Basements leak because of either hydrostatic pressure (water pressure building up beneath the floor) or water penetration through the walls. A&R installs interior perimeter drainage systems beneath the floor that a. Intercept the water as the water table rises and directs the water to a sump pump. b. Allows the water to run down the wall and pass into the drainage system through a space between the floor and the wall.

INTERIOR CRAWL SPACE DRAINAGE
Water can penetrate the foundation and collect in the crawl space. A&R installs craws space perimeter drainage systems that intercepts the water and directs it to a sump pump disposing of the water away from the house. We also install Basement System Clean Space Encapsulation Systems over the crawl space area and dehumidifiers to reduce moisture and odor.

It is for these reasons that it has become essential for homeowners to pursue water protection, including the installation of residential drainage systems, residential waterproofing, sump pump systems, residential dehumidification as well as home air filtration systems.
