Discharge Line
To drain water from the sump pump to the outside of the house, the discharge line is used along with the sump pump.
Tying Into Existing Sump Pump
Our system, along the perimeter, was tied into the current sump pump system that is in the basement.
Room to Work
Because this basement had finished walls we did have to cut to install the product. The drying concrete is where the system was installed along the perimeter. There is a very small gap between the wall and product to allow any moisture into the system below.
French Drain System
French drains are commonly used to waterproof basements. The trench contains a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from the foundation.
Close Up of French Drain
The lip you see right above the floor are wall flanges that direct moisture into the system so it doesn't get on the floor.
Job Completed
Another basement waterproofing job completed and a happy homeowner.
Where Water Leaks
Water was coming into the finished basement of this Sparta, Illinois home from the floor.
