3 Pros Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Winchester, VA homeowner was concerned about flooding in their basement and the water damage that came with it. They contacted 3 Pros Basement Systems for a free home inspection and to get an idea of what options were available to help. Our sales professional Stephen went out to provide a full home inspection and give the homeowner some options. After the inspection Stephen determined that the ideal solution would be to install a sump pump in the basement.  Our production crew started by digging out the planned trench lines and the sump pit in specifically chosen locations that would help increase the system's efficiency. Then, they installed the sump pump at the lowest spot in the basement and the drains at key points of interest chosen to maximize the system's effectiveness. After that, they installed the discharge line that led to a slope pointing away from the property so the water would flow away from the home. 

This crawl space in Madison VA was fully encapsulated inside with a moisture barrier, vapor barrier, dehumidifier and spray foam insulation.  All of the vents we covered and sealed along with the vent that had been part of the original crawl space door.  We replaced this piece of plywood which was damaged and old and had allowed rodents to get inside with a new, Everlast Door.  The Everlast Door is air tight and will never degrade.  

Having a sump pump can save you from potential basement flooding.  When a sump pump is working, it handles more than just water.  It also pumps in the loose dirt and sediment that comes along with that unwanted basement water.  Annual service is the key to keeping your sump pump clean and working the way it is supposed to.  Here you have a great example of a sump pump that has been doing its job.  Taking it apart and cleaning out the corrosion, dirt, and nastiness that is collected while it pumps out water is part of our service and maintenance coverage.  We service clients who had their units installed by us and clients with old units that need service.  

This Winchester VA home had a sump pump installed as part of a basement waterproofing project we performed last year.  The homeowner called to ask about an annual service check after some recent rains had caused the sump pump to run for a long period of time.  Our Service Tech Brent went out to visit and checked the whole system.  The sump pump had been exposed to lots of water and had sediment building up inside.  Brent took the unit apart and gave it a full cleaning before putting it back in place.  We service all sump pumps, even if we did not install them.  

This Winchester VA home needed a full crawl space make over including insulation, water proofing and new door to the exterior of the home.  Our EverLast door was what the homeowner chose as the new entrance to their fresh new crawl space.
