Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Granite City IL

Stronger sump pump and drainage system installed. The older pump and basemetn drainage system could no longer keep up with the water leaking into the basement in Granite City. The West side of the city has facilities along the Mississippi river so this is low flood plain area. To make sure a basement will stay dry all the time a strong sump pump system and drainage system is needed.

Pedistal Sump Pump

This style of sump pump is an average sump pump for average amounts of water and may be able to keep up with the amount of water surrounding this basement in Granite City, IL.

TripleSafe Sump Pump System

We installed our TripleSafe sump pump system which includes 3 individual sump pumps. The 2 primary pumps have their own discharge lines leading to the outside. Each with an IceGuard on the exterior of the home. The 3 sump pump for this Granite City IL home is a battery back up sump pump.

2 Exterior IceGurds

Basement Window Leaking

Water was getting in through the window framing and leaking down into the basement of this Granite City IL home

Leaking Stains

Enough water over time would leak into the basement leaving stains on the basement foundation wall.

Seepage Stains

At the base of the basement foundation wall stains were showing through the painted walls caused by water leaking in to the basement.

Adding Waterproofing Drainage System

The small section along the basement foundation wall needs to be removed to install the waterproofing system.

Waterproofing Around a Fireplace

The gray material is our WaterGuard waterproofing system. It is the equivalent of a 4 inch pipe that take water leaking in the basement directly to the sump pumps. Note that this fireplace was on its own footing so we were able to install the waterproofing system up close to the bricks.

Close Up for the Vertical Flange

The vertical flange of the one piece WaterGuard waterproofing system accepts water draining vertically down basement foundation walls or through the bricks of the fireplace

Basement Floor Thickness

Although we take out only a small section of the basement floor around the perimeter of the basement to install our basement waterproofing, the thickness of the floor varies. The thicker it is the harder it is to remove.
