Photo Album: Wet Basement Solutions in Whitman, MA

This homeowner in Whitman, MA recently moved into their home that was built in the early 1900s and had fieldstone walls that let in water when it rained. Our inspector, Steve, went to the home to assess the basement and drew up a solution that would make water issues a thing of the past. On installation day, our crew started by installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the fieldstone walls to corral the water into the WaterGuard drainage system which was installed along the floor's entire perimeter to collect the groundwater as well. Our TrenchDrain grated basement drain was installed in front of the basement door that leads outside to catch surface water and it is connected to the WaterGuard drainage system. All of that water is then channeled into the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sends all of the collected water out of the basement through the two discharge lines. On the outside of the home, the IceGuard discharge line system was set up to prevent water from flooding back into the basement if a discharge line ever gets clogged or freezes in the winter. Now the homeowner can rest easy during the next rainfall.
