Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Alexandria VA had a sump pump that wasn't working the way the homeowner needed it to.  The crawl space would gather water in several spaces when it rained and it was not all being captured by the sump pump.  Our production team installed sub floor water proofing to help collect and send all of the unwanted water to the newly installed double sump pump to discharge it out of the home.  The rest of the crawl space surface was covered with a moisture barrier to keep the air quality of the home from having too much humidity.  

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 homeowner in Fort Myer, VA wanted the humidity issue in their basement and crawl space to be fixed before finishing it. Our team was able to prescribe a solution to achieve humidity control, efficiency, and overall cleanliness of the spaces.
