The solution included a new TripleSafe sump pump system and WaterGuard interior drainage. The WaterGuard will catch any and all water entering the basement and allow it to drain away from the floor.

Dan had noticed water pooling in his crawl space when it rained. He was very concerned as he used his crawl space for storage of personal belongings. Frank's had done work for the previous owner of the home, so Dan decided to call for a free estimate to protect his belongings.

Sean Kelley visited Dan's home and inspected his crawl space. While there was a sump already installed, it was installed in the wrong location. There also was no drainage system, making the sump pump extremely ineffective. 

Sean recommended WaterGuard interior drainage be installed around the entire crawl space to catch water wherever it came from. In addition to new drainage, a SuperSump Plus sump pump was the recommendation to complete the system. This combination would ensure Dan would no longer have standing water in his basement.

To improve the overall environment of the crawl space, Sean also recommended SilverGlo wall insulation to keep the space warm and prevent water vapor from entering the crawl space through the walls. 

After all components were installed, Dan knew his belongings were safe from water and his crawl space will be warm and dry.
