Photo Album: Water Coming into a Basement in Evansville, IN

An apartment building that sits on a hill in Evansville, IN would have water run into the basement each time it rained. The owner was interested in waterproofing the basement, which was also a garage. Waterproofing the space would give the renters and the owner peace of mind that the building is safe for storage in the future. If this issue was not dealt with, it could have had mold, leading to bigger problems that would affect health. Water that was entering the basement needed a system that would direct it back outside without damaging the space. This is where the WaterGuard system comes into play. The WaterGuard sits on the top of the footing, instead of alongside it, which makes it more effective compared to clay or plastic pipes. If a drainage system is too deep, not only does it have a greater risk of clogging, but soil from underneath the foundation can wash into it and leave voids, which can cause the settling of your foundation.  The TripleSafe sump pump was installed into the ground to collect water from the WaterGuard. The TripleSafe will then pump the water out and away from the home. This effective system left the owner and renters worry-free!
