FreezeGuard™

What is FreezeGuard™? 

FreezeGuard™ by Basement Authority is an innovative attachment that connects to your sump pump system’s external discharge line just outside your home. It’s a great way to waterproof your basement in preparation for winter. 

It provides an alternative route for water, preventing backflow and basement flooding and reducing the chances of sump pump failure. If the discharge line is blocked or frozen, water is diverted to the FreezeGuard™ and released safely. 

This state-of-the-art addition is central to Basement Authority’s comprehensive home solution, incorporating basement water control systems. A basement waterproofing system is most effective when it includes FreezeGuard™, aiding in preventing frozen pipes from causing water damage. 

Signs You Need the FreezeGuard™ Attachment 

This unique attachment is crucial, especially if you experience the following problems in your basement during winter: 

• Basement window leaks 
• High humidity
• Water-damaged possessions 
• Mold growth
• Wet basement walls
• Issues with plumbing 
• Historical cases of frozen discharge lines 
• Bowing basement walls 
• White, powdery efflorescence

Any presence of moisture in the basement can end up being harmful and requires immediate action. Water endangers both your home’s structural stability and your family’s health. 

If you observe any of these signs, get in touch with Basement Authority right away. Working with experts will prevent these types of problems in the future. 

Is an Anti-Freeze Attachment Necessary? 

What Are the Benefits of FreezeGuard™? 

FreezeGuard™ provides many advantages. Not only does it simply make your pipes work better, but it can also provide you with the following: 

• Protection Against Pipe Freezing: FreezeGuard™ assures uninterrupted water flow, avoiding backflow during freezing, sustaining sump pump activity, and preserving dry basements throughout winter. 
• Foundation Security: FreezeGuard™ safeguards the foundation by preventing basement floods from frozen discharge lines, reducing the amount of water in your basement. 
• Peace of Mind: FreezeGuard™ eliminates worries, allowing homeowners to relax knowing their basements are protected against water overflow. 

FreezeGuard™ works best when it is integrated with other basement waterproofing systems. This includes vapor barriers and sump pumps. Bear this in mind when investing in basement waterproofing equipment—a comprehensive solution is best.
