Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Garage Entrance Drainage System in Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Calgary, Alberta encountered issues with water frequently pooling in front of the below-grade garage entrance. Wanting to eliminate the water issues, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specific to address all of their concerns. Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to install our TrenchDrain™ grated drainage pipe system. The grate is flush or slightly below the floor, eliminating any tripping hazard and is uniquely designed to span entryway doors. Any water passing over the drain is collected through the openings and redirected to the new SmartSump™. The compact SmartSump™ system comes equipped with a 1/3 horsepower cast-iron Zoeller® sump pump capable of pumping 2,500 gallons per hour.
