Water Seeping into Finished Basement Space
Water infiltrated the unfinished section of the basement, which was used for storing personal belongings. As the situation deteriorated, water began to penetrate the finished basement area as well. Faced with potential damage to personal items, flooring, and drywall, the homeowner sought a permanent solution to ensure peace of mind and prevent future water intrusion.
WaterGuard
WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the foundation walls. This advanced basement drainage system intercepts water before it can enter the basement, channeling the collected water to the sump pump system for efficient expulsion from the home.
SuperSump Sump Pump System
The SuperSump Sump Pump system is engineered to handle substantial water influx, providing superior protection against heavy storms and snowmelt. By integrating an efficient drainage system with a dependable sump pump, the homeowner can be assured that both the finished and unfinished areas of the basement will remain consistently dry.
IceGuard
The sump pump expels water from the basement via a discharge line. As this line extends to the exterior of the home, IceGuard is installed as a precautionary measure to ensure water can flow freely during unexpected blockages, typically caused by ice formation in freezing temperatures. While such occurrences are rare, IceGuard offers enhanced protection against backups, significantly reducing the risk of basement leaks and flooding.
Bubbler Pot
A bubbler pot is installed at the terminus of the discharge line to facilitate more efficient water drainage into the soil. The discharge line's endpoint is strategically positioned to ensure water does not flow back towards the foundation. Additionally, the discharge line is buried to maintain the lawn's aesthetic appeal.
