Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Homeowner's Crawlspace in Need of a Waterproofing System in NW Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Northwest Calgary, Alberta encountered issues with water leaking in through foundation cracks around the perimeter of their crawlspace. Wanting to eliminate the water issues permanently in the crawlspace and regain the usable space, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basemen 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 our patented WaterGuard® drainage system around the perimeter of the crawlspace. The WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain System is designed with a built-in wall flange, which extends up your crawlspace 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. From there the system will discharge any water entering the sump pump basin to the exterior of the home passing through our patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation in the event that the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. And finally the discharge line has been buried below-grade out of plain sight ending off with a Bubbler Pot away from the home installed flush with the grass. This makes for easy cleaning and when the homeowner needs to mow the lawn they can mow right over it!
