Once the WaterGuard is placed in the trench area, the channel is covered with filter fabric and clean drain rock, then followed by fresh concrete. After project completion, the drainage channel is discrete and flush with the rest of the flooring. Water goes through the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump system, a cast iron 1/3 HP dual-powered pump with a third battery-backup pump in the airtight basket. The white pipes are the connected discharge line, which will guide water our away from the home to back-fill areas.
