Quality 1st Basement Systems resolved a water issue a South River, NJ homeowner was experiencing. We waterproofed the basement and one component of the system installed was the WaterGuard French Drain. WaterGuard is installed above the footing the home foundation. Water collects in the French drain and directs it straight to the sump pump system.
To properly waterproof a basement, it starts with a trusted French drain channel. WaterGuard is installed above the footing to this homes foundation which is considered out of the mud-zone. This prevents clogging and allows the water to flow easily into the sump pump pit. As you can see, the after picture shows the WaterGuard system in the channel before the concrete is pored over to secure it in place. the lid top on the right is to safely flood test the system in the future to ensure its functioning properly.
WaterGuard French Drain was the first system installed in this Plymouth Meeting, PA home when we began the process of a full perimeter waterproofing system. WaterGuard collects water seeping in from the foundation walls and up from the floor. The water is captured inside and directed straight into the sump pump pit, keeping the basement dry and healthy.
When waterproofing your basement, our team uses WateGuard French Drain, to collect the ground and foundation water seepage and directs it directly to the sump pump system. Each year our service team comes out to perform an annual maintenance on the system to ensure its working properly just like an oil change for your car. This port section allows our team to properly flood test the system to confirm its performance and give the homeowner peace of mind that their home is protected against water damage and flooding.
