Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Rutland, MA Wet Basement Solutions
A homeowner in Rutland, MA had a lot of flooding in their basement after the last big storm we had so they gave us a call to see how we could help them. One of our inspectors, Benny, went to the home to take a look and drew up a solution that would keep the basement dry no matter how hard it rained. Kervin, one of our foremen, and his crew got to work on installation day. Around the entire perimeter of the basement floor, the crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system and at the base of the stairs that lead outside, they put our TrenchDrain grated basement drain to catch surface water. The WaterGuard and TrenchDrain are connected and channel the water they collect into the sump pump system. The crew set up our SaniDry XP dehumidifier in the basement to control humidity and it drains itself into the WaterGuard drainage system. The SuperSump Plus sump pump was installed in the lowest point of the basement floor and sends all of the collected water out through the discharge line system. The IceGuard discharge line system was installed on the outside of the home to prevent flooding from a clogged or frozen line. With DryZone's products in place and working together, the homeowner can feel confident that they won't be finding water in their basement again.
WaterGuard and WaterGuard Port
The WaterGuard drainage system is installed around the entire perimeter of the basement floor and covered in fresh concrete. The WaterGuard Port is left visible to provide access to the drainage system.
CleanSpace & WaterGuard Protecting the Oil Tank
It's very important to keep the oil tank safe from water so our crew lined the floor beneath it with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and installed our WaterGuard drainage system carefully around it.
SaniDry XP Dehumidifier
The SaniDry XP controls the moisture in the air of the basement and drains itself into the WaterGuard drainage system.
TrenchDrain Grated Basement Drain
TrenchDrain was installed at the base of the stairs that leads outside to collect surface water. It is connected to the WaterGuard drainage system so the water it collects gets sent into the sump pump as well.
SuperSump Plus Sump Pump
The SuperSump Plus takes all of the water collected by the drainage system and sends it out of the basement through the discharge line.
IceGuard Discharge Line System
IceGuard prevents water from flooding back into the home in the event of a clogged or frozen discharge line.
