Basement Waterproofing - WaterGuard Drainage System Relieves Hydrostatic Pressure in Basement in Springfield, IL

Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system in this Springfield, IL home to reduce hydrostatic pressure against the foundation walls. WaterGuard is installed under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement in the area that's most susceptible to water leaks. Unlike other systems that are notorious for clogging because they are alongside the concrete footing or on the exterior of the foundation, WaterGuard is situated on top of the footing and won't become clogged with mud or other debris. It has special wall flanges and channel holes that catch intruding water before it can enter the basement and then it guides the water to the sump system for removal.
