Some homes have "sump pits" that truly are ugly to live with. Here we are installing a Triple Safe Sump into an area that had a washtub in a hole with wood stakes trying to keep the sand soil from slumping into the failing pump. The proper knowledge and training for correct installation is key for the pumps operation and it also looks much nicer in the end.
This home had water seepage both through the walls and floor/wall joint. We installed CleanSpace wall wrap that tucked into the WaterGuard piping system which took all water to the Triple Sump pump. No more water on the floor! Dry Basement! Yahooo!!
This 1960s house with concrete block walls had been problematic for 40 plus years. How do we know that?... by the styles of clothing that had been used by the previous homeowner Granny to stuff the blocks against water and cold air penetration. The next homeowner had jackhammered little groove trenches all over the floor leading to the floor drain. They had even tried an Exterior Hydrovac Culvert with a pump in it to pump "ground water table" but that just made it easier for the rain to get to the basement level alongside the dig created in the soil. The basement was STILL wet most of the year.
Basement Systems Saskatchewan installed their WaterGuard piping system with CleanSpace wall wrap to catch any wall cracks, form tie and cold joint leaks directly into the system and take all the water collected to the Triple Safe sump pump (three pumps including a battery backup pump in case of a power outage). When Anita was diagnosing this home's problems- she warned the homeowner that the old cast iron plumbing was likely rotted after 50 yrs and would probably need replacing. True to her suspicions, the sewer p-trap was rotted and leaking into the soil beneath the floor... pheewww! A licenced plumber was brought in to replace the 6' of sewer pipe and the waterproofing repair was completed. It's now dry as a bone inside and outside the two IceGuards allow the sump to drain all year round without freezing up. Jobs done Bob!!
(with the exception of the electrical outlets to be done by a licenced electrician yet, in after picture).
Often times, basements leak because the outside drainage system has failed, or clogged.

Water leaking into basements is a problem that has troubled homeowners for more than 100 years. Water enters the basement through the walls, floors, and joints between them. Over the years, contractors and engineers have developed a wide variety of methods to keep basements dry. All of these methods work some of the time. But when it comes to a wet basement, don't you want a method that's going to work ALL of the time?
The flange on the WaterGuard® system captures wall leaks while keeping debris out.
