Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Repairing a Flooded Basement in Herrin, IL

Water was entering and flooding a basement in Herrin, IL, and the current sump pump was not pumping this water out. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. This drainage system will catch the water that leaks down the walls and will 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. 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!
