Counting and grouping challenge in a pivot table with T-SQL

I have a pivot table that converts a vertical database design to a horizontal one:

The source table:

Id  ParentId    Property    Value
---------------------------------
1   1           Date        01-09-2015
2   1           CountValue  2
3   1           TypeA       Value1
4   1           TypeB       Value2
5   1           TypeC       Value2
6   2           Date        15-10-2015
7   2           CountValue  3
8   2           TypeA       Value3
9   2           TypeB       Value22
10  2           TypeC       Value99

After pivoting this looks like:

ParentId    Date        CountValue  TypeA   TypeB   TypeC
----------------------------------------------------------
1           01-09-2015  2           Value1  Value2  Value2
2           15-10-2015  3           Value3  Value22 Value99

Then, there's a look-up table for valid values in columns TypeA, TypeB and TypeC:

Id  Name    Value
-----------------
1   TypeA   Value1
2   TypeA   Value2
3   TypeA   Value3
4   TypeB   Value20
5   TypeB   Value21
6   TypeB   Value22
7   TypeC   Value1
8   TypeC   Value2

So, given the above structure I'm looking for a way to query the pivot table in a way that I'll get a count of all invalid values in TypeA, TypeB and TypeC where Date is a valid date and CountValue is not empty and greater than 0.

How can I achieve a result that is expected and outputted like below:

Count   Column
--------------
0       TypeA
1       TypeB
1       TypeC

I've accomplished the result by creating three several queries and glue the results using UNION, but I think it should also be possible using the pivot table, but I'm unsure how. Can the desired result be realized using the pivot table?

Note: the database used is a SQL Server 2005 database.
