Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Sump Pump and Drainage System in SW Calgary, AB
This homeowner in SW Calgary, Alberta encountered issues with water leaking into their home around the perimeter of their basement where the foundation walls meet the floor slab. Wanting to eliminate the water issues permanently with a proven solution, they contacted the foundation and waterproofing 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 the homeowners concerns. Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to install a DMX air-gap membrane wall system which bridges cracks and drains away moisture to our patented WaterGuard® drainage system. The WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain System is designed with a built-in wall flange, which extends up your basement wall by 3/8", capturing any water leaking from the walls will move downward and behind this flange where it is then directed to the SuperSump® sump pump system. A full-featured system, SuperSump® includes the best components available including a top-rated 1/3HP Zoeller® pump is designed for reliability & high-volume pumping.
