Problem: This older sump pump simply couldn’t keep up during times of heavy rainfall. The pit also required updating as it was open and a tripping hazard.
Solution: We waterproofed the problematic walls in the basement, so it was the perfect time for an upgraded sump pump. With regular maintenance, our products work together to give this home owner a dry basement – permanently.
Now these home owners are enjoying a healthier home and a clean & dry basement!

Problem: Behind stored items, water was penetrating into this basement on two walls and within the cold storage area. This extra moisture was creating an unhealthy environment and was damaging the home owners’ storage nearly every time there was a heavy rainfall.
Solution: Our crew successfully installed a complete waterproofing system on the affected walls of the basement.
These homeowners can now store their belongings feeling confident that they won’t be damaged by a leaky, wet basement again.

Solution: Our team:
- Cleaned out the debris
- Leveled the crawl space
- Completely encapsulated the crawl space, sealing it from the outside environment
- Installed Spray Foam Insulation on the exterior walls to help with the home’s heating and cooling efficiency.

This is another attic that has fiberglass insulation in the joists. We know that this isn't an ideal product for the attic- not to mention mice love fiberglass insulation! After we removed the insulation, our team used closed-cell foam to seal top plate, wire and pipe penetrations to ensure minimal heat loss! Finally, we returned the following day to blow-in new 17" R60 cellulose insulation. We also added air sealing around the hatch access.
Great job Logan, Shane and Tyler in this home!
