Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Clarksville, TN

This customer in Clarksville, TN, called Frontier for their basement waterproofing needs. To waterproof their basement, we installed a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage and a TripleSafe sump pump to pump water through the drainage lines. We also installed trench drains where vehicle and foot traffic enter. We finished the project with an IceGuard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines and a LawnScape system.

Trench Dug

A trench is dug around the perimeter of the basement to place the WaterGuard drainage system.

Weep Holes

Weep holes are drilled into the concrete block above the trench so water can seep through the wall down into the drainage system.

WaterGuard Placed

Our most popular drainage system, WaterGuard® is the ideal solution for most basement waterproofing applications. Unlike old-fashioned drain tile systems installed on the outside of the home, WaterGuard® is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor.

Trench Drain

A Trench drain is installed in the areas where we cannot get to the wall, like in this basement around the water heater.

CleanSpace Liner

CleanSpace liner is added on top of the WaterGuard before it is cemented in place.

Sealing Process

The concrete is being added over the WaterGuard to seal it into place.

Cement Added

The WaterGuard has now been cemented in place.

Trench Drain Installed

The trench drain is fully installed and cemented into place.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over.

IceGuard and LawnScape

Water escapes from the IceGuard® fitting only when the discharge line becomes clogged. Otherwise, water flows past the slotted openings into the drain pipe. LawnScape™ is a pipe buried from the downspout to a special LawnScape™ outlet that lets the water out onto the surface while camouflaging the end of the pipe. The lid comes off for easy cleaning. LawnScape™ is best used for downspout extensions over 8' long.
