Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Nashville, TN

This customer in Nashville, 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 they can enjoy all the extra livable space with a dry basement.

Trim Removed

Trim is removed in preparation for the installation of the WaterGuard drainage system.

Trench Dug

A trench is dug out around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard will be placed here and this whole system will lead any water to the sump pump to be pumped out of the basement.

Weep Holes

Weep holes are drilled into the wall so water can seep out into the WaterGuard system once it is put in place and sealed.

WaterGuard Placed

Our most popular drainage system, WaterGuard® is the ideal solution for most basement waterproofing applications. 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

A layer of CleanSpace liner is placed over the WaterGuard system after it's put in place.

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.

Cement

The WaterGuard system is fully installed after a layer of cement is placed on top.

Basement Waterproofing

This waterproofing of this basement is complete. The cement has dried and the drainage lines are connected to the sump pump. Now this customer can put all their items back into the basement and use it as a livable space.

LawnScape System

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. LawnScape™ is best used for downspout extensions over 8' long.

IceGuard

Water escapes from the IceGuard® fitting only when the discharge line becomes clogged. Otherwise, water flows past the slotted openings into the drain pipe.
