Damp Basement
The homeowner's damp basement issues were caused by water seeping through the foundation walls and floor due to poor drainage and hydrostatic pressure around the home's perimeter. Without a proper waterproofing system in place, moisture continued to accumulate, leading to persistent dampness and a musty environment.
Installing WaterGuard
We began the WaterGuard installation by carefully removing a section of the basement floor along the perimeter. A specialized drainage channel was then placed just above the footing to collect water from both the walls and floor. After securely positioning the system, we covered it with clean stone and applied a layer of cement for a seamless finish, ensuring long-term, clog-free drainage.
During TrenchDrain Install
Next, our TrenchDrain System was installed. This grated drain was embedded at floor level and connected directly to the interior drainage system, allowing water to flow immediately into WaterGuard or the sump pump system, effectively stopping water at the entry point.
TripleSafe Install
Our crew installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump by excavating a sump pit at the lowest point of the basement for optimal water collection. Once installed, the system was sealed with an airtight lid and connected to the discharge line, ensuring 24/7 flood protection and a dry basement environment.
WaterGuard Drainage System
WaterGuard provides a clean, hidden solution for managing basement water intrusion. Installed along the interior perimeter, it effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement space. Its clog-resistant design and placement above the footing make it a long-lasting, low-maintenance waterproofing solution.
TrenchDrain System
TrenchDrain offers critical protection at vulnerable entry points like stairwells and exterior doors. Its grated design quickly collects surface water and redirects it to the interior drainage system, preventing water from spreading across the basement floor. This ensures targeted defense where water is most likely to enter.
TripleSafe Sump Pump
The TripleSafe Sump Pump provides unmatched basement protection with its triple-pump design. The primary and secondary pumps handle heavy water intrusion, while the battery backup ensures operation during power outages. This system offers reliable, round-the-clock peace of mind, keeping basements dry even in extreme conditions.
IceGuard Discharge Line
We also added our IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure water from the sump pump can safely exit the home even if the discharge pipe freezes or becomes blocked. This added protection prevents backups and basement flooding during freezing temperatures, keeping the system running efficiently year-round.
The Importance Of Waterproofing
Waterproofing is essential to maintaining a healthy, safe, and structurally sound basement. By installing our WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump Pump, TrenchDrain, and IceGuard Discharge Line, this homeowner now has a reliable defense against water intrusion. These systems work together to prevent damage, reduce moisture, and protect the space for many years to come, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
