Stanwood, WA Detailed Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

Bill and Sherry S. moved into their new home after it was built in 2005. They make good use of their crawl space and go into it often, they noticed early on that it was leaking water. The water had not yet caused any evident mold or serious damage, but Bill and Sherry did not want to take any risks. They contacted Rainy Day Basement Systems because they wanted their crawl space clean and dry for good.

To effectively keep water out of Bill and Sherry’s crawl space, Rainy Day installed drainage trenches all along the inside of the exterior wall footing. This allows the trench to capture the water before it can seep into the space. All of the captured water will be pumped out through the newly added SmartSump. The SmartSump Pump is equipped with a high-quality Zoeller 1/3 hp cast iron pump with an automatic float switch. Its unique design allows for the pumps lid to work together with a vapor barrier to create an airtight seal preventing any objects from getting in and odors from getting out. The pump also includes our WaterWatch Alarm system that is designed to go off like a fire alarm if it detects water in the crawl space like from a burst pipe or a pump failure. The water is then ejected out through the buried discharge line and LawnScape Outlet a safe distance away from the home.

This system is sure to keep Bill and Sherry’s crawl space clean and dry like they expected and they won’t have to worry about any future water damage that could have happened.
