Before Installation: Sump Pump
Here is the sump pump before the addition of the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System.
After Installation: To the Sump Pump
WaterGuard is installed at the floor and wall joint around the perimeter of the basement. It is designed to collect both groundwater and wall leaks and then channel the water to flow directly into the sump pump. In some cases, such as this one, WaterGuard is installed away from the wall as a lateral line.
No Clogging
WaterGuard is installed below the floor, but is designed to sit up and out of dirt and silt to prevent the system from clogging. This helps the system running smoothly and efficiently.
Open Area for Opportunities
Because WaterGuard is below the floor, the space above can be used for either storage or open living space.
