Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Alexandria VA crawl space had been partially conditioned with material installed to cover the dirt flooring and walls, but the insulation for the space was not done correctly.  The walls and rim joists in the crawl space were left uninsulated while traditional bat insulation was used to "TRY" and insulate the floors above the crawl space.  The bat insulation allowed for cold and or hot, unconditioned air from the crawl space to impact the floors above.  The outside temperatures and moisture were able to freely impact the crawl space due to open air vents and no insulation for the walls.  We removed the bat insulation and some of the wall coverings and proceeded to use spray foam to seal the air vents, rim joists and to insulate the walls.  No more free moving outside air causing humidity and we conditions in the crawl space.  

Although every basement waterproofing jobs starts inside, the projects can often extend outside of the home.  This drainage pipe was run as far away from the foundation of the home as possible.  We do whatever we can to try and return a home or the yard it sits on, back to normal once we complete a project. 

This Alexandria, VA home had water damage in the basement.  Our sales professional Pedro went out to the property to perform a no cost home inspection and find the best possible solution. After the inspection Pedro able to show the homeowners that there were large gaps between where the basement walls met the floor, trapping water that seeped into the house. He determined that the best solution would be to install WaterGuard trench system to collect and divert the water out of the home via a sump pump. Once the project was approved, our service crew went out to the home. The crew started by removing all of the obstructions around the perimeter of the basement. After that, they dug out the trench to house the WaterGuard. Finally, the crew installed the WaterGuard and resealed the trench to complete the installation and protect the home from any future water damage.

This Winchester, VA homeowner was concerned about flooding in their basement and the water damage that came with it. They contacted 3 Pros Basement Systems for a free home inspection and to get an idea of what options were available to help. Our sales professional Stephen went out to provide a full home inspection and give the homeowner some options. After the inspection Stephen determined that the ideal solution would be to install a sump pump in the basement.  Our production crew started by digging out the planned trench lines and the sump pit in specifically chosen locations that would help increase the system's efficiency. Then, they installed the sump pump at the lowest spot in the basement and the drains at key points of interest chosen to maximize the system's effectiveness. After that, they installed the discharge line that led to a slope pointing away from the property so the water would flow away from the home.
