Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

This project was all about protecting the home from basement flooding and giving the homeowners peace of mind. A new primary sump pump system was installed to efficiently collect and remove groundwater, helping keep the basement dry during heavy rain or rising water conditions. The system includes a sealed cover and an alarm to alert homeowners if water levels increase.

To provide extra protection, a battery backup pump system was also installed. This ensures the sump pump continues working even during power outages, one of the most common times for flooding to occur. With built-in alarms and long-term warranty coverage, this setup offers reliable, around-the-clock protection and helps safeguard the home from unexpected water damage.

What have we done in this house?

-The galvanized mesh was laid on the crawl space dirt floor with a coating of concrete to prevent rodents from tunneling into the crawlspace. 

-Insulation to help keep the house warmer.

-Cleanspace vapor barrier was installed to help with the musty smell and to help control a highly humid crawlspace.

-Drain Mat was installed to help protect the vapor barrier. It will also allow water to pass under the liner 

We reinforced the crawl space by installing a steel support system designed to stabilize the floor joists and beams. This included adding a solid steel base on the concrete footing, a steel beam for extra strength, and a joist stabilizer to keep everything secure and level.

We installed a heavy-duty SmartJack to support the floor and stop it from sagging. There was a cracked wood beam, so we fixed it by attaching two new boards on each side to make it solid again. Then we added a strong laminated beam to help carry the weight and keep everything safe and stable.

We started by adding a drainage system to capture any water before it becomes a problem. To keep the crawl space protected, we installed a reliable pump system with an airtight lid and alarm for extra peace of mind. We also included a backup battery system, so even during a power outage the space stays dry and protected. Outside, we set up a discharge line to safely carry water away from the home. At the end of the line, we added a discreet outlet that blends in with the yard and an overflow protection feature to prevent flooding in case the line ever gets clogged or frozen.
