Photo Album: Replacing a Waterproofing System in a Finished Basement in Peabody, MA

In Peabody, MA, a homeowner faced a frustrating challenge: water infiltrating the basement, sidestepping an inadequate sump pump system, and soaking the carpet. Recognizing the need for a lasting fix, we stepped in to transform their space. As captured in these photos, we installed our innovative WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump Pump systems, meticulously engineered to capture and redirect water away from the home. Notice the precision and care in every step – hallmark traits of our commitment to dependable, ongoing protection and peace of mind.

Old Sump Pump

The sump pump depicted in the photograph failed to capture all the water from the high water table surrounding the home's foundation.

Installing Basement Drainage System

The concrete perimeter of the foundation was excavated to create space for the installation of WaterGuard.

Drainage System Finished Installation

Once the WaterGuard system is installed, it undergoes testing to confirm that the water it collects is correctly directed to the sump pump. WaterGuard is designed to intercept water from the surrounding damp soil before it reaches the finished area.

Preparing to Install Surface Drainage System

To install the TrenchDrain surface drainage system, the concrete near the closet was removed.

Surface Drainage System Finished Install

TrenchDrain has been installed within the foundation in front of the closet because WaterGuard installation was not feasible there. TrenchDrain gathers water from the foundation's surface and interior, and it links to WaterGuard, forming a unified pathway for water to travel towards the sump basin.

Finished Basement Wall Demolition

The bottom section of the drywall was taken out to put in the WaterGuard system. Knowing this process generates dust, we made sure to protect stored items with plastic coverings.

Perimeter Drainage System Connected to Sump Pump

The photograph depicts the WaterGuard system connected to the sump pump basin. When water accumulates in this basin, the triple-pump system is triggered to expel water from the residence.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

The TripleSafe system, featuring a trio of pumps and a battery-operated backup, ensures continuous water evacuation from your home, even amidst heavy rainfall and electrical outages.
