The drain system before was not efficient in keeping water out of the basement.
The perimeter before had water seepage where the floor meets the walls.
The team uses a jackhammer to chisel an area all along the perimeter for the installation of WaterGuard.
The team installs WaterGuard above the foundation footing to avoid clogs and then the system is secured with crushed stones and a stripe of CleanSpace before being poured with concrete.
The installation of the king (& Queen) of sump pumps, TripleSafe, is nearly complete.
The team constructs laterals to relieve hydrostatic pressure while also allowing water seepage to drain directly to the TripleSafe sump pump.
WaterGuard port is installed with WaterGuard to provide easier inspection of the system.
WaterGuard is designed to drain all leaks and ground water seepage away from the foundation floor and to the TripleSafe sump pump system.
The perimeter waterproofing is almost complete and the system runs along the entire perimeter to provide the most secure water seepage prevention.
Once WaterGuard is installed, the team pours concrete so that there is a smooth finish with the rest of the foundation floor.
The perimeter is waterproofed and ready to drain pesky water seepage to the ever efficient TripleSafe sump pump.
The team pours concrete over the laterals in the same fashion as the WaterGuard to again level with the foundation floor.
With the installation of WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump, the team made the basement dry!
Project Info

Yvonne G. from Bettendorf was unsettled with the amount of water seepage in her basement so she contacted the professionals at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team installed TripleSafe sump pump system and a WaterGuard subfloor drainage system. Yvonne finally has a dry basement!
