Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Saving Wet Basement, Clarksville, TN

Homeowners of this house in Clarksville, TN noticed water inside of their basement after each rain. The walls stayed moist and started growing mold in some places. They were referred Frontier by a friend, and because they liked we are family-owned company with a good reputation for 22+ years, they didn't have to keep deciding any longer. After the initial free inspection, when they discussed possible waterproofing solutions for their wet basement with our design specialist Brandon, we were ready to start working on this project. We installed our waterproofing system consisting of WaterGuard, TripleSafe sump pump and a dehumidifier. Ever since, this basement is staying dry during heavy rains and homeowners can finally have a peace of mind.

Wet Basement

When it rains, water falls down these steps and gets to the basement.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pump is locate in the lowest spot of the basement, in the corner, so it can use rules of physics- water flows downhill, so it will all end up in the sump pump.

WaterGuard System

After the WaterGuard is installed, we cover it with layer of concrete.

Block Removal

We had to remove a section of the wall to get to the other side and install the WaterGuard system.

Accessing pipes

We install access points in the corners so we can get inside of the pumps if they needed to be cleaned in the future.

TrenchDrain

TrenchDrain collects water that gets into the basement and is used in high traffic areas, for example in a doorway.

Dehumidifier

SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier will keep the moisture of this basement at normal levels.

Sump Pump Keeps Basements Dry

Sump pump collects water and pumps it out of the basement. If the level of water was too high, an alarm will get loud to alert the homeowner to check the system.

Water Escapes in the Yard

IceGuard is installed on the outside basement wall and connected to a drain pipe which leads water from the basement to LawnScape Well, where it escapes. We install it at least 8 feet away from the house to make sure water won't return back to the basement through soil underneath.

Invisible Well

After the pipe is buried, all you can see is the green well, which blends in with the lawn, so you can barely see it. We designed it to not be an eyesore.
