Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Leaking Basement in Springfield, IL
Water was entering a basement in Springfield, IL, causing issues and concerns. To fix this, the TrenchDrain System was installed. This surface drainage system will catch the water that leaks before it can enter too far into the basement. The WaterGuard System will also help carry this water as well as any that leaks down the walls and guide it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system will drain water from the WaterGuard and from below the basement floor and will discharge out of the house. It also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Additionally, 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 restore peace of mind for years to come!
