Wet Crawl Space
The crawl space was obstructed by ledge, resulting in water accumulation in specific areas. The previously installed sump pump was inadequate for managing the elevated water table, rendering the crawl space susceptible to leaks and flooding. This compromised the integrity of the utilities and accelerated the deterioration of the crawl space supports.
SmartJack Footings
Concrete footings were meticulously formed and leveled to provide a robust foundation for the installation of SmartJacks.
SmartJacks
The SmartJack system, fully adjustable and precisely calibrated, was meticulously configured to deliver optimal support to the main beam, thereby stabilizing and elevating the floors above the crawl space. Constructed from galvanized steel, this floor stabilization system is resistant to rust, ensuring a durable and long-term solution.
Surface Drainage Connected to Feed Line
Our TrenchDrain surface drainage system was strategically installed around crawl space utilities to safeguard them from water intrusion. Our team expertly chipped through the ledge to create a channel for water to be directed to the sump pump. To optimize the flow of collected water, we integrated a feed line with the TrenchDrain system.
Drainage System Concreted into Foundation
Following the verification of effective drainage to the sump pump, the drainage systems were securely embedded into the foundation with concrete.
Feed Line Connected to Sump Pump
The feed line channels the accumulated water into the sump pump's liner. Upon entering the sump pump basin, the pump is triggered to expel the water.
SuperSump Sump Pump Concreted
The SuperSump sump pump was subsequently embedded into the foundation of the crawl space. The basin is strategically positioned two feet below the floor level to facilitate the gravitational flow of water.
Discharge Line Optimization
Water is expelled from the crawl space via a discharge line. IceGuard is installed on the exterior segment of the discharge line to ensure uninterrupted water flow in the event of freezing, thereby preventing system backups and potential flooding of the crawl space. Additionally, LawnScape is positioned at the terminus of the discharge line to enhance soil drainage, mitigating the risk of water pooling or the lawn becoming swampy. The discharge line is subsequently buried to preserve the lawn's aesthetics.
