Water intrusion can be frustrating, especially when previous repairs don’t fully solve the problem. In this Drexel Hill, PA home, our team implemented a complete waterproofing system to stop water at the source. Here’s how the process works step by step:

Step 1: Identifying the Real Problem

The homeowners initially believed the issue was related to plumbing, but continued water intrusion made it clear that something else was happening. This is common! Many basement water issues actually come from groundwater pressure around the foundation, not just interior sources.

Step 2: Full Basement Inspection

Our System Design Specialist, Ryan conducted a comprehensive inspection to identify all entry points and contributing factors. By looking at the full picture, we were able to determine that water was entering through the foundation walls and floor joint.

Step 3: Installing the WaterGuard Drainage System

To control the water, we installed our WaterGuard system along the basement perimeter. This system is placed just above the footing and is designed to capture water entering through walls, prevent clogging from soil and debris, and direct water efficiently to a sump pump.

Step 4: Installing the TripleSafe Sump Pump

Next, we installed the TripleSafe sump pump system to remove collected water from the home.

This system provides a primary pump for everyday use, a secondary pump for heavy water flow, and a battery backup for protection during outages.

Step 5: Restoring the Basement Floor

After installation, the trench was sealed with fresh concrete, restoring the basement floor and leaving a clean, finished appearance.

Step 6: Long-Term Protection

With both systems working together, the basement is now protected from future water intrusion! Water is intercepted, redirected, and removed before it can cause damage, providing a reliable, long-term solution.

Interior drainage systems like WaterGuard combined with a reliable sump pump offer consistent protection because they manage water after it reaches the foundation, ensuring it never enters the living space. If your basement has experienced water issues, even after previous repairs, it may be time for a more comprehensive solution. A professionally designed waterproofing system can provide lasting protection and peace of mind, no matter the weather!
