Drains In Footing
WaterGuard drains were first installed in the footing of the basement walls to collect the water leaks and direct these leaks towards the sump pump.
Why WaterGuard?
WaterGuard drains are french drains that are explicitly designed to waterproof basements because they are installed in the footing of the wall. These drains give homeowners peace of mind knowing that water leaks will be collected before they can enter into the basement.
TripleSafe System
Next, the TripleSafe sump pump was installed into the basement to pump out all water leaks. The TripleSafe earned its name because the system contains three pumps that will automatically turn on if one pump fails or if the house experiences a power outage.
Wall Vapor Barrier
Finally, the CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed on top of the walls to prevent the water leaks from damaging the walls. CleanSpace also serves to direct the wall water leaks to the WaterGuard drains.
