Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: WaterGuard and Cross Tile Installed in Battle Creek, MI

The homeowner had water seeping into their basement through the concrete walls, floor cracks, and where the floor and the wall meet. The water was getting all over their floors causing water damage. The homeowners were putting their house on the market soon so they knew they needed the problem fixed. Our professional team decided that the WaterGuard long-lasting interior perimeter drainage system was the best option for these homeowners. The WaterGuard system sits on the top of the footing so no mud can clog the drainage system. WaterGuard is designed to capture floor and wall seepage before it damages your basement floor. The water enters the drainage system through inlet holes, flows through the drainage pipe, gets deposited into your sump pump, and then the sump pump removes the water from your home. Cross Tile PVC was also installed in the homeowner's basement to further ensure that the basement would stay dry. This pipe is designed to capture moisture beneath the basement floor and carry it safely to the sump pump before it has a chance to seep up through the floor cracks. The basement is now clean and dry!

Cross Tile Leads to Sump Pump

All the cross tiles installed in the homeowners basement lead to the sump pump in order for the water to be effectively removed from the home.

Drainage Stone

The system is leveled and the drainage stones are put in place around the pipes to facilitate water flow into the system. The stones also prevent the system from becoming clogged.

WaterGuard Installed

The WaterGuard longlasting interior perimeter drainage system, against the wall, was also installed. The Waterguard system will catch and floor or wall seepage and direct that water directly to the sump pump to be removed from the home.
