Our WaterGuard® drain system was put into place and will effectively capture wall and floor seepage. Water collected in the drain is directed to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump with battery backup.

The crew finished the job by installing IceGuard® on the discharge lines to better protect the sump pump system against freezing conditions.
