Before & After Photos

In Michigan, we deal with ravaging winters every year. Besides for it being bitterly cold, we definitely do not want a burst pipe to add to our dislike for the season. As a preventative measure, this Jackson, MI family had our team install the patented IceGuard grated drainage line protector for their sump pump. IceGuard allows water to escape your sump pump even in freezing months, avoiding a burst pipe. No need to worry about water or an unattractive discharge line; IceGuard will blend right in with the exterior of the home.

This Jackson home had water in the basement when it rained. The homeowner knew where the water had gotten in since water pooled in the same place every time it rained. We installed the WaterGuard which is a French drain system that goes around the perimeter of the basement. It is installed under the floor but above the foundation so it doesn't clog, it collects water that seeps into the space, and it sends the water out of the home. The concrete is restored after installation so you don't have to worry about an unsightly drain in your basement! 

Any diversions from a flat surface in your yard - hills, valleys, slants - can cause headaches when it comes to water. Our customer called because the slant to their driveway was helping water drain toward the house instead of away - sometimes it seemed to be coming right from the floor.

By installing TrenchDrain in the driveway, water can drain through the grated opening and divert to an outlet in the yard, far away from the house.

Our customer called after buying a house and realizing that the existing sump pump was not up to snuff. We replaced it with a TripleSafe sump pump and installed IceGuard on the discharge lines to protect against freezing lines next winter.

This basement would leak down the walls after heavy rains and onto the tile floor. As you can see in the before photo, the wood panels had a bit of water damage towards the bottom of them. To help repair the problem, the crew installed a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system at the foot of the walls. They cut the bottom portions of the walls to remove the stains. Before the perimeter system could be installed, the tile and floor needed to be excavated to make room for the pipes. The after photo shows where fresh concrete was poured to cover the system and the SuperSump system that will pump out any water in the WaterGuard. With those two systems, there will be no more leaks in this basement.
