Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Basement in Mulberry Grove, IL
Water was leaking in a basement in Mulberry Grove, IL, so the WaterGuard System was 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. 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!
Perimeter Drainage System
WaterGuard will drain wall seepage without letting dirt or debris from the floor enter and clog the pipe.
Sump System
Included with the TripleSafe are two reliable cast-iron Zoeller pumps and a battery-backup UltraSump pump that will take over if the power goes out.
Discharge Lines
The patented design of the IceGuard automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow.
Underground Downspout Extension
The LawnScape Outlet will remain out of the way when it releases water away from the house.
