Excavation
Excavating the area around the basement perimeter where the WaterGuard will be placed.
Weep Holes Drilled
Weep holes are drilled so that the water can funnel down through the concrete block out of the holes into the WaterGuard system.
WaterGuard
The WaterGuard is starting to be placed. Our most popular drainage system, WaterGuard® is the ideal solution for most basement waterproofing applications.
WaterGuard Installation Process
The WaterGuard system 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. It is able to waterproof concrete block foundation walls -- Weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the blocks to drain the hollow cavities. It will not clog with mud -- The system sits on top of the footing, away from the "mud zone" underneath your floor. Water is collected without the risk of clogs that would halt your system.
CleanSpace®
After the WaterGuard is put into place, it is covered with a layer of CleanSpace.
Installation Process
The WaterGuard is in place, surrounded by clean gravel, and CleanSpace liner on top. The final step will be adding a thin layer of cement.
TripleSafe Sump Pump
The TripleSafe sump pump is installed. All the water from the WaterGuard system will go into this sump pump and pumped out the drainage lines away from the home.
WaterGuard Install Complete
After the installation of the WaterGuard system is complete, a thin layer of cement is installed to keep everything in place.
IceGuard and Lawnscape
Water escapes from the IceGuard® fitting only when the discharge line becomes clogged. Otherwise, water flows past the slotted openings into the drain pipe. It leads to the LawnScape shown in the photo.
Project Complete
The drainage lines are installed and buried. This make lawncare easy since it is flush with the ground. This is where all the water will be let out, far away from the structure.
