Unfinished Concrete

Busy intersection
This one corner of the basement has the exterior entry, sump, and stairs leading up to the home all in one crowded area. Not to mention the lowest area of the basement.
Below Grade Entry
The exterior door to this basement is not only below grade but has a stair well that directs rain and ground water to it.
Perimeter Trench
A trench is dug around the interior perimeter to place the WaterGuard drainage system. WaterGuard is a patented drainage system that collects water and directs towards a sump pump system.
CleanSpace Wall
The CleanSpace wall system is a plastic vapor barrier that covers the wall allowing moisture to run behind and collect in the DryTrack system below.
Discharge Lines
The water from the sump will be pumped out through a buried discharge line ending further away from the home and its foundation.
Sump Pump System
This TripleSafe sump pump system sets flush with the floor, housing an M53 Zoeller sump pump.
Trench Drain
A 3' trench drain is installed inside the exterior entry to collect any water coming from the outside stair well. The trench drain collects the water and sends it on to the sump pump.
CleanSpace Wall Liner
CleanSpace wall liner is also a perfect solution for those less-than-square basement areas. The 20mil plastic liner is a vapor barrier that also acts as an insulator.
Inspection Port
The WaterGuard Port allows for easy access to inspect and flush out WaterGuard system as needed.
Stairs lead down to the basement.
The stairs that lead down to the exterior entrance of the basement while also providing a perfect tunnel for rain water.
Storage, Utility, Gym
