Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Entering Through Garage Floor, Chelmsford, MA
A homeowner in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, had water coming into their garage 1-2 times a year. The homeowner was getting tired of cleaning up water from their garage. Our design specialist recommended installing a system that will collect water that entered the garage.
Our team began by chipping out a channel for our Trenchlock WaterGuard to be installed. The channel was a couple of inches wide and spanned 22' across the mouth of the garage. Next, the channel is cut straight to the back of the garage where the UltraSump was installed. Once the TrenchLock, WaterGuard, and UltraSump are installed the team set it all in concrete. The sump pump is discharged through the yard and out into the woods. An IceGuard is installed on the discharge line to prevent the line from backing up into the garage.
