Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Leaking Basement in Alton, IL

Water was leaking in a basement in Alton, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, a partial CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will act as a drain curtain that will make sure that water can drain directly into the WaterGuard System. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, due to the larger basement, the homeowners decided to install two TripleSafe Sump Pumps. These systems assure 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 that 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. This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to these systems!
