Photo Album: WaterGuard, TrenchDrain and SuperSump used to resolve water problems in Richmond, KY

A Richmond, Kentucky homeowner was having problems with a newly purchased home.  The house was built in the 1940s and no sump pump had been installed.  The homeowner met with Damon, one of our Certified Inspectors, who recommended that WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a TrenchDrain, and a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System is installed to resolve the problems they were having in the basement. WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is a piping system installed into the floor around the foundation walls.  WaterGuard will intercept the water that is seeping in and drain the water into the sump pump system.  The sump pump system will pump the water out of the basement.  The TrenchDrain has a grated top to allow water to drain in through the grate.  The TrenchDrain is usually installed across doorways and hatches to intercept water that seeps in and drain the water into the sump pump system. The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System is a high-end 1/3 hp Zoeller cast iron pump.  It includes the WaterWatch Alarm, SuperLiner and Airtight Lid.  The WaterWatch Alarm sounds an alarm to alert the homeowner to a problem with the system or during a power failure.  The SuperLiner is a rugged liner with 96 holes in it to allow water to also flow in from under the floor.  The Airtight Lid is strong enough to store things on even stand on it.  It keeps water from evaporating back into the basement, keeps things from falling into the liner, keeps out insects and odors and quiets the pump.   With the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, TrenchDrain and SuperSump Premier Sump Pump Systems installed, the homeowner will be able to enjoy a dry basement that can be used for extra living space or storage with no worries of water intrusion.
