Photo Album: Perimeter Waterproofing System in Canaan, NY

This photo album highlights a perimeter waterproofing system that prepped this basement wonderfully for a full finish, if that’s what the homeowner would like. Products involved here are Foamax, CleanSpace, WaterGuard, TrenchDrain, TripleSafe, and more! FoaMax is a great insulation product that fixes right to the wall with no intrusion! Laid over the top of the Foamax is CleanSpace, which is a very durable vapor barrier that helps keep seeping moisture in check. With both Foamax and CleanSpace, this basement has an effective double layer of insulation. At the base of the walls where these products are is WaterGuard, which helps redirect any water coming in to the sump system where it is pumped out and away from the home. TrenchDrain does a similar thing, but instead of being where the wall meets the floor, it’s out more on the open floor. Think of these two products as an indoor gutter system of sorts, facilitating the water away, keeping it from pooling and causing damage. The final product on display, the TripleSafe, is a super powerful sump system with three operating levels that automatically shift based on how much water is coming in. It also comes with a built-in battery for the inevitable power outage and an alarm, so you’ll never be left guessing if your pump has turned off. All these products combine into a strong, reliable waterproofing system this homeowner can count on.
