Flooded Basement Waterproofed in Woodstock Valley, CT
Challenge
This homeowner from Woodstock Valley, CT called us after a terrible rain storm flooded her unfinished basement. There was so much water that the fire department had to come and pump out the water twice! He owned a sump pump, but since it was powered by electricity, the basement became a pool after the power went out.
We set up a date for one of our inspectors to visit the home and devise a plan that will prevent future floods. The inspector proposed to install a full perimeter WaterGuard interior drainage system and integrate that with our TripleSafe sump pump. The homeowner agreed to the proposal and was eager for the transformation.
Solution
On the day of the install, our production team jackhammered inside the perimeter to create room for the WaterGuard. This system sits where the floor and wall meet in this basement and will intercept any water seepage coming through. Once the drainage system was set, the crew made a sump pit to install the reliable TripleSafe inside. Our TripleSafe comes with a primary pump, secondary pump and a backup battery pump in case of power outages. The multiple layers of pump gave this homeowner the solution he needed, and ever since the installation date, 0 floods have occurred!
