Job completed for Susan F.

Basement & Radon Solutions, BRS Pros started by installing a Fast Drain dewatering system in the front and left front of Susan’s unfinished basement. This will be attached to our Pro-Series Sump Pump. The Sump Pump was installed in the left front corner of basement (as looking at the front door). The system includes 1/3 HP cast iron primary pump with a dual cage float. Included, is a deluxe controller that monitors pump, power conditions, and sounds an alarm when problems are detected and/or a high water warning. Additionally, it activates the pump weekly to exercise and extend the pumps life. Then, we installed Fortress Carbon Fiber Straps. Fortress carbon fiber/Kevlar unidirectional carbon fiber straps with top rim joist plate and bottom anchor footer assembly shall be installed vertically at four foot centers. The foundation wall will be scarified and cleaned smooth where straps are located on the wall. The carbon fiber/Kevlar top bracket is secured/bolted to the rim joist. Then, the steel dual leg bottom anchor was drilled and epoxied to the floor to prevent wall shear making it 125 times stiffer than the competition, making the bottom plate anchor the best in the industry. High strength epoxy was then applied to the wall and straps to create a life of the structure warranty where it was installed. The straps may be painted in the future for aesthetic purposes. Lastly, we installed our Thermal Shield wall liner. The Thermal Shield is a metal foil faced reflective wall liner with a plastic moisture barrier against the wall. 90 mil thick, Class A Fire Rated, near zero perm rate. The Thermal Shield reflects the natural occurring heat generated in the basement away from the foundation walls to provide a much warmer space. It was a pleasure helping Susan make her home healthy, happy, and safe!
