Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Having a sump pump can save you from potential basement flooding.  When a sump pump is working, it handles more than just water.  It also pumps in the loose dirt and sediment that comes along with that unwanted basement water.  Annual service is the key to keeping your sump pump clean and working the way it is supposed to.  Here you have a great example of a sump pump that has been doing its job.  Taking it apart and cleaning out the corrosion, dirt, and nastiness that is collected while it pumps out water is part of our service and maintenance coverage.  We service clients who had their units installed by us and clients with old units that need service.  

This Winchester VA home had a sump pump installed as part of a basement waterproofing project we performed last year.  The homeowner called to ask about an annual service check after some recent rains had caused the sump pump to run for a long period of time.  Our Service Tech Brent went out to visit and checked the whole system.  The sump pump had been exposed to lots of water and had sediment building up inside.  Brent took the unit apart and gave it a full cleaning before putting it back in place.  We service all sump pumps, even if we did not install them.  

Homeowners in Markham, VA had water intrusion in their basement on multiple occasions and were ready to fix the problem. After receiving a free evaluation, they decided to take the steps needed to ensure their basement stays dry all the time. The 3 Pros Basement Systems team installed CleanSpace on the walls, WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard is an interior basement drainage system in which water enters via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the sump pump. Most sump pumps fail because of either a failed pump, a pump that can't handle high volumes of water or power failure. The TripleSafe assures protection from all three sump pump problems.

Water Guard is an excellent solution for unwanted water in a basement.  This Marshall VA home had excessive water coming in through the foundation and walls.  Jackhammering out a channel in the concrete floor allows for Water Guard to be buried and then covered over with a fresh layer of cement.  A dry basement with reduced moisture and humidity in the air is the end result.  

A homeowner in Purcellville, VA had chronic water infiltration in her basement. This caused mold to grow, because the humidity levels in the basement were consistently over 60% for long periods of time. Mold can cause asthma like symptoms and allergies. 3 Pros Basement Systems crews came in and cleaned up the mold and the wet basement. Then, we took action to make sure it didn't come back by installing a perimeter basement waterproofing system including a new Super Sump Plus.
