FAQs
All-American Waterproofing
Why is my basement or crawlspace taking in water?
Water infiltration in basements or crawlspaces often occurs during heavy rainfall or extended wet periods. These conditions cause the underground water table to rise, which can exert pressure on your foundation. As a result, water may seep through cracks, joints, or porous concrete in your basement or crawlspace walls.How long will it take to complete my project?
Project duration typically ranges from two to seven days, depending on factors such as the area size, site conditions, and the extent of work required. Following your inspection, we'll provide you with a detailed timeline, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the project schedule.Do you offer different types of repair?
Yes, we offer a variety of repair options. Our services include both interior and exterior repair systems. As one of the few companies specializing in both approaches, we're able to comprehensively address the root cause of the issue and provide long-lasting solutions.Why is a reliable sump pump important?
Most basement waterproofing systems rely on a sump pump as the final mechanism to pump water out of a basement. The sump pump is the heart of the system, and if the heart stops for any reason (including power outages), the system fails, and your basement floods despite all the money you invested to dry it up. So, if you are going to rely on a sump pump, make sure it is reliable.Which sump pump system is best for me?
All-American Waterproofing Company uses the heavy-duty Wayne 1/2 HP cast-iron submersible sump pump. This pump is designed for use in sump pits 11 inches or larger. Its ceramic mechanical seal keeps this pump running even in the most demanding environments, and the 1 1/4-inch discharge creates maximum flow and ensures easy installation. Equipped with a cast-iron housing for long life and quiet operation, the Wayne sump pump keeps the basement dry and the sleepers asleep. Its ceramic mechanical seal assures long life in the most demanding applications.Is waterproofing a crawl space enough?
Crawl spaces do not have to be wet or flooded to be extremely unhealthy. However, in cases where the crawl space floods or standing water is present, this must be addressed first. All-American Waterproofing Company has the right solutions for addressing crawl space problems. From drainage to the best crawl space sump pump systems, we can keep your crawl space dry.
