Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Entering the Basement During Heavy Rain, Hampton, NH
A homeowner in Hampton, New Hampshire, had water entering their basement during heavy rains. Water would collect on the tile floor in the basement. The homeowner would like to prevent any more water from entering their basement. Our design specialist recommended installing WaterGuard, a SuperSump, and IceGuard in the basement.
Our production team first began by scoping out where they were going to install the WaterGuard, and SuperSump in the basement. The team started by chipping out a section of the floor to place the WaterGuard and SuperSump into. Any water that comes down the foundation wall or seeps up from below that section of wall is collected by the WaterGuard. The water collected in the WaterGuard was directed toward the sump pump that was installed. Our team connected the SuperSump to the WaterGuard so any water collected in the WaterGuard will be guided to the sump pump basin. To move the water out of the basement the team needed to guide a drainage line to the exterior of the home. The team used a core drill to make a hole in the wall. The hole is just big enough to fit our drainage line. Attached to the drainage line is an IceGuard to prevent water from backing up into the basement.
