Photo Album: Water Intrusion Through Basement Cold Joints in Westford, MA

Facing relentless leaks through the cold joint during heavy rains, a homeowner from Westford came to us with concerns about their basement's condition, especially considering future plans to sell their home. As you can see in this captivating photo gallery, our team installed WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, and SaniDry Sedona to decisively address the problem. These solutions ensure a dry, effectively protected basement, underpinning the homeowner's confidence in their home's value and integrity for years to come.

Basement Perimeter Drainage

WaterGuard has been installed around the foundation's perimeter to gather water and channel it to the sump pump, preventing it from reaching the basement.

Basement Surface Drainage Around Utilities

TrenchDrain has been installed to intercept water on the basement surface in areas where WaterGuard installation is not feasible, thereby ensuring that utilities remain safeguarded from water intrusion.

Connecting Surface Drainage to Perimeter Drainage

The TrenchDrain system links to the WaterGuard system, forming a unified channel that directs water towards the sump pump.

Sump Pump and Dehumidifier Installation

The TripleSafe sump pump system expels water from the basement as it accumulates in its basin. Equipped with a triple-pump design, the basement remains waterproof and can manage large amounts of water consistently. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier eradicates humidity, ensuring a dry and healthy environment by thwarting mold growth and other humidity-related issues. Conveniently, the dehumidifier channels moisture directly into the sump pump, freeing the homeowner from maintenance concerns.

Preventing Frozen Discharge Lines

A discharge line has been installed from the sump pump to the exterior of the home for water egress. This line is buried in a location that does not pose a risk to the property. IceGuard is attached to the outside segment of the discharge line to avert pipe freezing, which could lead to backups and basement flooding. Additionally, a bubbler pot is placed at the end of the discharge line to deter water from pooling on the surface of the lawn.
