Photo Album: Below-Floor Drain for a Wet Basement in Clinton, NC

Homeowner, Keith, in Clinton, NC was experiencing water and humidity in the basement. To stop the water intrusion, we installed 100 ft of WaterGuard, a piping system that is installed around the interior perimeter of the basement underneath the cement floor. The WaterGuard system channels water to the area where we installed a SuperSump sump pump. The sump pump collects the water and removes it through pipes to an exterior drain about 15 feet or more away from the house. We also provided Keith with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to maintain low humidity levels preventing musty odors, mold & mildew growth, and pest infestations. Keith now has a dry, usable, healthy basement that can be finished for additional living space or storage. If you are experiencing water or flooding in your basement, we have solutions!

WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain

For a typical basement, our WaterGuard system is the ideal choice for waterproofing. This French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog.

Preparing for WaterGuard Installation

We remove the cement at the base of the wall where we will install the WaterGuard piping.
