3 Pros Basement Systems

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.  

This Boyce, VA homeonwer was looking for a healthier, cleaner home with less mildew odors.  The 3 Pros team found the biggest issue was the damp crawl space beneath the home.  The crawl space was encapsulated using dimple matting, TerraBlock insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a beautiful Smart Sump Pump.

Now the home is healthier, cleaner, and has no mildew odors!

This home in Boyce VA had a large crawl space that had been treated with old school, traditional methods to address water and moisture issues.  The old methods of installing a layer of plastic covering the floor and some insulation on the walls did not work.  The homeowner was experiencing a musty smell in the crawl space which was noticeable in the living area of the home above.  Our Sales Pro Stephen inspected the home and identified a solution.  Installing Terra Block matting on the dirt floor, covered by a layer of Clean Space was what did the trick.  Silver Glo insulation panels were used for the walls of the crawl space.  This helped to control the moisture and water in the crawl space and improved the air quality in the home above.  

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.  

This unfinished basement in Berryville VA had wet floors throughout most of the space including an attached crawl space.  The existing sump pump wasn't placed correctly so water was building up all around the dirt floors making mud and wet spots.  The water was coming in through the walls and under the foundation whenever it rained and the basement was too humid and smelled musty.  Our production crew laid down Terra Block and drainage matting to cover and seal in the dirt floors, allowing air to flow beneath and the water to keep from collecting anywhere in the basement.  Clean Space was used to cover it all and to wrap the foundation piers and lower parts of the wall.  This created a proper moisture barrier and kept the musty smell from being able to develop further.  

Homeowners in Markham, VA had water intrusion in their basement on multiple occasions and were ready to fix the problem. After receiving a free evaluation, they decided to take the steps needed to ensure their basement stays dry all the time. The 3 Pros Basement Systems team installed CleanSpace on the walls, WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard is an interior basement drainage system in which water enters via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the sump pump. Most sump pumps fail because of either a failed pump, a pump that can't handle high volumes of water or power failure. The TripleSafe assures protection from all three sump pump problems.

This Hume, VA home had some funky mold growth in their crawl space that was causing mildew odors and posing a health risk. The 3 Pros team cleaned the whole crawl space first, then installed drainage matting and Terra Block and finished the job with 20 mil. CleanSpace vapor barrier installation and sealed and insulated the walls with closed cell foam spray.
