Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Ceresco, MI

The homeowners in Ceresco, MI had water seeping into their home where the wall and the floor met. So much water was coming into their basement that it started to pool on the floor causing standing water spots all over the room. Our professional team determined that the WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system and our SuperSump sump pump would be the best solutions to fix this water problem. The WaterGuard system works by collecting wall and floor seepage in its drain. The system then carries that water to the sump pump, which then removes the water effectively from the home. The SuperSump is a full featured system that includes the best components available. It includes a sump liner with an airtight lid, a floor drain, water alarm, pump stand, check valve, and an improved float valve. All of these features allow your sump pump to keep your basement dry and leave you worry free!
