Fully Waterproofed Muskegon, MI Basement Ready for Future Rainy Season

When Vicki and Daniel contacted us it was a chore to keep their Muskegon basement dry even whilst using two (ineffective) sump pumps. The home’s basement floor had several cracks in the aftermath of a nearby chemical explosion which allowed water to seep in through several entry points. 

By the time our team arrived at Vicki’s house, the family had about 5 gallons of water seeping into their home daily. Our first priority was to stop the water from entering the basement.

We install our powerful TripleSafe sump pump. True to its reassuring name, this sump pump is literally three pumps in one casing and perfect for homes with ongoing water issues in the basement. We then dug underground to install our below-floor drain system which channels water collected from leaks through the walls and in this case, those cracks in the floor, to the TripleSafe sump pump.

Specially designed piping was then installed along the perimeter of the basement on top of the footing of the foundation. Since the piping sits on top, and not along the footing like other drainage systems, WaterGuard can’t get clogged with mud, ensuring that all water can effectively be collected and rerouted to the sump pump.

Investing in this comprehensive drainage system will not only give Vicki and Daniel peace of mind, it will make any prospective buyer very happy should they wish to sell their home in the future.
