Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Basement in Poplar Bluff, MO
Water was leaking in a basement in Poplar Bluff, MO, and the homeowner wanted it to be completely waterproofed. First, the WaterGuard System was 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. Additionally, a TrenchDrain System was installed along the perimeter of the basement. This will catch and drain water before it can enter too far into the basement. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. The patented design of this system automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the discharge lines to a special extension sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!
