French Drain

A consistently wet basement can cause a vast array of problems to your home, not the least of which is a significant decrease in property value. Maybe you've tried the quick fix approach of temporarily repairing cracks and leaks but moisture still keeps seeping in. If that's the case, then a professionally installed French drain system by Basement Lifeguard's team of experts can keep your basement dry for good, allowing you to lower the long term costs associated with maintaining your most valuable asset-your home.

The premise of a French drain is to funnel unwanted water away from your basement. Installation begins with a trench digging procedure approximately one foot deep by one foot wide inside the interior perimeter of the basement. The trench is filled with a specialized, perforated pipe called drain tile and covered with gravel. Several applications of a new covering floor are applied on top as well as a new sump pump and your wet basement problems are a thing of the past.

Basement Lifeguard offers professional installation of French drain systems in the Montgomery County and Bucks County PA area. Consider us for your basement waterproofing solution today.

Sump Pump

Part of a permanent basement waterproofing plan has to include the installation of a sump pump system. If you already have one but it's old and inefficient or you're looking to install one for the first time, Basement Lifeguard has an experienced team of industry professionals to help you select the right sump pump for you.

If you're not totally familiar with the benefits of a sump pump, it's a fairly simple concept. The basics are a sump, which is a small basin dug into your basement floor, and the pump that draws the water away from your home. The two most common types of sump pump systems are submersible and pedestal. The submersible type is placed inside the sump and sealed to prevent short circuiting. The pedestal type is mounted above the sump. It's more conspicuous but any maintenance is simpler.

Other options we'll discuss with you include the sump liner capacity, the horsepower (hp) of the pump motor as well as battery or electric systems. Electric systems usually include a battery backup in the event of a power outage. Basement Lifeguard only sells and installs the leading brands in the industry such as Zoeller, Little Giant and Flotec, avoiding the cheap and discount brands.
