Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Pelzer, SC Has WaterGuard and SuperSump Installed

This home in Pelzer, South Carolina was having water issues in their basement. To help with this problem, our Design Specialist suggested the homeowner get a SuperSump Pump and a full WaterGuard system installed. The actual installation took a few days, but after the install you could barely notice anything had changed. The only indication that there was actually something installed was the we cement along the wall. This is where we came in and made the incision for the WaterGuard. Our WaterGuard is a non-clogging alternative to other piping systems that sit in the soil and often clog. Our system sits along the wall of the basement with teeth, or wall flanges, jutting out against the surface. The Wall flanges allow water into the WaterGuard so it can then send it to the SuperSump to be pumped outside and away from the home. To keep the WaterGuard stabilized, a small slab of cement is poured along the system to match the height of the basement floor. There is no extra eyesore taking up space or jutting out. It blends right in with the cement and does the job without any fuss.

Basement Initial Inspection

Our Design Specialist scouted out the perfect spots for a WaterGuard Installation. For most WaterGuards, they need a place to empty their water. Not pictured here, is where the we will eventually install its partner, the SuperSump Pump.

Sizing Up the Space

This is another picture, in another area, showing where the WaterGuard will have to run. The length of the WaterGuard varies depending on the actual size of the basement.

Weird Travels

Not only does the WaterGuard have to travel along the wall, but it also has to meet the stairs. Luckily, to do this job, our people didn't need to move them one inch.

Yes, Even Here

The pictures that came before this one are a summary of the spaces All-Dry needed to install the WaterGuard. Our install professionals often work in spaces smaller than this, but they get the job done as efficiently as possible. Stairs are often a tight fit, but not for All-Dry of the Carolinas.

WaterGuard Install

The WaterGuard finished product is shone here. This is a continuation of the WaterGuard system we installed in the previous photo. As seen here, it doesn't take up much space and is about the size of a door frame.

Final Destination of WaterGuard

The WaterGuard system has to be installed along the entire wall to catch all excess moisture. The dark line is stark against the lighter pavement, but you can see directly where the WaterGuard is in the basement. This one was modified, as they often are, to fit this basement's particular needs.
