Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Nashville, TN

This customer in Nashville, TN called us out after a water intrusion in their basement. We cut out all the drywall and found that the main sewer line had a big crack 1/4in thick running down the pipe. The customer called a plumber to fix that issue first. Once that was taken care of we came back out to waterproof the basement. We installed a trench drain in the entrance where all the foot traffic comes through. We then installed a WaterGuard subfloor drainage system around the perimeter. Now all issues are fixed and the basement is clean and dry.

Excavation

The perimeter where the WaterGuard will be placed is excavated to make room for installation.

Weep Holes Drilled

Weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the blocks to drain the hollow cavities.

Installation Process

Unlike old-fashioned drain tile systems installed on the outside of the home, WaterGuard® is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor.

WaterGuard Placed

The WaterGuard includes wall flange with 3/8" opening to collect water from walls -- There's no gap on the basement floor to let humidity into the space or to collect debris.
