Evidence of Water on Walls

All the walls of this home were experiencing water trickling down them and making its way across the floor. Evidence such as this in your home is a sign that you should consider waterproofing your basement.

Trench for Discharge Line for Sump Pump

A trench was dug around the perimeter of the basement to ensure the sump pump could pump the water out of the home.

Discharge Feed Line Placed in Dug Trench

Once the trenches were dug, we place the discharge feed line in to ensure the water can exit the home.

Pebbles Placed In Trench to Ensure Proper Drainage

Small rocks or pebbles are then placed ontop of the discharge line to ensure proper drainage and separation from the concrete poured on top.

Fresh Concrete Laid to Protect Trench and Discharge Line Below

After placing the rock on top of the discharge line, a fresh pour of concrete is added to ensure that the floor is level again.

IceGuard Installed Outdoors to Ensure Proper Output of Water in Basement

IceGuard is installed on top of the existing discharge feed lines outside to provide a secondary escape route during the freezing cold of Michigan winters. When temperatures drop below freezing, the water in the discharge line can freeze, leading to backups and causing the sump pump to malfunction. By preventing these backups, IceGuard helps ensure that the sump pump continues to operate effectively.
