Photo Album: Waterproofing a Basement in Pinckneyville, IL
Water was entering a basement in Pinckneyville, IL, and was starting to cause damage. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!
Water Problems
Water has been leaking in this area of the basement when it rains.
Installing Drains
Once covered with cement, WaterGuard will be ready to drain the wall seepage.
Drainage and Wall System
CleanSpace will drain wall leaks down to WaterGuard, which will drain this water to the sump pump.
Sump Pump
Included with the TripleSafe are two reliable cast-iron Zoeller pumps and a third battery-backup UltraSump pump that will take over if the power goes out.
