Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: WaterGuard keeps Funeral Home Dry in Saint Louis

A funeral home in Saint Louis needed some major help in keeping the water out of the basement. The basement had flooded from the constant rainfall and a WaterGuard System was installed. This system is going to take all the water that comes in through the walls and drain it to the sump pump and away from the building. This system will keep this basement dryer and able to be used by the business for a long time.

Dig out is key

The first thing that need to happen in production is the dig out. Jackhammers and pike axes are used to dig through the concrete in order to put the systems in.

A trench is where the pipe goes

Once the trench is dug out we can begin to look at fitting the drainage system in the trench. The WaterGuard System needs a trench to sit in which lies right on top of the footing.

Trench is All Along the Perimeter

The entire perimeter is dug out and the WaterGuard System will be measured to make sure all the correct cuts are made.

WaterGuard Drainage in Place

Gravel is placed in the trench on the bottom and the System is placed right on top of it.

Drainage Connection to the Sump Pump

The WaterGuard System is connected to the sump pump so that all the water is sent away from the home in a sef manner to keep the basement dry.

Liner is Placed on Top

A liner is placed on top of the system to prevent water from clogging, then concrete covers the system to be complete.

Concreted Flat Over Drainage

Once everything is done, the system is concreted in flat so that the floor is back to normal.
