Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Replacing a Sump Pump and Waterproofing a Basement in Saint Peters, MO
Water was leaking in a basement in Saint Peters, Mo, and the sump pump was malfunctioning. To solve these issues, 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. 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!
Old Sump
This sump pump is not pumping the water out correctly.
Perimeter Drainage System
WaterGuard will catch the wall seepage and drain it to the sump pump.
New Sump System
The TripleSafe 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.
Discharge Lines
IceGuard will allow water to escape if the pipes become frozen or blocked for any reason.
Discharge Line Outlet
The LawnScape Outlet will release water far from the house without allowing other debris to enter.
