Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing A Basement In Ellisville, MO
A basement in Ellisville, Illinois, had water seepage that needed to be addressed. Woods came out and first installed the CleanSpace System to trap the water coming in through the wall and drain it to a piping system down below. This system consists of a highly durable sheet of material that is placed directly on the walls. Not only does this help with the humidity, but it will serve as a path for incoming water to follow as well. The next install was a french drain system to take the water to the sump pump. The WaterGuard collects water and directs it to the sump pump nearby. Specially designed pipes are laid directly within the floor and sit on top of the soil to prevent clogging from dirt or other debris. Once these systems were placed, it was time for a new sump pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is a top of the line system. It has multiple pumps to ensure that no amount of water is too much to remove. This sump pump also includes an UltraSump, which is an extra battery-powered pump. It will activate in the event of a power outage or if the other main pump can't keep up with the influx of water. The last installation was the sump pump discharge lines. The piece directly attached to the exterior of the home is called an IceGuard System. This piping has specially designed holes to prevent issues commonly experienced with blocked or frozen pipes. With these installs in place, this home will be dry for many years to come!
