Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Jasper, IN Discharge Line Installation

In Jasper, IN, we have experienced a lot of rain and groundwater intrusion this year. One of the most important components of a good waterproofing system is a high quality discharge line. A good discharge line needs to be constructed of a durable, rigid material that can be brought downgrade far enough from the home to insure that the water pumped out can't drain back in.

Extended Discharge Line

Here, you can see how long this discharge line is! It's vital to the performance of a system to have a long discharge line to keep the water from re-entering the basement and creating a constant recycling of the same water, which can wear out a waterproofing system.

Drainage System Installation in Progress

Once the drainage system is measured out, the installation team will commence digging out the trench, placing the soil on plastic for easy replacement, and the segments of the discharge line joined together permanently and placed in the trench.
