Rainy Day Basement Systems Case Studies: WaterGuard: Basement Waterproofing in Mount Vernon, WA

Challenge

After having lived in their Mount Vernon, WA, home for 26 years. In all that time, Kay recalled only a handful of times the had basement flooded. The situation worsened when water began to leak in during heavy rains, damaging her belongings. Searching for answers, she called Rainy Day. We sent out our System Design Specialist, Ed Upenieks, to determine a long-term solution.

Solution

 Our primary way to address her basement leak was by installing WaterGuard. Our WaterGuard is a perforated drainage channel that collects water and transports it to the sump system and out safely through a discharge line.

For this project, we installed our SuperSump Plus at the low spot of the basement. A reliable sump pump is a key to keeping the area dry. It comes equipped with a 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump with a built-in alarm.

On the outside of the home, we installed IceGuard, a port to protect the line from freezing, and at the end of the line, water drains from the LawnScape Outlet away from the yard and back-fill areas. The entire system is discrete and simple, but very effective.
