Photo Album: Waterguard and Zen Wall Installation in Brandenburg, KY

Water can be an incredibly destructive force--not just on canyon walls and exterior surfaces, but inside your home, too! A flooding basement can strip off paint, destroy mortor and grout, lift tiles, and more! The homeowners of this lovely Brandenburg, KY home have had to learn about the destruction the hard way--their finished basement took a turn for the worst when it flooded. Now, they have elected to install Waterguard perimeter drainage, and ZenWall to control wall moisture issues. Their basement will be dry all the time!

A reliable sump pump is a must for this Brandenburg, KY home

A reliable sump pump is a must for this Brandenburg, KY home because it's the sump pump system that removes the water from the basement and pushes it out and far away from the home. The pump basket shown here belongs to a SuperSump sump pump, which will include a battery back up and Waterwatch alarm.

Assembling the Sump Pump in Brandenburg, KY home

We've been asked a lot what the difference is between a pump you buy from a big box store and one that comes from Basement Systems. The first, and most important part, is that that our pumps don't come all assembled and fused together, they must be properly installed into the system. This allows us to replace specific components, alter the discharge system to fit the home's unique footprint, and test everything along the way.

Installing the ZenWall

Herre, you can see the completed Waterguard system, the installed sump pump, and the completed ZenWall installation. This rigid plastic wall panelling actually connects to the Waterguard system to collect wall moisture and direct it into the Waterguard system to be pumped out of the basement!
