WaterGyard 101: Understanding the Process from Start to Finish

What is WaterGuard?

WaterGuard is a patented basement waterproofing system designed to effectively capture and channel water away from your home's foundation. Unlike traditional French drains that sit outside the foundation, WaterGuard is installed inside the basement, making it an ideal solution for both finished and unfinished basements.

Installation Steps:

1. Assessment and Planning: Our team begins by thoroughly inspecting your basement to assess the extent of water infiltration and determine the best course of action.

2. Excavation: A narrow trench is excavated along the perimeter of the basement floor, adjacent to the foundation walls.

3. Perforated Pipe Placement: A specially designed drainage pipe is placed within the trench. This perforated pipe serves as the main conduit for collecting water.

4. Backfilling: Once the pipe is in place, the trench is filled with drainage stone to provide additional filtration and facilitate water flow.

5. Cover Installation: Finally, a durable plastic cover is installed over the system to prevent debris buildup and allow easy access for maintenance.

How WaterGuard Helps:

1. Effective Water Collection: WaterGuard's unique design ensures that water entering your basement is swiftly collected and directed to a sump pump system for removal, keeping your basement dry and free from moisture-related issues like mold and mildew.

2. Discreet Installation: Because WaterGuard is installed beneath the basement floor, it remains hidden from view, preserving the aesthetics of your basement while still providing maximum protection against water intrusion.

3. Long-Term Reliability: Constructed from high-quality materials and backed by a warranty, WaterGuard offers long-term reliability and peace of mind, giving you confidence in your basement's waterproofing system for years to come.

4. Versatile Application: Whether you have a finished basement that requires protection against water damage or an unfinished space that you'd like to convert into usable living space, WaterGuard can be customized to suit your specific needs.
