One of the worst moments as a homeowner is finding water in your basement, and flooding, water seepage, leaks, and high moisture levels are risks that all homeowners dread.
That’s why Crawlspace Medic offers a range of services like basement interior drains and sump pumps to prevent and remediate basement water problems. With your home’s basement secure, you can face the future with confidence.
Sump Pumps are used to support your basement drain systems. They can protect your property from flooding and excess water build-up by mechanically removing the water out of your basement promptly. The basement slab would be cut to the size of the sump pump basin, where the sump pump would be installed and properly discharged to the exterior. If needed, the basin can have a lid along with an upgrade to a battery backup system.
Sub-slab interior drains might be an option for your home if you have higher than normal waterproofing needs. It is one of the more invasive installation services but will be a great added benefit to your basement. The process involves breaking through, removing, and exposing the footer along the foundation wall of your home, to install a proper drainage system. This will collect the water at the most likely area, under and around the footer, and take it to the sump pump. After the drain system is installed, a concrete patch may be placed on top of the drain system to create a finished look for the concrete floor.
Dimple boards are an effective way to prevent excess moisture from passing through your basement walls. They have “dimples” that capture the water and moisture that may seep through the wall and run it into the drain system on the floor. Installing this can save years on your basement walls. Dimple boards integrate into your existing drain system through the slab installation. The height of installation will depend on the job situation such as exterior grading and other issues. This is a great solution if you plan to finish your basement by protecting finished materials against a wet basement wall.
At Crawlspace Medic we install permanent, commercial-grade, and energy-efficient dehumidifiers to provide humidity control in your crawl space or basement. Regardless if you have a waterproofing system or not, the addition of a dehumidifier in your basement will reduce musty odors and dampness in your basement. A reduction of humidity will protect stored items and keep the basement air dryer.
