Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Leaking Basement in Bunker Hill, IL
Water was entering a basement in Bunker Hill, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the DryTrak System was first installed. This water control system will lower the water table around the foundation, relieving hydrostatic pressure. It creates a permanent seal that will remove seepage from the floor-wall joint and direct it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. Lastly, 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will stay dry all the time!
