Waterproofing Around a Hot Water Heater
A section of the basement floor is removed by a jack hammer and
Leaking over the footing
Once a section of the basement floor is removed, the water leaking between the foundation footing and basement wall can easily be seen.
Completed Protection
With the hot water heater wrapped by the waterproofing system, a leak would be collected and taken to the sump pump. It is important to have the sump pump nearby in case the leak is serious. NOTE: A RUPTURED HOT WATER HEATER RELEASE TO MUCH WATER TO BE COLLECTED. This is to help control leaks and keep the basement dry.
Outside Discharge Lines
Both sump pumps have exterior IceGUARDS™ too that prevent frozen or clogged line to back up water into the basement.
