What is WaterGuard?

WaterGuard is a cutting-edge, patented basement waterproofing system that provides an efficient and long-lasting solution for managing water around your home’s foundation. Unlike traditional French drains, which are typically installed outside the foundation, WaterGuard is uniquely designed to be installed inside the basement. This makes it an ideal choice for both finished and unfinished basements, ensuring maximum protection against water infiltration and moisture damage.

WaterGuard’s innovative design allows it to work in tandem with your home's existing drainage system, effectively capturing water before it can cause any harm to your basement. Whether you’re trying to preserve a finished space or protect an unfinished area, WaterGuard offers an unobtrusive, highly reliable solution to keep your basement dry.

Step-by-Step Installation of WaterGuard

Installing WaterGuard is a meticulous process that requires expertise and attention to detail. Here's what you can expect when you choose this advanced waterproofing system for your home:

  1. Initial Assessment & Planning: Our team begins with a comprehensive inspection of your basement. We evaluate the extent of water infiltration, determine potential sources of moisture, and create a custom solution tailored to your specific needs. We will explain each step, so you can feel confident about the work ahead.
  2. Excavation: After finalizing the plan, a narrow trench is carefully excavated along the perimeter of your basement floor, adjacent to the foundation walls. The trench is designed to be minimally invasive while allowing for optimal water collection.
  3. Placement of Perforated Pipe: In this trench, we install a specially designed perforated drainage pipe. This pipe is the central component of the system, designed to capture any water that enters your basement. The perforations allow water to flow into the pipe, ensuring efficient drainage and preventing water from accumulating near your foundation.
  4. Backfilling with Drainage Stone: Once the pipe is in place, the trench is backfilled with a specially selected drainage stone. This stone not only supports the pipe but also acts as a natural filter, ensuring that water moves freely toward the pipe without obstruction.
  5. Installation of the Plastic Cover: The final step involves covering the system with a durable plastic cover. This protective layer prevents debris from clogging the system, while still allowing easy access for future maintenance or adjustments.

Why Choose WaterGuard?

WaterGuard stands out as one of the most effective and discreet basement waterproofing solutions available today. Here’s why it’s the best choice for protecting your home:

  1. Efficient Water Collection & Drainage: WaterGuard's unique design ensures that any water that enters your basement is quickly and efficiently captured. It channels the water into a sump pump system, which then directs it away from your home’s foundation. This prevents issues like standing water, mold growth, and musty odors, ensuring your basement stays dry and healthy.
  2. Discrete and Non-Intrusive Installation: Because WaterGuard is installed beneath your basement floor, it remains completely out of sight. This feature is particularly beneficial for homeowners with finished basements, as it ensures the aesthetics of your space are preserved while still providing superior water protection.
  3. Long-Term Durability & Peace of Mind: WaterGuard is crafted from high-quality materials that are built to last. Additionally, it comes with a warranty, offering you peace of mind that your investment will continue to protect your basement for many years. With WaterGuard, you can trust that your basement will remain safe from water damage.
  4.
