Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Joelton, TN

This customer in Joelton, TN, called Frontier for their basement waterproofing needs. For this project, we installed our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and a TripleSafe sump pump. We completed the project by installing IceGuard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines, as well as a LawnScape system.

Basement During Inspection

Waterlines are visible during the inspection, where water is seeping through the foundation walls. This clearly indicates that this basement is having issues with moisture control.

Excavation Process

Excavating a trench along the perimeter of the basement to get ready for the drainage system placement.

Installation Process

After the trench is dug and weep holes are drilled, the WaterGuard is ready to be installed.

WaterGuard System

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. Able to waterproof concrete block foundation walls -- Weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the blocks to drain the hollow cavities.

Sump Pump Installation Process

An area at the lowest point in the basement is excavated to place the sump pump container. Once the container is in place, the electrical components are installed. The clean gravel is placed around it.

WaterGuard Installation

After the trench is dug, the debris is cleaned up, and the WaterGuard is put into place.

CleanSpace

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

WaterGuard Install Complete

A thin layer of cement is applied over the WaterGuard system. Now everything is in place and set, and the drainage system is fully installed.

TripleSafe Sump Pump Installed

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.

The SaniDry Sedona

The Sedona easily fits in small crawl spaces, yet has a powerful blower to effectively dry large crawl spaces. Mold and mildew are common in basements, but the Sedona keeps the relative humidity below 55%, so mold won't stand a chance. As a high-efficiency dehumidifier, the Sedona removes more moisture (100 pints per day) for less electricity cost than conventional models.
