Water Control in Gleason, WI

Thursday, April 2nd, 2020 by Tom Wardlow

Challenge

The basement of this home in Gleason, WI had some major water issues. Water was coming in between the foundation walls and footing, and hydrostatic pressure around the foundation was also causing water to come through the basement floor itself. With no system in place to catch and drain the water, the water had no place to go other than pool up on the basement floor.

Solution

To catch the water coming in and to be able to drain it to the sump pump, Sure-Dry Basement systems installed their 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. In addition to the WaterGuard system, Sure-Dry also installed bleeder lines to catch and drain the water coming in through the floor.

To drain and discharge the water being collected by the WaterGuard system and bleeder lines, Sure-Dry installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. 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. The SuperSump® can also be installed with an optional UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump, which can pump out 11,500 gallons or more on a single charge!
