Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Nashville, TN

This customer in Nashville, TN, called Frontier for their basement waterproofing needs. They had an issue with excessive moisture, causing mold growth. To fix this issue, we installed our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and a TripleSafe sump pump. 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. These products will significantly reduce the likelihood of future moisture issues.

Basement During Inspection

Moisture is an issue in this basement as seen by the mold growing on the block walls.

Trench Dug

A trench is dug and an area dug out to install the TripleSafe sump pump. Weep holes are also drilled to let water out of the concrete block walls into the drainage system.

Placing the WaterGuard

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.

CleanSpace

After the WaterGuard is put into place, it is covered with a layer of CleanSpace.

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.

WaterGuard Installation

The WaterGuard is completely in place around the perimeter of the basement, leading to the sump pump.

Final Step

The final step in the WaterGuard installation is a thin layer of cement is applied on top of the entire system.

Interior Waterproofing Complete

The interior waterproofing is now complete, and the drainage lines are connected. The next step is connecting the line on the exterior of the basement so the water can flow out of the basement.

IceGuard and LawnScape System

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.
