A Constant Problem in the Basement
Water would often come in the corner of the basement, even though they had previously had a system installed over 30 years ago.
Old Sump Pump
This pump is open, so it's allowing water to evaporate back into the air which is contradicting. It's valuable to you and your basement to have a sump pump that works properly.
Concrete Around Perimeter is Broken Up
The concrete around the perimeter of the basement is broken up to allow the system to be installed. WaterGuard is placed below the floor so you don't even know it's there.
WaterGuard Set In Place
A small area along the perimeter of the basement was excavated and the WaterGuard drainage system was set in place along the footing of the home. This drainage will lead straight to the sump pump.
Concrete Poured Over the System
Once the WaterGuard system was in place, we replaced the concrete, leaving only the small gap created by the drainage system along the base of the wall. This gap allows water to flow in the system and be moved to the sump pump.
An Upgraded Sump Pump
A TripleSafe sump pump system consists of 3 pumps to make sure that your home is protected at all times. 1 pump handles the brunt of the work while another pump is installed slightly higher to help remove water in the event that the first pump fails or can't keep up. A third pump runs on a battery backup and will take over if the power goes out. Your basement not only stays dry- it stays dry all the time.
