Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Gardner, MA
This homeowner in Gardner, MA gave us a call about their basement that was taking on groundwater through the floor. Craig, one of our inspectors, visited the home to take a look at the basement and drew up a plan that would keep it dry. On installation day, Lucio, one of our foremen, and his crew started waterproofing the basement with installing our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor. They carefully weaved the WaterGuard around the oil tank as well to protect it from water damage. In front of the basement door that leads outside, the crew put our TrenchDrain grated basement drain to catch excess surface water. The TrenchDrain and WaterGuard are connected and act as a tunnel that sends the groundwater into the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe takes all of the collected water and sends it out of the basement through two discharge lines. IceGuard was installed on the outside of the home to prevent water from flooding back into the home if a line ever clogged or froze. The homeowner can now rest easy knowing their basement will be staying dry from now on!
