One of the things that the DryZone crew does during a WaterGuard installation is drill weep holes in the concrete blocks. All along the bottom of a block wall the ground water sits in the hollow blocks and slowly seeps out. This is a big reason why basements leak. The WaterGuard system is designed to relieve pressure and keep the water flowing in the pipes rather than all over the basement floor. In addition, there are clean out ports at various spots in the system. These ports allow you to see the inside of the pipe and clean it out if the need arises.
If you've gotten a TrenchDrain system (perimeter drain) from DryZone we even make sure that if the drainage is clogged we have a small trap door so we can open it and clean out whatever is stuck in there. This way ensuring that you drain is always collecting water properly and getting it to the Sump Pump.
Look at this before and after of a clogged drain and how easily it is to clean it out if it ever does get clogged.
Fixing problems before they get worse is ideal when you have a home. That's at least how this homeowner in Harbeson, DE felt when they called DryZone!
With Waterguard, a SuperSump Plus and our CleanSpace wall system installed, this basement's water problems will be taken care of for good!
When water is seeping in the basement through a crack, the crack and the water both need to be address. The solution taht worked best for this homeowner was to install FlexiSpan that directs the water to the WaterGuard System. No more water on the floor of this basement!
Where the pipe entered the home, there was mositure seepage. FlexiSpan was the right choice to make sure no more water entered the space.
