Waterproofing around a fireplace in Frontenac, MO.
Waterproofing around a basement fireplace is easier when it sits on if own footing independent of the basement foundation footing. We can place our basement waterproofing drainage system up close to the fireplace as shown in this photo.
Rear wall of the basement
Part of the rear finished basement wall was removed to instal the basement Waterguard waterproofing system in this basement in Frontenac, MO.
Waterproofing around the book shelf
On both sides of the fireplace were built-in book shelves. This normally would be an issue for our installation team because of needing that space to work with our equipment.
Working around the basement book shelves in Frontenac, MO.
Typically the thickness of the floor makes it necessary to remove the book shelves but we were able to manually get the concrete basement floor broken out to install our Waterguard waterproofing system.
2nd set of basement book shleves
Opposite this wall to the left in this photo is the closet where the sump pump is located. We were able to pass the Waterguard basement waterproofing drainage system beneath the finished wall and paneling and tie it into the sump pump for proper drainage.
Battery Back Up Sump Pump System
The TripleSafe sump pump waterproofing system was installed in this home in Frontenac, MO. The TripleSafe includes a battery back up sump pump. Since the basement was mostly finished, having a battery backup sump pump included greatly reduces any chance of having a wet basement again due to a power outage or insufficient pumping capacity.
