Water Control in Hobart, WI

Monday, March 30th, 2020 by Tom Wardlow

Challenge

Water was finding its way into the basement of this home in Hobart, WI. With no interior drainage system in place to catch the water when it came in between the foundation wall and footing, or a sump pump for the water to drain into and discharge away from the home, the water pooled on the basement floor, damaging the drywall and carpet.

Solution

To catch the water coming in between the foundation wall and footing, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their patented WaterGuard® system. The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement. WaterGuard® works for both block walls and poured concrete, ensuring that your basement remains dry in all situations. This product also comes with a written warranty.

In order to collect and discharge the water collected by the WaterGuard system, Sure-Dry installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.
