Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterguard added to Seneca Home

This home in Seneca, SC was getting moisture in their basement and called us at All-Dry of the Carolinas for help.             To fix this problem we sent our crew out to Seneca to install WaterGuard into this home’s basement.  WaterGuard is added around the perimeter of this basement, it intercepts the water and drains it unseen and safely into the SuperSump Pump where it is then flushed from the basement. WaterGuard is different because it is designed to not sit in dirt like most draining systems do. There is a special wall flange that creates space between the floor and wall allowing wall seepage to drain through the WaterGuard while keeping it away from the dirt. Since this type of drainage is separated from dirt, the chances of it clogging are nearly impossible! WaterGuard is installed by digging a trench around the perimeter of the basement. Water is then flushed into the trench to test if water will flow smoothly downwards towards the SuperSump Pump. If the water puddles instead of draining, the trench will be deepened to allow the water to flow. Weep holes are drilled into the base of the wall so that water can flow from the base of the wall into the WaterGuard instead of building up and seeping down the walls. From there the WaterGuard is placed into the trench where it is covered with concrete that makes the system invisible. The WaterGuard directs the water to the SuperSump Pump where it is then flushed from the basement outside to the LawnScape outlet. The SuperSump Pump was added to this basement as the method of removing water. The SuperSump Pump is one of the best sump pump systems that are on the market. It can pump up to 2,650 gallons of water an hour. The SuperSump also has a WaterWatch System that alerts homeowners when water rises above the point where the pump should turn on. Along with the SuperSump Pump, the homeowner purchased an UltraSump to accompany the SuperSump, which is a battery backup pump in the case of power going out. With all of these waterproofing working together it results in an All-Dry basement!
