The WaterGuard Drain is specifically designed to be placed above the base on a bed of rocks, slowing down the flow of water and preventing the drain from clogging. In addition, it is important that it contains a 3/8 inch built-in space between the floor and the wall to drain infiltrations from the wall. Spacers visible along the wall allow water to be collected in the drain while blocking dirt and debris. Once covered with concrete, the drain merges into the decor without damaging the structure of the foundation. In order to perform system checks, we also install an inspection port that allows access to the drain and ensures its smooth operation over the years. The WaterGuard drain is the new technology in drainage and its effectiveness is proven!

Problem

Water was still to seep into our client's basement, despite him redoing his french drain recently. During the free inspection, our specialist Jorge explained that the French drain, despite its popularity, can have certain limitations. It can get clogged due to the accumulation of soil inside. Besides, its maintenance is costly and time-consuming, which requires excavation.

Solution

- We installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system around the perimeter of the basement, on the foundation footing. The WaterGuard pipes have a 3/8-inch protruding flange to channel water from the walls directly into the system. Additionally, the WaterGuard system features a series of openings for easy access to the drains for cleaning, inspection, or repairs.

- We connected the drain to our revolutionary SuperSump sump pump, which, thanks to the Zoeller pump, can absorb up to approximately 14,500 liters of water per hour.

- We installed a discharge line with our IceGuard system to prevent any flooding in case of freezing of the discharge line.
