Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Clarksville, TN

This customer in Clarksville, TN, called Frontier for their basement waterproofing needs. For this project, we installed our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and a Trench drain at the door. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump to pump water through the drainage lines, as well as CleanSpace Liner on the foundation walls. 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

During inspection, water damage is visible. Water lines can be seen on the floor where water is seeping out of the bottom of the walls, as well as mildew all over the floors and walls.

Trench Dug

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

Installation Process

Weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the blocks to drain the hollow cavities, and an area is excavated to place the sump pump container. The container is put in place first, and the components are assembled inside once it is placed.

CleanSpace Wall System

Like our other wall systems, it can prevent water vapor from 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! CleanSpace is also placed over the WaterGuard system for an added layer of protection.

TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System

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.

Trench Drain Installed

A trench drain is a linear drainage system with a narrow trench covered by a grate, designed to collect and remove surface water from large open areas like doorways. It consists of a channel, a grate, and an outlet, and it is installed at ground level to direct water to the WaterGuard system and eventually the sump pump to be pumped out of the basement.

WaterGuard Installation Complete

After the WaterGuard system is in place, covered with a layer of CleanSpace, it is covered with a thin layer of cement to keep everything in place and sealed.

IceGuard Installed

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 System

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.
