Basement Waterproofing
During inspection half the laminate flooring has already been pulled up because the customer already noticed water seeping through the baseboards under the laminate wood flooring.
Water Intrusion
After the flooring was pulled up water can clearly be seen coming into the basement from the bottom of the floor.
More Water Present
When your home was built, the contractors designing it never meant for the basement to be a damp, musty, flooding space. But as time and the forces of nature continue to bear down on your foundation, it's bound to leak sooner or later.
Trying The DIY Method
This customer was trying to dry the area out themselves with a fan. This will not alleviate the issue.
Downspout Extender
Another DIY method this customer tried to use was a downspout extender. Sometimes this can help direct water away, but if the basement is overwhelmed with water this will not be enough of a solution.
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.
LawnScape System
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.
New Drainage Lines
To add the greatest beauty and appeal to your landscaping, consider installing our LawnScape™ Outlet as an underground extension to your downspouts. Its green color blends in with your lawn and lawn mower traffic won't hurt it. A buried pipe directs water away from your home and onto the surface through the special LawnScape™ outlet. The lid comes off easy for cleaning.
IceGuard Installed
Water escapes from the IceGuard® fitting only when the discharge line becomes clogged. Otherwise, water flows past the slotted openings into the drain pipe.
IceGuard and LawnScape System
After the IceGuard and LawnScape system is installed it is buried flush with the ground, far from the structure in order not to seep back in through the foundation.
