Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Cracked and Leaking Basement Wall Repaired in Granite City, IL

Water was leaking from the basement windows in Granite City, IL, and the foundation was also cracked and leaking as well. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. 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 WellDuct was also installed underneath the basement window. This will drain water that enters the window well and will be caught by WaterGuard. Next, the PowerBrace and GeoLock Systems were installed. These will both permanently stabilize the foundation wall, return it to its original position, and keep it in place. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. The patented design of this system automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the discharge lines to a special extension sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!
