A catch basin is a square drain set into the ground in a gravel bed, typically with a grate on top of it. Catch basins help prevent pooling water, erosion, and flooding, and they catch debris, helping prevent a clogged storm drain or sewer system. They are placed in low spots in a yard, below downspouts, or in areas where rainwater tends to collect due to poor drainage.
We installed our interior subfloor drainage system, WaterGuard, along the perimeter of this basement where the floor meets the wall. This solution will capture water at its entry point and direct it to our SuperSump pump system - protecting this space from future flooding and water damage.
Water pooled in this homeowner's crawl space after heavy rains. Following a thorough assessment of the space, our team recommended installing our perimeter french drain system along with a TripleSafe sump pump and SmartSump pump. The french drain was connected to our sump pumps, which are designed to work in tandem to prevent flooding.
Before installing the exterior waterproofing drainage system with a TripleSafe sump pump, the customer's home experienced water seepage issues, especially during heavy rains. The existing drainage might have been inadequate, leading to moisture problems in the basement or foundation.
After the installation, the exterior waterproofing drainage system now effectively channels water away from the foundation, preventing water from entering the home. The TripleSafe sump pump ensures that any water that does reach the sump pit is promptly pumped out, maintaining a dry and secure basement. This system provides reliable protection against water damage, ensuring the home remains dry all the time.
This St. Augustine homeowner was facing a troubling issue water intrusion seeping up from beneath the floors and soaking into the carpet. With a slab foundation and no clear source of entry, it was unclear how long the issue had been going on. Although gutters were recently installed, the water still had nowhere to go.
Our team installed a precise French drain system along the home's perimeter to redirect roof runoff and groundwater away from the foundation. The before photo shows the drainage system mid-installation, carefully wrapped and lined with gravel for proper filtration and flow. The after image shows the finished product clean, effective, and visually seamless. This solution helps protect the slab foundation from future water damage, keeping the interior dry and the home structurally sound.
