Before & After Photos

Before:
A Kingsford homeowner was dealing with recurring basement water after storms and year-round humidity. Seepage showed up along the wall–floor joint, the existing sump was unreliable during heavy rain, and the damp air left the space musty and uncomfortable.

After:
We installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system around the leaking walls to intercept seepage and carry it to a new TripleSafe® sump system. TripleSafe provides three layers of protection—primary pump for everyday flow, a high-capacity secondary for peak events, and a battery-backup pump for power outages—sealed under an airtight lid. To control moisture in the air, we added a Sedona dehumidifier, set to maintain healthy relative humidity and piped to drain automatically.

The basement is now dry, clean, and consistently comfortable in every season.

Before

This Kingsford, MI homeowner had been dealing with a wet basement whenever heavy rain or spring snowmelt saturated the surrounding soil. Water was entering where the foundation wall met the basement floor, leaving damp concrete, musty odors, and concerns about moisture damage to stored belongings. During our inspection, we determined that hydrostatic pressure around the foundation was forcing groundwater into the basement through the cove joint—a common problem throughout Upper Michigan. To provide a permanent basement waterproofing solution, we recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along with a SuperSump Sump Pump System.

After

Our crew removed a narrow section of concrete around the basement perimeter and installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System just above the foundation footing, where it captures groundwater before it reaches the basement floor while remaining outside the mud zone to help prevent clogging. The drainage system was connected directly to the newly installed SuperSump Sump Pump System, which efficiently pumps collected water away from the home. After restoring the concrete floor, the homeowner was left with a clean, professional installation and a dependable basement waterproofing system designed to keep the basement dry through Michigan's changing seasons.
