Photo Album: Interior waterproofing in Niagara falls, On

Lloyd B. needed an interior waterproofing system installed in his Niagara Falls, home. Omni Basement Systems recommended the patent drain system called waterguard. Waterguard is an interior drainage system that is drained down to the SuperSump sump system. The floor is opened up and the drainage system is installed. A membrane is affixed to the wall to direct moisture into the waterguard. Then a sump system is added and the floor is restored.

Behind obstacles

Sometimes there are obstacles on the wall and we can usually slide the membrane in behind

IceGuard

The patented IceGuard prevents a frozen discharge line

Discharge slope

The discharge line is checked for the appropriate slope to drain properly

Extended discharge line.

To ensure the water gets away from the house, we extend the discharge line far from the house on the side of the house that slopes away from the house.

Trench is opened up

To install the Waterguard, the first step is to open up a trench in the floor and install the drainage system and add gravel.

Wall Membrane

To direct any moisture into the system, a wall membrane is mechanically fastened to the wall which will be connected to the Waterguard.

Sump pit

a 2-foot deep hole is dug into the floor and the sump liner is installed flush with the floor.

Floor restored

after the wall membrane is in place and connected to the Waterguard, the floor is restored.

Sump with battery back-up

The sump system is completed with the battery backup.

Inspection port

One of the reasons that we can offer a lifetime warranty is because we install inspection ports into our system. At any time, we can open up the drainage system and inspect it, or needed it can be flushed out.
