Wet Basement Floor
This photo was taken upon the initial inspection. As you can see, the basement floor is wet along the wall. This water can help mold grow and cause further issues with the rest of the house.
Wall and Floor before Installation
Towards the bottom of the wall and on the floor, you can see some mineral deposits, which really just shows that water had been there and dried, leaving the dirt and minerals.
Floor During Installation
This shows a little bit about the process of installing Waterguard. The perimeter of the floor is excavated enough to install the Waterguard drainage system and the rock that surrounds the "pipe".
Installed Waterguard
When we say the perimeter of the basement, we mean it. As you can see, the Waterguard goes in front of the garage door to drain out to the sump pump.
Installed SumpPump
The sump pump this customer decided to have installed was the TripleSafe sump pump. This is one of the best sump pumps on the market. It has three separate pumps and an alarm.
ThermalDry Wall and Waterguard Installed
This shows where the Waterguard was installed as well as the ThermalDry Wall.
ThermalDry Installation

ThermalDry and Waterguard
ThermalDry Wall does several things. It has three main purposes; the first is to act as a vapor barrier (like CleanSpace), the second is to redirect any water that comes through the basement walls to the Waterguard, and the final purpose it has is to help to keep heat in by creating a radiant heat barrier.

ThermalDry and Waterguard Along Basement Wall
You can almost see the whole length of the basement from this view. Both the ThermalDry Wall and the Waterguard drain run the whole length of the wall.
