Reliable Basement & Crawl Space Repair Contractors in Smithfield, RI

This homeowner in Smithfield, RI called about her unfinished basement. She was in need of a sump pump because the whole basement was getting wet after every rainstorm. With absolutely no waterproofing system, she ran the risk of mold growth, uncontrollable humidity levels and bad breathing air! To ensure that she won't experience these issues, we installed a WaterGuard interior drainage system and our TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard system was built inside the perimeter of the basement to capture wall seepage. That seepage then got drianed to the TripleSafe sump pump, where it gets discharged out the basements sight! The TripleSafe was squeezed right behind the washer machine since it was the lowest point in the basement, but we made it work! 

In 2010, New England experienced a once in a lifetime flooding disaster that created water problems for many people. Ralph, in Smithfield, RI was no exception. His basement had never seen a drop of water until those floods. 

After a year of mopping up his basement after every rainstorm, Ralph gave DryZone a call. He was adamant that he only wanted a sump pump. His inspector, Pat Cahill, explained the concept of hydrostatic pressure and even if the water was only presenting itself in one spot right now, it will likely come in somewhere else in the future.

DryZone installed a SuperSump pumping system with a partial perimeter system. The WaterGuard carries the water that enters along the floor and wall joint to the sump pump which is tied into his existing discharge. It has been 6 years since we did his installation and he has not had a drop of water since!
