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, a trench drain, 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

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 Installation

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 Liner

After the WaterGuard is put in place, a layer of CleanSpace is placed on top before it is cemented in place.

WaterGuard Installation Complete

After the WaterGuard system is put in place, covered with CleanSpace, it is then cemented in place. The installation of this subfloor drainage system is now complete.

Trench Drain

A trench drain is placed in high traffic areas like doorways and other entrances and exits. The water will fall into this drain before it can enter the basement. It will lead to the WaterGuard system and then the sump pump.

After the Trench drain is put in place, a layer of cement is placed on top to secure the drain.

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.

IceGuard and LawnScape System

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