Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Leaking Through Walls Eliminated with WaterGuard in Granite City, IL Basement
Water was leaking through the walls in a Granite City, IL basement, and pooling onto the floor. To solve this issue, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This is an economical way to cover ugly walls, stop water vapor from permeating them, and drain wall leaks. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any water that does leak down the walls will be caught by WaterGuard. This perimeter drainage system will intercept the water and guide it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This sump system assures protection from all three problems that can occur with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a second pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. These discharge lines will allow water to escape if the pipes freeze over or become blocked for any reason. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the downspout to a special extension sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come thanks to these systems!
