Solution

Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dustin. A few days later, Dustin arrived at the home to begin the detailed inspection. During the walk-through, Dustin discovered that several areas were wet and causing a musty odor. To prevent the odor from worsening, Dustin recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the home. Dustin presented the homeowners with a solution that would solve the odor issue and prevent further waterproofing issues. After hearing Dustin's proposal, the homeowner knew it was their best plan of action. Next, Dustin passed the plans to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. The project was scheduled for the following month, then it was assigned to our Foreman, Lane, and his crew. Once the project date arrived, Lane and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Lane and his crew started by installing the WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. WaterGuard is our innovative below-floor drain. Next, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe sump pump, one of the most elite sump pumps on the market. Finally, Lane and his crew attached CleanSpace, a waterproof plastic vapor, to the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.
