The Solution For Frequently Flooded Basements
Protecting your basement from water damage often starts with a sump pit installation. This essential system collects excess water that builds up around your foundation, particularly during heavy rains or snowmelt. Once the water enters the pit, a sump pump activates to divert it away from your home, helping to prevent flooding. With extensive experience and unmatched expertise, AWS provides top-tier basement waterproofing services you can trust.

Understanding The Role Of A Sump Pit
A sump pit is a basin or hole dug into the lowest part of a basement or crawlspace to collect excess water that accumulates around a building’s foundation. It is typically part of a sump pump system, which is designed to prevent flooding by removing water before it causes damage. The sump pit is where water collects, either through natural groundwater seepage or from perimeter drains installed around the foundation.
Why You Should Consider Installing A Sump Pit
Installing a sump pit offers significant advantages for homeowners. The primary benefit is flood prevention, as it efficiently manages water buildup and protects your home from costly water damage. It also helps preserve the foundation’s structural integrity and reduces the risk of mold or mildew growth, which can lead to health issues. By keeping your basement dry, a sump pit also maximizes the usability of your basement for storage or living space.
Not All Basement Water Issues Are Obvious
Recognizing a wet basement isn’t difficult if you know what to look for. Pooling water or damp spots on the floor, especially after rainfall, are immediate signs. A musty odor suggests mold or mildew growth due to excessive moisture. Other indicators include water stains or discoloration on walls or floors, peeling paint or wallpaper, and increased humidity or condensation on windows and pipes. Addressing these issues promptly helps maintain a dry, healthy home.

Residential Waterproofing
Waterproofing your basement offers homeowners peace of mind by preventing water penetration. Uncontrolled water entry can lead to mold growth, decay, and serious structural damage. Our expert waterproofing services block water from entering your home, keeping it dry and safe from these potentially harmful issues.

Commercial Waterproofing
Signs that your building may need commercial waterproofing often appear both inside and outside the property. If you notice standing water despite an operational gutter system, this indicates drainage issues. In these cases, a custom drainage solution may be necessary to ensure that water is effectively diverted away from your building to prevent further damage.
Signs You Could Benefit From A Sump Pit Installation
Understanding when to install a sump pit in your house can help you avoid future water damage. Inadequate water management is indicated by persistent dampness or water pooling in your basement following a significant downpour. Recurrent flooding is another cause for concern, especially during storms. Mold, mildew, musty smells, and water stains on walls and floors are indicators of moisture problems that might call for a sump pit. This installation could be especially helpful for homes that are particularly vulnerable, such as those in low-lying areas or with a history of water problems.
