Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Eliminating Water Seepage in Woodland, MI Basement

These homeowners were in desperate need of a waterproof basement system. Water seepage from the front porch was leaking into the basement of this home and with an ineffective sump pump and drainage system, water would continue to occupy the space. To fully waterproof this basement we installed the WaterGuard system and inspection port, a TripleSafe sump pump, an additional discharge line, cross tile, IceGuard and a LawnScape outlet.

Water Seeping Into Basement

Water that was pooling around the porch above this basement was seeping into the space, causing water damage.

A Sump That Doesn't Pump

Unfortunately, this open-hole sump pump was simply not collecting incoming water in the basement and pumping it outside of the home. Without an airtight lid, the water sitting in this sump will evaporate into the basement, adding to the already damp space.

Keep Water Out With WaterGuard

WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement to waterproof the space by making sure any incoming water will filter in to the pipe and exit into the sump pump. The pipe is placed on top of the flooring and slightly away from the wall to prevent it form clogging with dirt and to make sure any wall leaks have room to filter into pipe.

Easy Access Inspection Port

The WaterGuard inspection port is an added benefit to this system because it allows you to easily access the system if needed.

Cover All The Bases With TripleSafe

A TripleSafe is a sump pump system with three pumps in one single liner. The first is an effective pump that will do most of the work. The second pump is placed higher in the liner and will turn on if the first pump cannot keep up with the amount of water coming in. The third pump is battery-powered to make sure your home is safe even if the power goes out.

Direct Stubborn Water With Cross Tile

Cross tile is installed under the floor and is used to direct any water from the low spots in a basement to the sump pump.

Remove Moisture With SaniDry XP

A SaniDry XP is an efficient dehumidification system that removes any water in the basement air. This dehumidifier filters the air and uses a powerful motor to blow dry air throughout the space.
