Photo Album: Waterproofing Basements in Kalamazoo, MI

Water was entering Cassie’s basement where the floor meets the wall. To fully waterproof her basement, our team installed WaterGuard, TripleSafe and IceGuard. These three items will each play a large role in keeping Cassie's basement dry. The WaterGuard system will catch any leakage from higher walls and floors. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that is battery powered so Cassie won't need to worry about her basement flooding during power outages. Lastly, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when it is frozen. Installing these three pieces will keep Cassie's basement dry no matter what weather her house encounters.
