Assessing the Situation
The family in Linesville, PA noticed recurring problems with water infiltration and dampness in their crawlspace, which posed risks to their home's structural integrity, indoor air quality, and overall comfort.

Installing Interior French Drains
As part of the comprehensive waterproofing plan, Aqua Solutions installed 131 feet of interior French drains in the family's crawlspace. French drains are trenches filled with gravel and a perforated pipe, designed to collect and redirect water away from the home's foundation. This system effectively intercepted water infiltration and channeled it to the sump pump, preventing flooding and water damage.
Sump Pump and Battery Backup System
Aqua Solutions also installed a high-quality sump pump, which worked in tandem with the interior French drains to remove water from the crawlspace efficiently. To ensure uninterrupted operation during power outages, a battery backup system was added, providing the family with peace of mind and consistent protection against water damage.
Moisture Barrier and Dehumidifier for a Healthy Living Environment
To further safeguard the family's home, Aqua Solutions installed a 125 mil white moisture barrier in the crawlspace. This heavy-duty barrier helped to prevent moisture, pests, and external pollutants from entering the living space, contributing to a dry and healthy environment. In addition, an Aprilaire 100-pint dehumidifier was installed to effectively control humidity levels and improve indoor air quality.
