Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet, Suffering Basement in Vicksburg, MI Gets a Hand

Mike H. of Vicksburg, MI was having some serious water problems with his basement and wanted to take precautionary measures to prevent any further damage.  We installed multiple patented products of ours to help out Mike. We began by installing the WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the outside. The water that is in the drain is then redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home. As for a sump pump, for this job we installed the TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery. The cherry on top of this project was the SaniDry XP dehumidifier. The SaniDry XP is a standing dehumidifier that creates dry, clean air, reduces the risk of mold growth, never needs to be emptied, and is 10 times more powerful than traditional dehumidifiers.
