Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: WaterGuard Installment in Spring Lake Home

Water in a basement can cause serious problems for a home. Moisture travels up through the floor, mold grows, paint peels, doors and windows stick, the list goes on and on. In a home that suffers from frequent water intrusion, one great solution to the problem is to have our patented WaterGuard French drain system installed. WaterGuard rests below the floor and on top of the foundation footing, collecting the water that drains through your basement walls and filtering it into your sump pump. This customer in Spring Arbor, MI called us to have the WaterGuard system installed and now doesn't have to worry about water problems any longer.

The Wet Beast

As seen in the photo, the original state of this basement is wet, to say the least. We are here to solve that problem with WaterGuard.

Clearing a Space

The first step in installing the WaterGuard French drain system is to jackhammer out the perimeter of the basement to provide a space for the drain to rest in.

Almost to the Finish

The actual installment of the WaterGuard drain first involves laying down drainage stones to surround the drain. We then put down the drain itself. WaterGuard rests below the floor and above the foundation footing and leads to the sump pump, emptying any water that may enter the basement.
