Lynnwood, WA Certified Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

Dave and Kelly S. had lived in their Oak Harbor home for 21 years. In the more recent ones, their East basement wall had started to leak water, especially during heavy rains. They had seen up to two inches of water in their basement at one time. Because of the frequent water, the carpeting had been damaged badly and was eventually removed. Dave and Kelly planned on moving at some point in their future and knew that the damages would bring down the value of their home. By making the investment in a Rainy Day Basement System, not only did they increase the value of their home, but their quality of life as long as they remain there.

To prevent water from reaching the basement walls, Rainy Day installed our WaterGuard drainage system. This piping system was specially designed to prevent clogging by separating it from the soil underneath the floor. Seepage is also prevented by installing our crawl space encapsulation lining, CleanSpace. By completely isolating the space from the earth below, the antimicrobial lining is highly effective at lowing the amount of moisture in the crawl space, and in turn, lowering the possibility of mold and mildew growth.

All captured water is pumped through their newly installed SuperSump pump, equipped with a cast iron pump, airtight lid and WaterWatch Alarm System. The alarm system alerts the homeowner if water rises above the point where the pump should be on, allowing them to intervene before serious damages occur. The water is then pumped out through their LawnScape outlet, a buried discharge line that safely carries the water a safe distance away from the home.
