Installing Basement Perimeter Drainage
Our team began by chipping away the concrete along the perimeter to create room for the WaterGuard system. Knowing this process generates dust, we took precautions to protect all personal items stored in the basement with plastic covers. After removing the necessary concrete, we installed the WaterGuard within a bed of crushed stone. The WaterGuard system is engineered to intercept water from the wet soil around it and channel it to the sump pump, preventing any water from reaching the basement interior.
Old Sump Basin Connected to WaterGuard System
We have extended our WaterGuard system to include the old sump basin, ensuring any water that may seep through is effectively captured.
Old Sump Basin Concreted
The old sump basin was then concreted, preventing water from seeping into the basement.
Basement Perimeter Drainage Finished Installation
After testing the WaterGuard system, it was permanently set in concrete.
TrenchDrain Surface Drainage System
Because WaterGuard could not be installed at the basement entrance, TrenchDrain surface drainage was utilized instead. TrenchDrain captures water on the foundation's surface and connects to WaterGuard, forming a unified pathway for water to be channeled to the sump pump.
New Sump Pump
Our TripleSafe Sump Pump system was installed to guarantee that water is consistently evacuated from the home. With its three-pump design, which includes a battery-powered backup pump, it can handle even the most torrential downpours. Any water accumulating in the sump basin is efficiently expelled through a discharge line to a secure location distant from the home.
