We installed the total waterproofing package for the resident—IceGuard, TrenchDrain, WaterGuard, and a TripleSafe sump pump.  Now, when it rains heavily, the TripleSafe is able to keep up with the amount of water and pump it away from the home—resulting in a dry basement and a happy customer.

This homeowner considered encapsulating his damp concrete-floor crawlspace, where the insulation was beginning to fall. He arranged for a waterproofing specialist to inspect the area, answer his questions, develop a repair plan, and provide a free estimate. Impressed by the proposal and the cost, he decided to proceed with the project.

The solution began with the installation of CleanSpace Drainage Matting on the floor, designed to eliminate standing water and direct it to the SmartSump sump pump system.

For protection during colder months, an IceGuard was added along the discharge route to prevent flooding from ice blockages. Finally, airtight CleanSpace vent covers were installed to seal out moisture, and a CleanSpace liner was applied to complete the encapsulation, effectively preventing water vapor from entering the crawlspace.

It is an inorganic system that will never rust, rot, or grow mold. It is also nearly invisible once installed! We channeled this drainage system to our patented sump pump system, which features a powerful 1/3 horsepower cast-iron Zoeller pump, capable of removing up to 2,240 gallons of water from the basement per hour. Not only that, its shell contains roughly 100, 3/8-inch, inlet holes that allow for ground water seepage.

Lawrence can now have peace of mind with a dry basement and a new basement waterproofing system!
