Area For Sump Pump
This was the area that the crew had began to dig out in order to install the sump pump. The sump pump is an extremely important part of this system because it is how the water is removed from the basement. In this photo, you can actually see some damp areas along the walls.
Removed Concrete for WaterGuard Drain
This is what had to be done to install our WaterGuard drain system. The concrete is removed to make room for the WaterGuard to be installed in the floor of the basement. It can be seen in later photos, but after the WaterGuard is installed, our crew mixes concrete and covers the WaterGuard, making it seem as though almost no work was done.
Installed WaterGuard and Port
This photo shows off the end of the installed WaterGuard. Besides the dark color of the wet concrete, the WaterGuard really cannot be seen. Another feature of the WaterGuard is the inspection port that can be seen in this photo. The inspection port allows a technician to check for any possible blockages that may happen later on in the WaterGuard's life.
Installed Sump Pump and WaterGuard
Here is the area that was shown in the first photo of the album, but with the sump pump installed. As mentioned before, this is an extremely important part of this system. The WaterGuad drains the water to the SuperSump, which then pumps out all of the water that makes its way into the basement
Close Up of the SuperSump
This picture shows a picture closer up picture of the sump pump that was installed in this basement. We call this a sump pump, but it is more of a system by itself. The actual pump is housed inside the liner, which has an airtight lid, not letting any water or moisture get out of it. There is also a WaterWatch Alarm which will notify the homeowner if the water gets above a certain line.
