A beautiful job of installing a Triple Safe sump pump and Waterguard system!
Water guard is a specially designed piping system engineered specifically to be a very efficient, long-lasting interior perimeter basement waterproofing system. The big difference is that the water guard sits on top of the footing, instead of alongside the footing. this is important because the wet dirt (commonly referred to as mud) can't get into the drain because the drain does not sit in the mud.
In Dover, TN, we installed a sump pump system in this homeowner's basement. When installing a sump pump system, our technicians attempt to place it in the lowest area of the basement. This allows water to flow through the perimeter drainage system and directly into the sump pump. Once water is inside the sump pump, it is pumped out through another drainage system that is dug into the yard with a drain at the end. This ensures water is moved out and away from the home.
By installing a drainage system around the inside of the basement along the wall, you can capture water at the most common point of entery, the floor/wall joint. You can also capture water from the walls and prevent the center of the floor from leaking by intercepting the water at the perimeter of the floor before it gets to the center.
We transformed this wet, musky crawlspace into a dry, insulated area using our Cleanspace Liner, SuperSump pump and Silver Glo!
