Here we used a Trench Drain system to direct water out of the garage. BrightWall was also added to keep the walls from molding and brighten up the space. We also used an IceGuard system to prevent water from backing up during cold connecticut winters.
This basement was having water problems. We added a Trenchdrain, DryTrak, and sump pump to remove water from the basement.
As you see from the before picture we opened up the floor around the walls to install TrenchDrain, Waterguard and a TripleSafe Sump pump to remove water from the basement. On the outside of the house we put in Iceguard to prevent water from backing up as a result of frozen pipes.
When we arrived in this basement, it was wet and leaky. However, becasue of the thick, monolithic floors, installing a conventional perimeter drain would be impractical and inefficient. Instead, we used the DryTrak baseboard drain pipe. DryTrak drainage channel has a unique profile designed to capture wall seepage and ground water that leaks into the basement along the floor/wall joint. When combined with a high-performance sump pump system from Basement Systems, DryTrak drainage provides an effective, worry-free solution to basement water problems.
When we arrived in this basement, it was wet and humid, and in need of a sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump from Basement Systems is part of a well-designed system with top-quality components that work together to keep your basement dry. The TripleSafe is the ultimate system; its oversize sump liner holds three pumps to handle storm-level water flow and power outages. With this system, you don't have to worry about high pumping demands that can overwhelm or burn out single-pump systems!
