Before & After Photos

Sump pumps are a very important part of the system that we install. While sump pumps are great, they are also useless without the installation of a proper discharge line. There are many ways to mess up a discharge line, but only one way to properly install the line. Fortunately, our crews are well-trained and have a lot of experience in installing our systems. 

The first picture shows off the discharge after the crew had installed the sump pump and had started running the discharge pipe. It is important to make sure that wherever the discharge runs, it is away from home and won't flow back towards the home. This prevents the sump pump from pumping out water, then having the same water get back into the home and have to pump it out again. 

The second photo shows the same area after the crew had cleaned up the area and filled in the area where the discharge was run. While you can still tell about where the discharge is, the crew did a great job at covering it up. After the grass grows back in this area, there will be almost no sign of the discharge. Our crews do there very best to take care of the issue and making it seem like we were never there! They certainly succeeded in this project. 

This basement, before we came out, was having major moisture issues. It had a sump pump, but the water wasn’t always making it there. This is how our Design Specialist, Alex Rogers, new that WaterGuard was the way to go.

This piping system would capture the water that comes through the walls and deliver it directly to the sump pump. As you can see in the “after” photo, the system is installed close to the wall. A small incision is made, the system is placed, and it is covered with cement to dry. What’s left exposed is the small port our technicians use to clean it out.

This basement in Lexington, SC was taking on water. Our All-Dry of the Carolinas team installed at WaterGuard. A water guard is a system that intercepts the water at the perimeter of the basement and drains it unseen and safely into the SumpPump where it is then flushed from the basement. WaterGuard is different because it is designed to not sit in dirt like most draining systems do. There is a special wall flange that creates space between the floor and wall allowing wall seepage to drain through the WaterGuard while keeping it away from the dirt. Since this type of drainage is separated from dirt, the chances of it clogging are nearly impossible!

Anything below grade is susceptible to water intrusion in some form. There are several different ways for water to get into a crawlspace or basement, but many times it is mainly caused by hydrostatic pressure pressing against the foundation walls. This is the common cause especially when a home has consistent and continuous water intrusion, however, this can get even worse with heavy rains. 

This was the case for this homeowner in Lexington, South Carolina. They had pretty consistent water intrusion through the bottom of the basement walls, but when it would rain heavily the homeowner would really start to notice the water coming in. The homeowner knew that they couldn't just continue to let this happen, so they began to do a little research and found us! 

The system that our crew installed in the basement made a huge difference with the water intrusion the home was having. The homeowners no longer had to worry about water getting into the basement with the installation of the CleanSpace and WaterGuard. The CleanSpace is the liner that can be seen on the walls around the basement and helps to catch any water or moisture coming through the basement walls. The WaterGuard can't actually be seen, but is in the floor around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard catches the water that the CleanSpace drains down and then takes it to the sump pump that was installed in the lowest part of the basement, where it is then pumped out. 

Our crew installed a WaterGuard and CleanSpace wall system in this basement located in Great Falls, SC.
