Area Under the Stairs Before Installation
This is an area in the basement that was heavily affected by water intrusion, mainly from the joint between the floor and wall. This can be a very serious issue, especially when it is a more finished basement like this one. If the humidity level gets high enough, mold can grow on any organic material, including drywall. Fortunately, this homeowner had not quite reached this point.
Another Area in the Basement Before Installation
Here is another area in the basement that has been affected by water intrusion. This area wasn't quite as bad as the previous photo, but the area around the joint does have some efflorescence, where water had dried and left minerals behind.
Installed WaterGuard Drain
Here is some of the installed WaterGuard drain in the basement. This is the same area that can be seen in the last picture, and while it doesn't seem like much has changed, this basement is now equipped with a system that prevents water from sitting in the basement.
Installed WaterGuard Near Stairs
Here is another view of some of the installed WaterGuard in the basement. The WaterGuard actually goes along this wall, and all the way back behind the stairs, which was shown in the first picture. This ensures that any water that makes its way into the basement gets drained out.
Crew Working on Sump Pump Installation
Here is one of our crew members working on the drain line of the sump pump. As you can see, the WaterGuard and SuperSump pump have already been installed. This is towards the end of the project, with just some minor touch-ups being done.
Installed SuperSump Pump
Here is an unobstructed view of the SuperSump that was installed in the basement. The WaterGuard goes along the perimeter of the wall, and drains straight to the sump pump. You can also see the discharge line which goes a few feet up the wall to outside of the home.
