Wet Basement
Water intrusion was observed in the corner of the basement, where a desk area had been set up. This workspace was at significant risk of damage due to moisture infiltration. To prevent costly repairs and protect the integrity of the space, the homeowner prioritized implementing a waterproofing solution before finishing the basement. This proactive approach ensures a dry, secure environment suitable for a fully finished living area.
Basement Drainage System
To install our WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system, we removed a section of concrete along the basement's perimeter. This advanced system is designed to intercept groundwater at its entry point, preventing moisture from reaching the basement interior. Collected water is efficiently directed through the drainage channel to the sump pump, where it is safely discharged away from the home.
Drainage System Concreted into Foundation
Following a successful flood test to confirm optimal drainage performance, the WaterGuard® system is permanently integrated into the foundation with a concrete seal. This ensures a clean, durable, and unobtrusive finish that blends seamlessly with the basement floor.
Battery Backup Sump Pump
The UltraSump® system is engineered to provide dependable basement water management. It incorporates a high-capacity primary pump along with a battery-powered backup pump, ensuring continuous operation and effective water removal even during power outages. This dual-pump configuration delivers superior protection against flooding under all conditions.
Reliable Discharge Line
Water is discharged from the home through a dedicated outlet line. To safeguard against potential blockages or freezing within this line, an IceGuard® anti-freeze device is installed. This fail-safe mechanism ensures uninterrupted water evacuation by providing an alternate escape route, maintaining system reliability under adverse conditions.
Bubbler Pot
A bubbler pot is installed at the termination point of the discharge line to facilitate controlled dispersion of water into the surrounding soil, effectively preventing surface saturation and pooling. The discharge line is then buried below grade, ensuring long-term functionality while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive landscape appearance.
