Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Waterproofing in West Union, WV

A West Union, West Virginia resident built a new home after tearing down an old one, and wanted to protect her investment by getting ahead of future water problems in the crawl space. The Alford team stepped in to help waterproof the space with an encapsulation system, sump pump, and drainage. This proactive step in the new construction process will keep the home dry, energy-efficient, and uphold its value over time.

Before the Work - New Construction Crawl Space

This is the before image of the crawl space without any insulation or waterproofing, completely vulnerable and exposed to water intrusion!

Perimeter Drainage Pipe

No matter where water may enter inside this crawl space, this drain will intercept where water and the floor meet and allow water to flow outside away from the house.

Drainage Matting

We installed drainage matting, a dimpled layer that collects water from the floor and directs it to the sump pump and drainage pipe. It's like magic.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

This sump pump keeps your basement dry with three pumps, including one that pumps up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour, one that kicks in if the first pump fails, and a third pump that is battery-powered in case of no power.
