KEY SERVICES PROVIDED

Site Protection and Cleanup - HPRE+D Website

We began the project by conducting an in-depth inspection to assess the extent of the damage. Our team identified areas where drywall and insulation had sustained water damage, particularly in the lower portions of the walls and ceiling.

Basin Excavation and Installation - HPRE+D Website

A precise excavation was performed using a pneumatic hammer to create space for the sump pump basin. Fine bedding materials were added to ensure a stable and level base, providing long-term support for the system.

Sump Pump Installation - HPRE+D Website

A 3/10 HP Pre-Plumbed Sump Pump System was installed and integrated with the cellar’s existing drainage. The pump was secured with cement and modified with a drain cap for long-term efficiency in removing water.

Exit System Setup - HPRE+D Website

A 1.5” exit hole was drilled through the cellar wall to redirect water outside. The pipe was reinforced with protective mesh and coated with Rust-Oleum exterior paint to match the property and ensure longevity.

Sealing & Waterproofing - HPRE+D Website

All leak points were sealed using bonding agents, stucco, and waterproof sealants. This created a tight waterproof barrier and ensured a seamless aesthetic match with the existing structure.

Electrical Work - HPRE+D Website

A new electrical line and a GFCI receptacle were installed to power the pump. The conduit was extended to ensure reliable performance and meet safety codes.
