Basement Waterproofing - Installing IceGuard For The Discharge Lines

As the water from the sump pump begins pumping water out of the house, that water will travel through discharge lines. At a certain point, the discharge lines come outside the home to be filtered into the yard. However, the possibility of pipes freezing or bursting in cold states makes homeowners fearful. Thus, John decided to install IceGuard. IceGuard is an anti-freeze fitting that fits onto the discharge line. If one of the pipes freeze, water will spray out of the holes in the fitting. Thus, if a freezing problem occurs, John will be safer and happier he took just one more precautionary step in waterproofing his basement!
