Failing Sump Pump

The malfunctioning sump pump compromised the basement's protection against leaks and flooding. Observe the water damage surrounding the sump pump on the basement floor.

WaterGuard

Concrete along the basement perimeter was excavated to install the WaterGuard system. WaterGuard intercepts water before it enters the basement space and channels it to the sump pump for removal from the home.

WaterGuard Concreted

After the WaterGuard system undergoes flood testing to confirm proper drainage, it is securely cemented in place. The concrete is finished to grade, ensuring a level basement floor.

TrenchDrain

TrenchDrain, a surface-style drainage system, was employed to capture water at the basement door entrance. This system integrates seamlessly with WaterGuard, creating a unified pathway for water to be directed to the sump pump.

Drainage System Tied Into Sump Pump

WaterGuard integrates seamlessly with the sump pump basin, ensuring efficient water removal from the basement.

TripleSafe Sump Pump and SaniDry XP Dehumidifier

The TripleSafe Sump Pump system consists of three pumps: a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery-powered backup pump. This configuration guarantees reliable water removal, even during power outages. The SaniDry XP is a powerful dehumidifier that reduces moisture levels and filters clean, dry air throughout the home. This dehumidifier effectively mitigates mold growth, wood rot, and musty odors.

IceGuard

Water is expelled from the home via a discharge line. As the discharge line exits the home, IceGuard is installed to prevent freezing. The IceGuard system ensures continuous water flow during freezing temperatures, preventing ice blockages in the discharge line. This eliminates the risk of the waterproofing system backing up and flooding the basement.
