Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofed Basement in Des Peres

This project delivered a complete basement waterproofing and humidity control solution, integrating top-tier drainage, sump pump, and dehumidification technologies for a safer, healthier home environment. The sub-floor drainage system was installed along the basement perimeter, providing discreet sub-floor drainage that prevents water intrusion and channels moisture away from the foundation. A sump pump system was installed for enhanced flood protection, featuring a primary 1/3 hp cast iron pump, a backup 1/2 hp cast iron pump, and an UltraSump™ battery backup system.

Drainage system

The WaterGuard™ system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump.

Pump

In situations involving large quantities of water or if the main pump fails, a backup Zoeller™ ½ hp pump, positioned slightly higher in the liner, will activate to take over.

Waterproofing Installed

The WaterGuard™ system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump.

Drainage

This sub-floor drainage system is intended to be placed beneath the floor slab, sitting on the foundation footing.

Sub-Floor Drain Installed

This is what the process of installing the WaterGuard™ system looks like. The waterproofing product is buried underneath rocks, then sealed with poured concrete to give it a clean finished look.

Humidity

A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was set up next to the TripleSafe sump pump to keep basement humidity low, improving air quality and preventing moisture-related issues.

Ice Protection

The discharge line was routed to daylight, equipped with IceGuard™ to safeguard against clogs or freezing outdoors, and a LawnScape™ outlet for water dispersal at its end.
