Flooded Fieldstone Basement

The homeowner's basement flooding put utilities and personal belongings at risk of damage.

Basement Perimeter Drainage

The WaterGuard system was installed around the perimeter of the fieldstone foundation to gather water and channel it to the sump pump.

Basement Surface Drainage

The TrenchDrain system was installed to redirect water around utilities like the oil tank and water heater. It is connected to WaterGuard, forming a unified flow towards the sump pump.

UltraSump Sump Pump

The UltraSump Sump Pump efficiently evacuates water from the basement once it accumulates in the sump basin. Equipped with a battery-powered backup pump, it ensures homeowners that water overflow will not pose a problem.

Preventing Frozen Pipes

IceGuard is installed to the discharge line to prevent the water in the pipes from freezing during harsh winters.

Maintaining an Aesthetically Pleasing Lawn

The exterior discharge line is installed underground, and a bubbler pot is attached at its end. This bubbler pot is designed to prevent water from accumulating and forming puddles on the surface of the lawn.
