Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Troy, SC

Leaks in basements can be very detrimental to the home, fortunately, this homeowner noticed water in his basement before the problem became too much of an issue. Our Systems Design Specialist and crew were able to come out to this home and help the homeowner figure out their problem. In this home, we installed a SuperSump pump system, our WaterGuard basement drain, and a Lawnscape Well; all of which you will see in this album.

Basement Before WaterGuard and Sump Pump

This is one of the only photos that we have of the basement before our crew came in to install the products for the homeowner. While this area in particular was not the worst, you can see some areas how the wall or floor is discolored. This discoloration is caused water intrusion.

Installed WaterGuard

Here is the majority of the WaterGuard that was installed in this home. The water was really only coming through this one basement wall, which was the reason for only having the WaterGuard along one wall, rather than around the perimeter of the basement.

WaterGuard in Corner of Basement

While the water was mainly coming through one wall, the WaterGuard was laid a little further past the wall, the catch any water that may soak through around the corners. You can actually see some areas where the water has soaked through on the back wall.

Close Up of WaterGuard

This picture shows a close up of WaterGuard, and is a pretty good picture to explain how it works. It is basically a special drain that is installed into the floor (so it is less invasive), that collects the water and drains it to a sump pump. If you look closely, there is a small gap between the wall and "floor"/drain. This gap is there to catch the water as it comes through the wall and runs towards the floor. The water then drains to the sump pump.

Another View of Installed WaterGuard

Here is another view of the WaterGuard in the basement of this home. As you can see, it goes all the way down the wall, and goes around the corner until it gets close to the shelves. Again, the reason for this was to make sure that any water that soaked through to the adjacent walls, would be caught by the extra WaterGuard.

SuperSump Pump and Discharge

Here is the SuperSump pump system that was installed in this homeowner's basement. The WaterGuard that was installed drains to the the sump pump, which then pumps the water out of the white discharge line that you can see going up the wall and out into the yard.

LawnScape Outlet and Discharge

Here is where the discharge line that was shown in the last picture ended up. The small green grate that can me seen in the picture is actually where the water will come out from. The discharge line is taken out far enough so that the water won't just run straight back to the basement.
