Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Franklin, TN

This customer in Franklin, TN called Frontier for their basement waterproofing needs after noticing a strong musty smell. They were concerned mold was growing behind the drywall. To waterproof their basement we installed a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system, CleanSpace wall liner, 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.

Trench Dug and Weep Holes Drilled

A trench is dug around the perimeter of the basement and weep holes are drilled. These holes will help water drain from the concrete block into the WaterGuard once it is placed.

WaterGuard

The WaterGuard is placed around the perimeter and surrounded with clean gravel.

WaterGuard Installed

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.

CleanSpace® Liner

CleanSpace liner is placed over the WaterGuard before it is cemented into place.

CleanSpace® vapor barrier

CleanSpace liner is installed on the walls to create a barrier to keep out water and moisture.

CleanSpace® Wall System

The CleanSpace is installed and PowerBrace beams are installed to stabilize the wall.

TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System

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.

Project Complete

Once the CleanSpace wall system is installed as well as the WaterGuard placed a thin layer of cement is laid over the WaterGuard to keep everything secure and in place.
