Basement Waterproofing

Is noticing a musty smell in your basement the norm? This can lead to mold and attract pests into your Myers Park home. Our basement waterproofing services can eliminate the issue.

French Drains

If you’re worried about water sitting near your home’s foundation, consider installing a French drain, which directs water away from the problem area.

Gutter Extensions

The next time it rains, pay attention to your landscaping. If you notice large standing puddles, you might need gutter extensions to help prevent damage to your basement, crawl space, or foundation. 

Vapor Barriers

When was the last time you thought about the vapor barrier in your Myers Park crawl space? If it’s been a while, it could be torn or even missing. In that case, don’t hesitate to install a new system to help prevent future damage.

Dehumidifiers /  Sump Pumps

Though you might not realize it, humidity and moisture in your crawl space can make their way into your home, leading to serious issues. Installing a dehumidifier can help draw that excess moisture out of the air. We also offer sump pump repair services and can install a battery-operated backup for extra protection.

Sump Pump Installation

When installed improperly a sump pump can be a source of humidity, foul odors, and mold rather than a solution. Here are three ways that this sump pump is installed improperly.

  1. No lid. A proper sump basin has a lid which serves multiple purposes. 1) A lid prevents the basin water from evaporating back into your crawl space and eventually being absorbed by your insulation and floor joist. 2) A lid helps ensure a clean environment for the sump pump. Notice the dirtiness of the water and the inside of the green basin. 3) A lid is also a safety mechanism to prevent Barky or Meow from falling in. Sadly, while performing a routine inspection, one of our technicians found a customer’s puppy that had been missing for months. 
  2. Five-gallon bucket, rather than a proper sump pump basin. There are several models that will get the job done, but the typical basin is about twice the depth and four times the volume of this five-gallon bucket.
  3. No holes to allow ground water to enter basin. In a crawl space environment it is most effective to drill holes around the basin to allow ground water to enter the basin and then be pumped out. The only water entering this basin is being pumped through tubes (black 1″ tube above) from a dehumidifier. Notice the ground surrounding this sump basin is wet and muddy because the ground water has no way of entering the basin.
