Trench Dug
A trench is dug around the perimeter of the basement to prepare to install the DryTrac drainage system.
Weep Holes
Weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the blocks to drain the hollow cavities.
TripleSafe Sump Pump
An area is excavated at the lowest point in the basement to place the container for the sump pump system.
DryTrak® Monolithic Floor Drain
As a baseboard drainage system, DryTrak® installs above the floor and along the inside perimeter of the basement.
CleanSpace® Wall System
Like our other wall systems, it can hold back water vapor 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 Liner
CleanSpace liner is placed over the drainage system for an added layer of protection.
Installation Complete
A thin layer of cement is added on top of the drainage system to seal everything in place.
TripleSafe Sump Pump Fully 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.
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.
Project Complete
The IceGuard and LawnScape systems are buried flush with the ground, and now this project is complete.
