Leaky Basement Problem
This Glen Carbon basement experienced leaks from the walls, floor, and windows.
Non-Clogging Basement Waterproofing System
WaterGuard is the non-clogging drainage system engineered for permanent basement waterproofing.
WaterGuard Installed
After WaterGuard is installed, the perimeter of the basement floor is restored with new concrete.
Damp Basement Floor
The dampness along the basement perimeter serves as evidence of groundwater seepage at the wall and floor.
Basement Wall Crack at Window
Hardly visible from this distance, a hairline crack extending from the basement window to the floor led to many leaks.
Diagonal Wall Crack
A diagonal wall crack from the corner of the basement window to the basement floor caused a wet basement many times.
Basement Window Leaks
This basement window would leak when it rained, pooling on top of the basement floor.
Basement Egress Window Installation
The old basement window was removed, and a new basement egress window with a deep RockWell window well was installed.
Basement Window Replacement
When the old basement window was removed to make way for an egress window, the crew filled the void with concrete and installed a temporary metal support to allow the concrete to cure.
Basement Egress Windows
Most building codes now require that basement egress windows be installed when the basement will be used for living space.
Rockwell Window Wells
Rockwell window wells are one-piece, durable systems that hold back heavy soil and prevent water from leaking through the well walls. They cannot rust and will stand up to extreme temperatures.
Egress Window Well Covers
A polycarbonate cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural sunlight into your basement.
Perimeter Drainage Systems Keep Basements Dry
To keep a basement floor dry from groundwater seepage, a perimeter drainage system is installed along the wall/floor seam.
Non-Clogging Basement Waterproofing System
WaterGuard is installed along the basement wall and atop the concrete footing, which keeps the interior drainage system out of dirt and prevents it from clogging with silt and mud.
Keeping Basements Dry All the Time
Keeping a basement dry under average rain conditions is the easy part. Keeping a basement dry all the time requires a waterproofing system that can handle the occasional severe weather patterns that often come with monsoon-like downpours and high winds. The TripleSafe sump pump system does just that.
TripleSafe Sump Pump System with Battery Backup
The TripleSafe sump pump system is for homeowners who want to keep their basements dry all the time with no worries. In the event one pump either fails, cannot keep up with the volume of water, or looses power, the TripleSafe saves the day with a secondary pump and an additional battery backup pumping system.
WaterGuard Installed
The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system drains groundwater in three ways. It drains water from the wall/floor joint, water seepage that may penetrate and run down the wall, and from under the basement floor—directing water to the sump pump, where it is discharge out and away from the home.
Ugly Basement Windows
Are your basement widows wells dark, rusty, wet, and filled with weeds or debris?
New Window Wells Brighten Up Basement
Metal window wells rust over time, and weeds and other debris often fill up in window well, which can cause basement window leaks. SunHouse window well enclosures provide a bright and clean replacement, complete with a top and bottom to keep out leaves and other debris.
SunHouse and WellDuct
Leaking, rusty window wells clogged with debris are no longer a problem. The SunHouse window well enclosure has a top and bottom to keep debris out while brightening up your basement space, and the WellDuct drains water building up around the outside of the window well and directs it to your sump pump.
Basement Window Drainage & Crack Repair
The WellDuct window well drainage system alleviates any rainwater buildup around the window on the exterior, and it drains water into the WaterGuard system which directs water to the sump pump.
Basement Sump Pump & Window Well Solutions
This corner of the Glen Carbon basement used to be the "problem area." Not any more! The basement now includes a drainage system to keep the basement dry, a powerful sump pump system with battery backup to keep it dry all the time, and window well solutions that keep it bright, clean, and dry.
