Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Calvert City, KY

This customer in Calvert City, KY, called Frontier for their basement waterproofing needs. To waterproof their basement, we installed our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and a Trench drain around the doors. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump to pump water through the drainage lines. We completed the project by installing IceGuard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines, as well as a LawnScape system. Now their basement is dry and clean.

Trench Dug

A trench is dug around the perimeter of the basement to get ready for the WaterGuard installation.

Weep Holes

Weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the blocks to drain the hollow cavities.

WaterGuard Installation

The WaterGuard is ready to be placed in the trench dug out for it. After that, it will be filled in with clean gravel around the edges.

CleanSpace Liner

CleanSpace liner is placed on top of the WaterGuard for an added layer of protection.

Perimeter Covered

The entire perimeter now has the WaterGuard placed and CleanSpace liner on top. Just one more step before the waterproofing process is complete in the basement.

Trench Drain

A Trench drain is installed in high-traffic areas, like this door. That way, if you need to enter or exit, water will be caught in the Trench drain and channeled into the WaterGuard system.

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.

Cement Added

A thin layer of cement is added over the WaterGuard and CleanSpace to complete this installation.

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.
