Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: WaterGuard installed in damp basement hallway in Greenwood, SC

This is yet another home in Greenville, SC that had a basement with water seeping into it. This is another prime example of hydrostatic pressure forcing water through the walls of basements. The renter or this property called us at All-Dry of the Carolinas where we sent out our design specialist, Alex Rogers to check out the problem. Once Alex got to the home he saw that water had been leaking down the walls of the basement. This basement needed a combination of WaterGuard, CleanSpace wall and a SuperSump pump to take care of their problem.             The perimeter was jackhammered down to the footing of the basement. WaterGuard, which is an interior waterproofing drainage system, is then installed in the trench that had been created by the jack hammer. WaterGuard is placed into the trench, with its 3/8’ wall flange against the wall, and angled in a downward slope so that water can flow towards the SuperSump pump that was placed in the basement. Once in the correct position, the WaterGuard is covered with gravel to keep make the drainage system stable. CleanSpace Wall is then tacked on the wall and tucked in behind the WaterGuard wall flange so that any wall water seepage will be pushed straight into the drainage system and into the sump pump. Once the CleanSpace wall is in place behind the WaterGuard, the WaterGuard is then covered with cement which evens out the floor and makes the system invisible.             The WaterGuard is connected to the SuperSump pump so any water can be drained into it. The sump pump will flush the water out once it reaches a certain spot. When the sump pump flushes the water, it goes through a piping system and through the LawnScape outlet where the water flows into the yard away from the home.
