Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Leaking a Basement in Chester, MO
Water was leaking in a basement in Chester, IL, and the sump pump was not pumping the water out correctly. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. These discharge lines will allow water to escape if the pipes freeze over or become blocked for any reason. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Included with the TripleSafe are two reliable cast-iron Zoeller pumps and a battery-backup UltraSump pump that will take over if the power goes out.
Discharge Lines
The patented design of the IceGuard automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow.
