Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wood Foundation Drainage System in Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Calgary, Alberta encountered issues with water leaking in around the perimeter of their basement where the PWF treated wood foundation walls meet the floor slab. Wanting to eliminate the water issues permanently in the basement and regain the usable space, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specific to address all of the homeowners concerns. Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to install our patented WaterGuard® drainage system. The WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain System is designed with a built-in wall flange, which extends up by 3/8". Any water leaking from the wall and floor joint will move downward and behind this flange where it is then directed to the homeowners existing sump pump system. There were some obstacles during the installation including radiant in-floor heating line and a fireplace, but our Production Team was able to tackle the challenges as they appeared to complete this homeowners waterproofing installation!
