Fairfax VA Wet Basement - Sump Pump

This basement in Fairfax VA had unwanted water collecting in it.  The home owners had installed a stand alone dehumidifier and placed it next to their existing sump pump to drain it.  unfortunately, this is a common mistake made by many homeowners trying to self address basement water problems.  Placing a dehumidifier next to a sump pump can lead to the same water being pulled back into the dehumidifier once it is drained in the sump pump well.  This can overwork both devices and keeps the moisture in the area.  Our production team installed a new sump pump with a cover and had it properly located to receive all of the water collected by our Water Guard basement waterproofing system.
