Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Partial Interior Drainage system in Burlington, ON

P.J. had one wall n his Burlington residence that had ground water issues. He knew he had to removed the finished walls in order to install the drainage systemPhil from Omni Basement Systems came and recommended the WaterGuard drainage along with a SumperSump sump pump system. The Discharge was a little tricky but it was worth while. The discharge had to go up into the floor joist system to exit on the opposite side of the house. The customer was very pleased with this process.

Tricky Dischage

It is important to get the water away from the house and also where it wont cause a slipping hazard in the winter. The best place was on the opposite side of the house from the sump pump. To dod this, we had to put the discharge pipe up into the floor joist system
