Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing A Basement In Troy, IL
A basement in Troy, Illinois, had some water seepage in the basement. Previous water damage could be seen and the homeowners wanted the problem rectified. Woods came out and first installed drains to catch the water. The WaterGuard System collects water and directs it to the sump pump nearby. Specially designed pipes are laid directly within the floor and sit on top of the soil to prevent clogging from dirt or other debris. The next install was a new sump pump to collect and take the water far from the home. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System is a top-of-the-line system, with multiple pumps to ensure that no amount of water is too much to remove. This system also includes an UltraSump Battery Back-Up Pumping system, which will turn on and pump water out if the power fails. The last install placed were the sump pump discharge lines. The IceGuard is attached directly to the wall of the home. It has special holes to prevent issues commonly seen with frozen pipes. With these installs in place, this home should stay dry for many years to come.
