Our Interior Waterproofing System : WaterGuard

The WaterGuard basement waterproofing system is an advanced interior drainage solution engineered to address basement water issues effectively. Unlike traditional systems that risk clogging from soils under the floor, WaterGuard is designed for long-lasting performance without such concerns.

Key Features of the WaterGuard System

• Effective Water Capture: Installed inside the basement, WaterGuard captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. Water enters through inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to your sump pump.
• Complementary Solutions: When paired with our sump pumps and other waterproofing products, WaterGuard ensures your basement remains clean and dry throughout the year.
• Clog-Free Design: Unlike conventional French drains installed outside the foundation or alongside the footing, WaterGuard's interior installation prevents clogging from silt or plant roots.
• Discreet Appearance: The drainage channel is hidden beneath a layer of concrete, with only the top edge of the wall flange visible, making it almost unnoticeable.
• 20-Year Warranty: WaterGuard comes with a 20-year warranty against clogs, offering peace of mind for homeowners.

We recommend combining WaterGuard with our TripleSafe sump pump system for optimal protection against basement water issues.

Why Choose WaterGuard Over French Drains?

Homeowners often consider exterior French drains to combat basement water seepage, but these systems are prone to clogging from mud, silt, and debris. In contrast, the WaterGuard system is installed inside the home along the perimeter of the basement, making it more efficient and cost-effective:

• Enhanced Efficiency: This interior placement allows WaterGuard to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor, providing faster and more reliable water management.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Installing WaterGuard can be less expensive and intrusive compared to exterior drain systems, saving you time and money.

How Does WaterGuard Handle Groundwater?

For effective basement waterproofing, it's crucial to capture groundwater before it leaks onto the basement floor. WaterGuard addresses this challenge by reducing hydrostatic pressure, which is a common issue with "waterproof" membranes or coatings that can lead to high-volume leaks.

WaterGuard offers a comprehensive solution:

• High-Volume, Clog-Free Design: The drainage lines are large enough to handle heavy water flow during wet weather and are designed to resist clogging.
• Wall Leak Protection: The system directs water leaking through foundation walls to the drain lines before it reaches the basement floor.
• Floor Leak Protection: Drain lines are placed along the joint between basement walls and the floor to capture groundwater and relieve hydrostatic pressure.
• Reliable Sump Pump System: Collected water is conveyed to a sump pit where a high-capacity sump pump like our TripleSafe system pumps it outside, ensuring performance even under extreme conditions.

By choosing WaterGuard, you're investing in a robust, reliable basement waterproofing system that keeps your space dry and protected all year round.
