Sump pumps play an important role in the waterproofing process when an internal water management system is used. The sump pump is placed beneath the basement sub-floor at the lowest point of the drainage system so that all of the water captured in the perimeter drainage pipes flows toward the pump by means of gravity feed. Once the water reaches the sump pump tank which houses the sump pump, it is then pumped outside through a discharge pipe that exits the basement above the sill of your home's foundation.
As explained in our section on Crawl Space Hazards, there are many potentially harmful and damaging issues that arise from exposed crawl spaces under your home. Rain King provides several highly effective solutions to eliminate the hazards and real possibility of damage to your home and health that can result from exposed crawl spaces. Rain King's comprehensive solutions will be customized to your needs, and a combination of the following systems will be used as your needs may require. Encapsulation involves installing a vapor barrier over all the exposed ground areas, as well as lining the foundation walls within the crawl space.
Since the sump pump will be responsible for removing water as it is collected from the drainage system, you will want to choose a reliable, powerful pump that's appropriate for your basement. PUMP CAPACITY AND STRENGTH: Rain King will install only pumps from leading manufacturers, whose capacity and strength are capable of easily removing any ground water resulting from even the heaviest or most continuous rain falls. Pumps installed by Rain King are a minimum of 1/3 to 1/2 horsepower pump with a pumping capacity capable of removing 2,200-3,000 gallons of water per hour from your basement.
Here's one of Rain King's many success stories in providing effective, honest Basement Waterproofing Services. This couple had engaged a leading, nationally franchised company that offers basement waterproofing services to resolve their basement flooding problems. Then this same company also failed afterward to provide a satisfactory resolution to the continued basement flooding, despite the guarantees they had lavishly offered earlier. In desperation, they decided to try another basement waterproofing provider and called RAIN KING.

At Rain King, one of our biggest assets, besides our expertise, is our honesty and our integrity. We stand behind our guarantee: either your flooding problem goes away, or Rain King will remedy it free of charge. Rain King will visit your home and make an evaluation of your basement or crawl space flooding problem, taking into consideration its causes, its nature and its severity.
Homes built over exposed crawl spaces are extremely vulnerable to a whole array of serious health hazards and structural damage. If your home is built over an exposed crawl space, it is not a matter of "if" you will ever need to deal with any of these issues, it's simply a matter of "when." An exposed crawl space becomes an ideal breeding place for mold, mildew, spores, rotting wood and a veritable army of highly destructive pests, such as termites, carpenter ants, mice, dust mites and many other insects and vermin.
Keeping the integrity of your home's foundation and support structure intact is vitally important in protecting the value of your home, and safeguarding the soundness of your home's entire structure. Foundation cracks that are not repaired allow water to enter the foundation. And this is not the only problem. Over time, foundation cracks can create increasingly more serious and more costly problems to repair, such as weakening support for the interior walls above the foundation, damage to the basement sub-floor and damage to other areas of the foundation.
Before recommending a particular basement waterproofing system, Rain King will first evaluate your basement's sub-floor and foundation footing construction, as well other factors, such as whether your basement is already finished, the basement's present condition and so forth. In many cases, the most effective method of basement waterproofing will be to install an interior drainage system along the perimeter of your basement beneath the sub-floor, running beside the foundation footings. These are commonly known as French drains.
Excessive humidity in a wet basement, a home, or a crawl space can be the source of unending and costly problems: mold, mildew, chronic allergies, property damage and property devaluation. Even after your basement or crawl space has been waterproofed, there is still a concern about the moisture which is absorbed into the concrete or cinderblock walls, and into the concrete subfloor from the soil which surrounds your home's foundation. This will happen even though your basement or crawl space flooding problem has been solved.
