Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Basement in Charleston, MO
Water was getting into a basement in Charleston, MO, and the sump system was not pumping this water out properly. To solve these issues, the WaterGuard System was first installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. A SaniDry Sedona was also installed. This high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the basement. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the sump system, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come thanks to these systems!
Old Sump
This sump system is not pumping water out correctly and does not have a proper covering, which is allowing moisture to leak into the basement.
Perimeter Drainage System
WaterGuard will catch the water that comes down the basement walls, and lead it to the sump system.
New Sump and Dehumidifier
The TripleSafe comes with a battery-powered UltraSump that will run if the power goes out, and the SaniDry Sedona will keep the basement air dry and clean.
