Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Leaking Basement Waterproofed in Saint Louis, MO
Water was coming down the walls of a basement in Saint Louis, MO, causing mold to grow. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water from permeating the basement walls and drain any wall leaks 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. Water was also entering the basement from the door, so the TrenchDrain System was installed to catch and drain this water before it can enter the basement. 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 and clean for years to come!
