Capable Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Custer, WA

Jeff and William called Rainy Day Basement systems when their front porch on their Custer home began to sink and they feared that it would bring their roof down along with it. Once Rainy Day assessed the situation, they determined that because of the all the water running under the porch to the crawl space was displacing the ground underneath the porch causing it to sink.

Rainy Day’s solution was to install SmartPipe Drainage Trenches throughout the crawl space leading all captured water to the lowest point, or where the sump pump is located. Thanks to its distinctive design, SmartPipe can collect water from foundation walls as well as from the dirt crawl space floor. They chose to go with a TripleSafe Sump Pump which comprises a cast iron primary AC pump, an airtight lid and floor drain and a WaterWatch alarm system to alert them of any plumbing leaks that should arise. The entire space was encapsulated in CleanSpace, an antimicrobial lining that completely isolated the space from the earth below. A SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed to keep the space at a low humidity and a steady temperature. Finally, a LawnScape outlet was added to carry all unwanted water caught by the entire system a safe distance away from the home where it cannot displace the ground below it.
