Greg called us here at Basement & Radon Solutions because he has a home built in the 80’s. In one corner of his basement he has water coming in & flooding after a large rain event.

Here is what we did to help Greg. We installed a fast drain sub-floor dewatering system on the partial left & rear walls of Greg’s basement. We installed a Pro-Series PS-C33 Dual pump in left rear corner of the basement, in an inside closet under stairs. The unique monitoring controller detects irregularities, sounds an alarm, pinpoints problems, and solutions on the control panel. The primary pump with energy efficient PSC motor is continuous duty rated and water cooled. The primary pump controller allows for adjustable pump run time and exercises the pump weekly to extend the pumps life. Dual float switches provide dependable activation for both primary and backup pumps. The backup will assist the primary pump if excessive amounts of water is entering the sump pump. This unit maintains and recharges the battery automatically.Next, we installed a 15-mil vapor barrier on the wall. It was installed on the foundation wall above the Fast drain system. It is a 100% woven fiber reinforced wall barrier. It will protect against moisture, mold, mildew, humidity & wall leaks. Lastly, we installed a Pro-Series Connect Wifi-module. It easily connects to the pro series back up system. It sends an alert when there is a possible issue with the primary & back up pump. It was great helping Greg make his home happy, safe & healthy again.
