Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Wet Basement in Saint Louis, MO
Water was entering a basement in Saint Louis, MO, causing concern for 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. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out, and effectively pumps out the water. 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!

The TripleSafe combines three pumps in one unit to offer homeowners ultimate protection in the basement when leaks or flooding occur.
