Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Bloomingdale, MI Basement Says Goodbye to Water Issues

Every time it would rain hard, water would come in through the walls of this basement, and would run down and across the floor. After experiencing some amount of water in their basement for 20 years, the homeowners decided it was time to put an end to everything and install and waterproofing system so the space would be dry and more usable.

Trench for WaterGuard

A space is dug out along the footing of the foundation around the perimeter of the room to allow a space for WaterGuard.

WaterGuard Installation

Specially designed piping is placed in the trench, on top of the footing of the foundation to collect water from wall leaks. Since it doesn't sit alongside the footing, it won't get clogged with mud.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

This sump pump has three pumps contained within the liner, including a battery operated pump, so it can handle large amounts of water. It not only collects groundwater, but also the water collected by the WaterGuard system.

Finished WaterGuard

WaterGuard has a seamless finish, and is almost undetectable. Yet the small space between the floor and the wall is just enough to collect water from wall leaks.

IceGuard and LawnScape

Water is pumped out of the basement through the TripleSafe sump pump, and the water is discharged away from the home through this line. The line will be buried and will escape through the LawnScape outlet, eliminating an eyesore and tripping hazard. The white IceGuard fitting prevents the discharge lines from freezing or clogging with ice and snow in the winter.

SaniDry Basement Dehumidifier

The SaniDry dehumidifier wrings the air of moisture allowing clean, dry air to circulate up throughout your home instead of damp, potentially moldy air.

Finished Waterproofing System

TripleSafe and WaterGuard work to collect water from wall leaks and eliminate the water from the basement, making this basement dry and usable once again.
