Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Damaged Basement in Carrier Mills, IL
Water was leaking near a fireplace in a basement in Carrier Mills, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it from 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. 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. This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to these systems!
