Photo Album: Complete Waterproofing System Photo Album in Northville, NY

This photo album displays a version of a typical waterproofing system. Featured, is WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, a SinglePak, and partial CleanSpace system. Let’s break down each product and discuss their jobs.  WaterGuard and TrenchDrain can best be equated to an indoor gutter system of sorts. Their jobs is to collect any water that may find its way into the basement and redirect it to the sump pump where it is sent out and away from the home, never to return. The difference between WaterGuard and TrenchDrain is their placement. WaterGuard is installed where the floor and wall meets, out of sight yet highly effective. WaterGuard is what is typically used, however TrenchDrain is utilized in the event that the basement wall can’t be reached. TrenchDrain often makes an appearance when working around boilers or other large, immovable equipment.  The SinglePak sump pump is a great product for handling high levels of water. It takes everything the WaterGuard and TrenchDrain systems have collected and pumps it out through the EDC and to the LawnScape outlet in the yard. This sump is highly reliable, more than capable of dealing with the moisture.   Finally, a small layer of CleanSpace is spread across the base of the wall, right above the WaterGuard. CleanSpace is a 4-layer polyethylene composition , making it a highly durable vapor barrier. This product helps facilitate seeping moisture down into the WatwrGuard.  All these products come together to make a fantastic, well-rounded waterproofing system!
