do to improve the support system in the basement and gave us a quote if we wanted to do the work, but was honest enough to tell us that the house was very stable in its present condition, which is what we really wanted to know.
