Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Clarksville, TN

This customer in Clarksville, TN called Frontier for their basement waterproofing needs. To waterproof their basement we installed a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and a TripleSafe sump pump to pump water through the drainage lines. We also installed IceGuard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines and a LawnScape system. Now their basement is dry and clean.

Before Project Begins

Obvious signs of water damage are visible with water lines on the concrete block wall and mold growth.

Excavation

An area around the perimeter is cut out to install the WaterGuard System.

Weep Holes

Weep holes are drilled into the bottom of the concrete block to all water flow into the WaterGuard system.

WaterGuard

The WaterGuard system is ready to be placed. 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.

Installation Process

After the WaterGuard is placed a layer of CleanSpace liner is placed over it before everything is sealed in.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over.

WaterGuard Installation Complete

After the WaterGuard is fully installed, it is sealed in place with a thin layer of cement. This whole system will collect the water and push it through to the sump pump, which in turn pumps it out of the basement.

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. LawnScape™ is a pipe buried from the downspout to a special LawnScape™ outlet that lets the water out onto the surface while camouflaging the end of the pipe. The lid comes off for easy cleaning.
