Before Basement Waterproofing
This unfinished basement would leak during rainy days.
Before Basement Waterproofing
Despite replacing the sump, the problem persisted.
Before Basement Waterproofing
Wet, unsealed spaces are quite inviting to outside critters.
Before Basement Waterproofing
The leak was coming from the space between the wall and footing. They also had iron ochre, a gelatinous orange bacteria that grows and can clog systems.
Before Basement Waterproofing
At one point, the homeowners said they had up to two inches of water in their basement. They were looking to fix it so they could finish the space and make it dry and usable.
During Basement Waterproofing Installation
We broke up the concrete along the perimeter of the basement to create trenches for our drainage system.
During Basement Waterproofing Installation
The trenches were to install WaterGuard I.O.S. (Iron Ochre System), which is our perforated drainage channel. WaterGuard I.O.S. has increased access and flush ability to address the iron ochre problem now and in the future.
During Basement Waterproofing Installation
We installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System for maximum protection against flooding. TripleSafe is airtight and comes with three pumps in one, so it can handle a high volume of water with ease and reliability.
After Basement Waterproofing
The homeowners did some finishing after we installed their drainage system for their basement, then we came back a few months later to install our ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring.
After Basement Waterproofing
Since the floor is made of inorganic material, it is not susceptible to mold or water damage.
After Basement Waterproofing Installation
The flooring material also helps to insulate the basement floors by creating a thermal break.
After Basement Waterproofing Installation
Having waterproof flooring reduces the risk of damage from water.
LawnScape Outlet
Water drains out from the sump through to an exterior discharge line through this LawnScape Outlet.
IceGuard
To prevent the discharge line from freezing and causing a flood, we installed our IceGuard, exclusive to Basement Systems dealers.
