Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Damaging Basement Eliminated in Saint Louis, MO
Water was coming in and severely damaging a basement wall in Saint Louis, MO, so the WaterGuard System was installed. This Perimeter Drainage System will catch the water that leaks down the wall and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system 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. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. 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 restore peace of mind for years to come!
