Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Holland, MI Basement Waterproofed with WaterGuard

Water in the basement had been an ongoing issue for these Holland, MI residents. With no waterproofing system in place, this water didn't have any place to go, leading the homeowners to tackle the situation, mops in hand. Installing WaterGuard and sump pump in this basement ensures that all leaks from wall cracks will be collected and efficiently pumped out of the basement, keeping it nice and dry.

WaterGuard Installation

WaterGuard is installed on top of the footing of the foundation instead of along so that that it will never get clogged with mud.

Finished WaterGuard

WaterGuard is barely noticeable once it's installed, but the small space between the wall and the piping makes a huge difference, allowing wall leaks to drain directly to WaterGuard.

IceGuard

The IceGuard fitting on the discharge line prevents the pipe from freezing and the outlet from getting clogged with snow and ice, allowing water to constantly flow out of the space, no matter the season.

Signs of Water

The sad mop bucket in the corner of the room shows that this basement has been no stranger to water. You can even spot some small cracks in the cinderblock where water is likely entering the space.

SuperSump

The installation of a SuperSump pump makes sure that the water collected by WaterGuard is pumped out of the basement and away from the home through a discharge line.
