Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Beechmont, KY

This customer in Beechmont, KY, called Frontier for their basement waterproofing needs. For this project, 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.

Trench Dug

A trench is dug around the perimeter of the basement in preparation for placing the WaterGuard drainage system.

Able to waterproof concrete block foundation walls

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

Debris Removed

The debris is removed from the excavation, and the WaterGuard is ready to be placed.

WaterGuard Installation

The WaterGuard is placed, surrounded with clean gravel, and the container is set in place for the sump pump.

CleanSpace

A thin layer of CleanSpace is added on top of the WaterGuard system for an added layer of protection.

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 on top of the WaterGuard to set everything in place.

WaterGuard Install Complete

The WaterGuard system is now fully installed. Now the water will flow into this system and to the sump pump, and out of the basement.

An Escape Route

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.
