Sump Pump Installation in Columbus, NC

This homeowner was having issues with water getting into their basement, mainly through the wall separating the basement area, from the dirt crawlspace. Since this was a unique situation (usually a home either has a crawl space OR a basement and in some cases, they have both, but they are much more separated), there was a little more planning that had to go into this project.

The "before" picture shows the area in which the water was coming through the most, the corner of the wall. Don't worry, that is not mold! This was a waterproof spray/coating that the homeowner had tried, without any luck. IF these types of products work (and that's a big if), then get ready to keep having to respray constantly, because this is definitely not a permanent solution to water intrusion issues.

The "after" photo shows the same area, with a little wider view. It shows all of the products that were installed in the basement; DryTrak, the sump pump, and a little bit of CleanSpace Liner! All three of these products do a great job of getting the water out of the basement. First, the CleanSpace liner helps to direct the water down the wall and into the DryTrak. The DryTrak then directs the water to the sump pump. The sump pump that was installed was a SuperSump. Once the water enters the sump pump and gets to a certain level, the water is pumped out (through the white pipe coming out of the sump pump) and somewhere in the yard. Between these three products, the basement/crawlspace combo is protected from water intrusion.
