Water Seepage
The water on the floor was the other indicator of a basement leak that accompanied a nasty-smelling odour.
Installing WaterGuard® and ThermalDry® systems
Installation Foreman Lucio Flores placed our patented WaterGuard® drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to give the water seepage to the sump system. Next, the ThermalDry® wall system was installed to create a vapour barrier for the basement. It will also help insulate the area and to help preserve energy in the winter months.
Sealing Off the Drainage System
After the WaterGuard® is installed, new concrete is placed on top to seal the system. Once dried, the laminate flooring will be placed on top and make the WaterGuard® almost invisible.
External Discharge Line Installation
An external discharge line was attached so the water collected in the sump system can properly drain.
IceGuard® Installation
The crew added an IceGuard® sump pump discharge line system to eliminate any freezing or blockages from debris.
