Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing System in Livermore, KY

What's worse than a wet basement? These Livermore, KY homeowners didn't know the answer to that either. With every rainfall, water would slowly creep into their basement. They bought fans to constantly run after storms to dry up the sitting water. They chose to add optimism to the problem, believing it would either go away or fix itself, but unfortunately it didn’t happen. They had dealt with their dreadful basement for quite some time and finally decided that it was time to call for help. One of our certified Design Specialists were sent out to the home to inspect the basement and let the homeowners the best solution to keep water out. A WaterGuard system was the answer. The WaterGuard spacers against the wall make a neat finished look and keep dirt and debris from the floor out of the gap, while also directing water to the new TripleSafe sump pump. This pump takes the water out of the basement through discharge lines and away from the house. This pump even has a battery backup to kick on during times of need. Since our visit to the home, the basement has remained dry even under several local flood watches. Our customers are happy and very pleased with the work completed.
