Photo Album: Adding Interior Drainage to Sump Pump in Bartlett, NH

A homeowner in Bartlett, New Hampshire previously had us install a sump pump system and partial perimeter drainage to the finished space. Wanting to expand the finished space in their vacation home, they wanted to now add full perimeter drainage to ensure the entire space stays dry all the time. Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, TrenchLock surface drainage, and a feed line. This system is designed to capture water before being exposed to the basement, delivering it to the sump basin, and then pumping the unwanted water out of the home. Our installation crew, led by Kyle DeChane, installed the systems while making sure the space stayed clean. After the project was completed, a final walkthrough was performed to showcase the finished work and answer questions that remained. Both Kyle and the homeowner were thrilled with the results!

Concrete Chipping

The crew started work on the project by chipping out concrete to make space for WaterGuard, TrenchLock, and the feed line.

Setting the Systems in Crushed Stone

All the systems are encased in crushed stone to ensure proper flow to the sump basin.

WaterGuard Finished Install

WaterGuard is installed to the perimeter of the basement, collecting water before being exposed to the basement floor or walls.

TrenchLock Finished Install

TrenchLock was installed in front of the doorway and around the utilities in the basement since WaterGuard is inaccessible in these regions. TrenchLock connects to the WaterGuard system to continue the flow of water to the sump basin. Other surface drainage systems can potentially expose the basement to radon, a harmful gas. Our TrenchLock technology prevents gasses from coming up from the ground, while still being able to harness water.
