Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Leaking Basement in Saint Louis, MO
Water was entering a basement when it rained in Saint Louis, MO, causing damage and concern to the homeowners. 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.
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 now remain dry all the time!
Water Issues
Water has been entering this basement and causing concern.
Perimeter Drain
WaterGuard was installed to fix current leaks and prevent any future water from entering the home.
Sump 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.
Discharge Lines
IceGuard will allow water to escape if the pipes freeze over or become blocked for any reason.
Discharge Outlet
The LawnScape Outlet is camouflaged, connects to the downspout, and channels water away from the foundation.
