Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before finishing a basement, it's important to make sure it is properly waterproofed and equipped with a battery backup sump pump that is strong enough to last when needed.  Why finish a basement, and invest hundreds or even thousands of dollars to have a basement that maybe looks better, but still smells moldy and has water seeping in? Our TripleSafe® sump pump has a 1500-gallon-an-hour battery backup pump with a battery that lasts for days!

Water was coming down the walls and pooling on the floor of a basement in Frohna, MO, so the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, tuis basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

This basement was leaking, causing foundation damage and cracks in the walls. This homeowner chose to have the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system installed, which collects the water that drains along the walls and pumps it into the TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump will powerfully pump the collected water out and away from the property. This will keep the house dry and keep the foundation from failing.
