Basements are imperfect structures built in soils that vary.
Water in the soils leaking into basement is a problem that has troubled
homeowners for over 100 years. This water will enter the basement through
walls, floors and joints between them. Over the years, contractors and
engineers have developed a wide variety of methods to keep basements dry.
Some of these methods are more effective than others.
Among the best of these methods is to install a sub-floor
drainage system along the perimeter of the floor. here are a few
challenges to this method, however. One is to keep the drain from being
clogged by mud over the years. Many homeowners go years without a water
problem and then develop one because of existing sub-floor and sub-surface
drains clogging with mud. Another is to set up the system to accept water
from the walls without leaving a large unsightly gap at the edge of the floor
which can collect dirt and debris from the floor, also clogging the drain.
The patented WaterGuard® system is designed to meet these
challenges and keep your basement dry permanently.
Key Benefits
WaterGuard®Non-Clogging System
The patented WaterGuard® system has a design that separates it
from the soil under your floor so it will never clog. It also has a
special wall flange that creates a neat space between the floor and the
wall to drain any wall seepage, without allowing dirt and debris from the
floor to enter. The WaterGuard® system is applicable to all types of
foundations including block, poured concrete, stone, etc. Weep holes
are drilled into block wall to drain water out of the walls into the
system. Water enters the WaterGuard® system via holes on the wall
side and flows in the WaterGuard® conduit to a SuperSump® or other drain.
The WaterGuard® system intercepts water at the perimeter of your basement and
drains it unseen, safely away - guaranteed! The system will keep your basement clean and dry so you can
use the space for storage, recreational purposes, or to finish for additional
living space.
