Whenever it would rain, the basement would get water intrusion where the walls meet the foundation floor.
The basement before was damp and was in need of some waterproofing system.
Laterals are constructed to relieve hydrostatic pressure and drains rising ground water to the local sump pump.
WaterGuard is a patented system that is designed to drain wall leaks and rising groundwater to the local sump pump.
WaterGuard is installed on top of the foundation footing to prevent clogging.
Now that the basement has WaterGuard, it has a better chance against wall leaks from heavy rains.
TrenchDrains are designed to drain leaks in areas outside of the perimeter.
UltraSump is a battery back-up system which activates when the power goes out!
Project Info

Kelly and Barbara G. from Macomb reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems because they noticed water continuously in the basement whenever it would rain. The team waterproofed the perimeter with WaterGuard and installed a back-up battery pump, UltraSump. Kelly and Barbara have a basement better prepared for the rainy season.
