WaterGuard is a perimeter waterproofing system. It is installed around the perimeter against the foundation wall. As water enters into the basement the WaterGuard Drainage System will be able to collect it with its special wall flange. The special wall flange creates a space between the floor and the wall allowing the water seepage to drain into the system without being clogged with dirt and debris. Once the water is collected it will drain it safely and unseen to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System to be pumped out of your basement. The system is able to work with all types of foundations and keep your basement water free!
