Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Nashville, TN

This customer in Nashville, TN called Frontier to address issues with flooding in his basement. To fix the issue we installed a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system, with a TrenchDrain. We also installed IceGuard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines. To keep any water discharge away from the structure we installed a LawnScape Outlet. We also added a TripleSafe Complete pump system and CleanSpace on the walls. These products will greatly reduce the chance of flooding or water intrusion issues again.

Basement During Inspection

This basement had obvious signs of water intrusion. Water spots and some pooling water are visible in the photo, along with a small shop vac and dehumidifier, indicating that the customer attempted to dry it out himself before realizing he needed a more permanent solution.

Trench Dug

A trench is dug along the perimeter of the basement to accommodate the placement of the WaterGuard system.

Weep Holes

Weep holes are drilled to allow any water in the concrete block to drain out into the WaterGuard system.

WaterGuard Placed

Once the WaterGuard system is put into place around the basement perimeter, it is covered with a thin layer of CleanSpace.

Sump Pump Placement

A whole is cut out to allow for the placement of the sump pump. Once the container is placed, the components are assembled inside the container. The Sump pump is put at the lowest point of the basement to allow any water to naturally flow from the drainage system into it.

CleanSpace® Wall System

Like our other wall systems, it can hold back water vapor passing through your foundation walls, directing it to your sump pump. With anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!

TripleSafe Sump Pump Install Complete

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.

WaterGuard Install Complete

After the WaterGuard is installed and covered with CleanSpace it is cemented into place.

Project Complete

After all the waterproofing products have been installed in the basement, we make sure everything is cleaned up. This basement is now protected from future water issues and is clean and dry.

IceGuard and LawnScape System Installation

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.
