Step One: Digging the Trench
The crew begins the waterproofing by digging a trench around the basement perimeter. Be warned: This is the loudest, dustiest part!
Signs of Water Damage
The crew snapped this before picture of the basement floor. Here, you can see that water has leaked in, carrying dirt and sediment along with it. Over time, this can damage and weaken the basement foundation and floors.
WaterGuard Installation Process
The crew installs the WaterGuard drainage pipe (gray) and overlays it with cactus board. This creates a gap between the wall and the floor, allowing water to drain into the stone aggregate and to the sump pump system.
Finished Waterproofing Results
After installing the WaterGuard drainage pipe, the crew re-concretes the floors around the basement perimeter for a seamless finish.
Finished Results: Seamless and Waterproofed!
Once the crew re-fills and concretes the trench, the WaterGuard system is nearly invisible and protects the basement against leaks and flooding.
TripleSafe Sump Pump
The TripleSafe sump pump features a 3-pump-in-1 design to protect against power outages, pump failure, and high pumping demands. The sump pump lid is tightly sealed with a patented design that allows water to enter but prevents it from evaporating back into the basement.
