Sump Pump Installation & Crawl Space Repair in Plymouth, IA

In Plymouth, IA, a homeowner had been experiencing a leaking basement. After spotting water leaks along the floor and walls of the basement, the homeowner knew the issues that could arise, such as mold growth and possible basement flooding if the issue is not addressed. The homeowner quickly took action and began looking into basement services in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming highly impressed by our stellar reviews and basement waterproofing photos, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate with one of our trained experts.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan M., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Ryan took a close look at the basement by testing the humidity levels and determining where the leaks were coming from. He explained to the homeowner that hydrostatic pressure is one of the most common causes of a wet basement. Hydrostatic pressure is pressure exerted by a liquid due to the force of gravity. When water saturates the soil around the home's foundation, water is pushed into the basement, entering cracks and between the footing and wall. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Ryan created a tailored solution that would solve the homeowner's leaking basement. He recommended installing CleanSpace, our vapor wall liner that prevents water vapor from permeating the walls and channels any leaks to the drainage system, WaterGuard, our interior drainage system that directs water leaks to the sump pump, TripleSafe, our extremely reliable sump pump system with three levels of protection, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape in sub-zero temperatures. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by installing CleanSpace along the walls. These are attached using drilled in fasteners to ensure they remain secured on the walls. Next, WaterGuard, TripleSafe, and IceGuard are installed. First the crew drilled the sump pit and along the edges of the floor where WaterGuard would be installed. Then, clean gravel is backfilled and WaterGuard rest on top and they finish installing the components of the sump pump. Lastly, WaterGuard, TripleSafe and IceGuard are connected before the flooring is restored. The crew was able to successfully install 144ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuards.

Ellen and Randy H. of Plymouth, IA had water leaking into their basement, causing them to worry about damage to property, water moisture, and humidity problems. They saw an American Waterworks commercial on television, so they called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully inspected their problems, and drew up a solution that worked for them and their home repair needs. Ellen and Randy were confident in our proposal of our WaterGuard Drainage System and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is an underground drain that prevents water and mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is made to keep basements dry for long periods of time. It is the best sump pump that we provide for homeowners by solving all three water problems in one system and providing three layers of water protection. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with pea gravel and rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was neater than when they found it.
