Photo Album: Well-Rounded Waterproofing System in Schenectady, NY
In this photo album, we’ll explore a complete waterproofing system. The products on display are WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, CleanSpace, IceGuard, and a TripleSafe sump pump. Let’s take a look at the role each product plays in this waterproofing system.
WaterGuard and TrenchDrain are very similar in terms of their job. Where they differ is the placement in the basement. WaterGuard sits at the base of the wall where it meets the floor, practically invisible. TrenchDrain attaches to WaterGuard and continues the track on the open floor when the situation calls for it. TrenchDrain is often used when going around things like boilers or water heaters or other items that cannot be moved or prevent access to the wall behind. These two products collect any water that seeps into the basement from the outside soil and facilitates it to the sump pump, preventing water from pooling and causing damage.
Along the walls, CleanSpace is spread, acting as a vapor barrier and assisting the WaterGuard and TrenchDrain in regulating moisture. CleanSpace is a highly reliable, durable product, capable of providing years and years of protection.
Finally, the TripleSafe sump pump is a powerful product with three levels of pumping power, capable of handling even the worst flooding. It also has a backup battery and water watch alarm that helps keep it running in the event of a power outage. And with the help of the IceGuard on the outside of the home, the TripleSafe will keep pumping water even when the temperature drops below freezing.
All of these products combine into a wonderful waterproofing system that will keep this basement dry without any issues!
