Getting Started with Waterproofing
We first dug up a thin trench along the foundation walls where the WaterGuard would sit.
WaterGuard Installed
Once the WaterGuard was installed, we covered up the trenches which all lead out to our Sump Pump System which pumps the water from the drains out of the house.
Cement Covering WaterGuard
To create a smooth, even floor in the basement that would potentially be finished, we covered the WaterGuard back up with a smooth layer of cement.
Drain Against Foundation Walls
In order to fully waterproof your basement, the drain should be installed along the entire perimeter of the basement as we did here.
Fully Waterproof Basement
Now that the customer has the entire perimeter of the basement lined with WaterGuard and hooked up to the Sump Pump, the basement will stay dry all of the time.
