Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Intrusion in Leicester, NC Leads to Installation of WaterGuard Drain System

Heavy rains would bring quite a bit of water into this basement. The homeowner finally had enough of the water intrusion, so they decided to look into having it fixed professionally and called All-Dry of the Carolinas to come to take a look at the basement. One of our System Design Specialists went out to the home to take a look at what needed to be done. After checking out the area our Specialist knew exactly what this homeowner needed to keep their basement dry. The system that was suggested included; WaterGuard, IceGuard, a LawnScape well, and a SuperSump Pump System. These products all work together to provide a system that keeps water out of the basement. This photo album does a great job of showing the area both before and after the system was installed.

Basement During Initial Inspection

Here is one of the areas where the water had been getting into the basement. Working around this small tiled area was not an issue for our crew once the started installing the WaterGuard. Very rarely do we have a perfectly square area to work in, so our crews are well-versed in having go around certain obstacles.

Basement Before WaterGuard Installation

Here is another area that had been affected by the water intrusion in the basement. It was difficult to see where the water had been getting through because it really only came about during heavy rainstorms. However, our WaterGuard provides an excellent defense against water intrusion.

Here is another photo of the basement while our System Design Specialist was first visiting the home.

Installed WaterGuard Drain

Here is some of the WaterGuard drain that was installed in the basement to take care of the water intrusion. The WaterGuard is installed in the floor of the basement and is then covered with fresh concrete, making it seem like we were never there!

Another Photo of the Installed WaterGuard

This shows a little longer span of the WaterGuard that was installed. WaterGuard pretty much can't be seen, except for a small gap between the floor and wall for water to get into the WaterGuard.

Installed SuperSump System and WaterGuard

This gives a further back look at the SuperSump that was installed in this basement. You can see where the WaterGuard comes in on each side and drains down into the sump pump, which is right on the corner. The discharge for the sump pump goes up a few feet until it exists through the wall.

Close Up of the Installed SuperSump

Here is a much closer picture of the SuperSump system that was installed in this basement. The SuperSump comes with a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts the homeowner if the pumps fail and the water rises too high. This photo also gives a pretty good look at the flange on the WaterGuard that leaves a small gap between the floor and wall.

Sump Pump and Discharge Line

This is where the SuperSump discharges the water from the basement. The line goes outside and away from the home so that the water doesn't make its way back into the basement. We also installed an IceGuard Dishcharge Line system to make sure that water could still be discharged even if the outside pipes froze up.
