Photo Album: Years of Damp Musty Issues - Elkton, MD

After years of dealing with a damp, musty basement every time it rained, this homeowner from Elkton, MD finally decided it was time for a permanent solution. They chose a full waterproofing system that included WaterGuard, IceGuard, and LawnScape. The WaterGuard drainage system was installed below the floor along the basement perimeter, efficiently capturing groundwater and directing it to the sump pump. To protect against winter backups, IceGuard was added to the sump pump discharge line, ensuring water could still flow even if pipes froze. Finally, the LawnScape outlet discreetly redirected water away from the home’s foundation without disturbing the yard’s appearance. Since the installation, the basement has stayed dry, even through spring downpours and winter snowmelt, giving them peace of mind and a healthier home environment.

Wet Basement

Water kept coming through the walls during heavy rains.

WaterGuard

WaterGuard is a specially designed interior basement drainage system that sits just below the floor at the edge of the foundation. Unlike traditional French drains, it won't clog with dirt or debris because it's positioned out of the "mud zone." WaterGuard collects water that seeps in through walls or the floor joint and channels it directly to a sump pump, keeping your basement dry and protected year-round.

IceGuard and LawnScape

IceGuard is a discharge line attachment that protects your basement from flooding in cold weather by allowing water to escape even if the line freezes or becomes blocked by ice. Paired with LawnScape, a discreet, grated outlet installed in your yard, the system safely directs water away from your home without disrupting your landscaping. Together, they ensure efficient drainage and year-round protection against water damage.
