Photo Album: Adapting WaterGuard™ to Fit the Project

Many waterproofing systems are only able to be installed in specific circumstances or in specific locations. While no waterproofing system will be the perfect solution 100% of the time, WaterGuard™ is a waterproofing solution that can be adapted to be used in many different circumstances and locations.    In this home in Chesterfield, MO. WaterGuard™ was used around much of the perimeter to protect the basement from outside water leaks. The system was adapted to fit in many areas and situations. WaterGuard™ typically sits against the wall, where it can not only collect water from below the floor, but also from leaks through the wall (if there are any) thanks to its wall extension. In some areas WaterGuard™ could not sit against the wall and so a different type of drainage pipe was needed. A filtered pipe was installed in the trench to connect the WaterGuard™ systems on either side of the gap as well as collecting water that might rise into the trench from below.    This extra pipe was used around exterior doors and a fireplace as well as near walls where WaterGuard™ wouldn't be able to be installed on top of the footing. The pipe would collect water from below the floor and carry it to the sump pump system to be removed from the home.    Even in areas where the WaterGuard™ lines can't be used, Woods Basement Systems is able to install a waterproofing system that connects with WaterGuard™ to offer the best possible protection. While this home offered unique challenges for waterproofing systems, WaterGuard™ was able to be adapted and tied into other systems to protect this basement.
