Problem
Our senior estimator visited a residential property in Hewlett, NY, after the homeowner requested a no-sump-pump solution for recurring water issues in the basement. Upon inspection, the estimator noticed an unusual water flow pattern in the basement. It was difficult to believe that the source of water was solely from underground water. This raised concerns that there might be other contributing factors to the water intrusion.
Several possible explanations were identified:
- A broken pipe somewhere near the foundation.
- Water from the house’s interior plumbing system is somehow flowing into the basement.
- Malfunction of one or more one-way valves in the basement.
Given these uncertainties, we could not provide a fair and accurate repair estimate without first determining the exact source of the water.
Solution
We proposed a step-by-step diagnostic approach to identify the cause of the water intrusion. Our plan included sending a senior project manager and an experienced foreman to conduct a series of tests using the process of elimination. These tests would allow us to determine whether the water was entering due to a plumbing issue, valve malfunction, or external groundwater infiltration.
By accurately identifying the source, we could then design a targeted basement waterproofing solution that would address the root cause rather than applying a temporary fix. The cost of these diagnostic tests would be credited back to the homeowner if Zavza Seal LLC was awarded the job to implement the recommended repair solution.
Outcome
The investigation process allowed us to collect critical data about the property’s water intrusion issues. Once the testing was completed, we were able to present the homeowner with a detailed scope of work that outlined the best long-term basement waterproofing solution. Our methodical approach ensured the homeowner would receive an accurate estimate and a reliable repair plan.
