Jackhammering Begins
Here you can see where our crew began jackhammering on the concrete slab to make room for the WaterGuard System in one corner of the basement. Minimal invasion of the concrete slab is required to get this job done, making the installation process easy and seamless.
On Top of the Foundation Footing
The WaterGuard System rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing so it stays out of the "mud zone"- where typical drains often get clogged. This helps to prevent the system from becoming backed up due to dirt or debris. The large drainage openings and uniquely designed shape also aid in its resistance to experiencing clogs.
Concrete Floor Restored
The concrete floor has been entirely restored in the places where the concrete was removed with our crew's jackhammers. Now that the WaterGuard System is in place, it can collect the water seeping through the wall thanks to its built-in wall flange.
Lateral Line Used to Redirect Water
A lateral line was installed across the floor to connect to the WaterGuard System, and to help redirect any water that was pooling around an elevated area of the basement. A member of our production crew noticed that there was a crack on the concrete floor, which is a sign of water lurking underneath the surface. Sure enough, as the crew began jackhammering on top of the crack that was already formed, and they struck water below.
Lateral Line Installed and Concrete Restored
The lateral line was successfully installed, and the concrete was restored. Now if any water comes in this direction, it will be redirected into the WaterGuard System.
