Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Leaking Basement in Saint Louis, MO
Water was entering a basement in Saint Louis, MO, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage 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. 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!
Water Issues
This basement has been having water issues.
Perimeter Drain
WaterGuard will catch the water that leaks down the walls and guide it to the sump pump.
Sump Pump
The TripleSafe can handle a large amount of water, thanks to a secondary pump that will assist with pumping water if the first one is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it.
Discharge Lines
IceGuard will allow water to escape if the pipes become frozen or blocked for any reason.
Discharge Outlet
LawnScape will release water far from the house, so it doesn't re-enter the basement.
