Photo Album: Wet Basement with a Sagging Floor Above in Swansea, MA
A homeowner in Swansea, MA was unpleasantly surprised when he found water in his basement after trusting his sump pump he got installed by a different company years ago. To add to the stress, the kitchen floor above him was sagging down a bit since the floor joists were weakened up. Not only did this job need a waterproofing solution, it needed a foundational support one as well! We got 2 bird with 1 stone! Our production team installed a TrenchDrain, a more improved discharge line and used SmartJack floor support system to raise and stabilize the sagging floor!
Strong, Study SmartJack!
This is our SmartJack floor support system doing its work! Our production team installed this steel, adjustable beam right below the beam to provide permanent stability.
TrenchDrain
Our TrechDrain installed at the doorway is designed with a grated top to collect surface water.
Discharge Line
We wanted to make sure water got as far away as possible from this home. So we dug up a discharge line that ran from the basement, all the way to the backyard and inserted our LawnScape outlet to allow the water to disperse evenly at the end.
