Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Updated Outdoor Waterproofing Protects Charleston, IL Crawl Space from Damage

Elise from Charleston, Illinois needed a quick, permanent solution to keep water out of her crawl space. Upon inspection, Nolan, a system design specialist, recommended installing a new discharge system with an IceGuard attachment. With a new discharge line, the crawl space sump pump will be able to pump out all pesky water leaks that may seep inside. A discharge line is a pipeline that carries water leaks outside. Attached to the discharge line will be an IceGuard attachment that will prevent the line from clogging and freezing year-round!

Protection Outside

This homeowner from Charleston, Illinois gave Woods Basement Systems a call concerned that his basement would experience water leaks inside during heavy rainstorms.

Improve Discharge Line

The home's discharge line is one way that can dictate if water is able to seep into a basement or crawl space. If a discharge line is too close to the house, water can easily leak through the soil and back into the lowest area in the home.

Updated Discharge Lines

What are discharge lines and why are they vital? Discharge lines are attached to the home's sump pump system and are used to pump water leaks outside. Discharge lines are essential to keep any basement or crawl space healthy and dry.

Extended Line

Team Woods installed a much longer discharge line that would extend the line further into the yard. The importance of extending the line is to help prevent water from leaking back into the house by directing it away from the house.

IceGuard Added

Attached to the discharge line is an IceGuard. IceGuards are used to prevent the line from clogging or freezing, no matter how harsh the weather is.

Sealed

Here is a final look at the freshly sealed discharge line with the IceGuard attachment! Now, this crawl space will be protected from the outside, just as it is in the inside.
