Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water in Garage Repair in Acton, MA

The homeowner in Acton, MA faced groundwater intrusion and a leaking crack in their garage. Notice in the photo, before our intervention, water compromised the site's usability. We solved this by applying FlexiSpan for crack repair and CleanSpace to prevent moisture migration. WaterGuard was installed against the leaking wall to ensure seamless drainage, and TrenchDrain connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump was positioned at the garage entrance. As you can see, the effective waterproofing measures ensure long-lasting protection.

Wet Garage

Water intrusion was observed through the garage slab-to-wall cold joint, placing stored belongings at risk of moisture damage.

TrenchDrain

We began the installation by implementing a TrenchDrain system at the garage door threshold to intercept and capture surface water before it could enter the garage.

Feed Line

Water intercepted by the TrenchDrain system was routed through a dedicated feed line and discharged into the sump pump system, where it could be safely removed from the garage environment.

TrenchDrain System Concreted

Upon successful completion of flood testing, confirming proper system performance, the drainage assembly was concreted in place and the garage floor was restored with a seamless finish.

WaterGuard

To address water infiltration along the foundation wall, WaterGuard® was installed at the footing level where it effectively intercepts groundwater and sub-slab moisture before it can enter the basement living space. The collected water is then conveyed through the WaterGuard system and directed to the sump pump liner, where it joins the drainage feed line for efficient removal from the structure.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

The TripleSafe® sump pump system is designed to deliver dependable water management under a wide range of conditions, utilizing redundant pumping systems and battery backup technology to protect the basement from water intrusion even during severe weather events or electrical outages.

IceGuard

An IceGuard® discharge fitting was incorporated into the sump pump discharge line to safeguard against discharge line freeze-ups. In the event that the exterior piping becomes blocked by ice, IceGuard® automatically allows water to discharge from the fitting, preventing system backup and reducing the risk of water intrusion into the home.

Garage Wall Crack

A structural crack in the garage foundation wall served as a pathway for water infiltration, causing moisture accumulation and puddling on the basement floor.

FlexiSpan

FlexiSpan® was installed over the foundation wall crack to permanently manage water intrusion. Its flexible sealant and integrated drainage components work together to capture any seepage and direct it away from the basement, helping keep the space dry and protected.

CleanSpace

To provide enhanced moisture protection and improve the finished appearance of the repair area, CleanSpace® was installed over the FlexiSpan® system. This durable vapor barrier helps isolate moisture from the interior environment while creating a clean, finished aesthetic along the garage wall.
