Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

It may be hard to tell from the photo, but the carpet in this basement in Florence, KY, was absolutely soaked. We waterproofed this basement to make sure any new carpet that gets replaced stays as dry as a bone. Seen in the after picture is our TripleSafe sump pump connected to our subfloor WaterGuard drains. When we cut the drywall out, we made sure to do so carefully so the homeowner has an easy time replacing it. Our TripleSafe sump pump hosts a battery backup system to make sure this finished basement stays dry, even in the event of a power outage. The TripleSafe has an air-tight lid that is flush with the floor, so it doesn't take up much space and won't leak moisture into the basement.

This home had a bowing wall and water leaking issues. These two problems are commonly seen paired together due to hydrostatic pressure built up outside the foundation, (it also didn't help that their existing beams were failing due to poor material). First, we installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our TripleSafe sump pump to deal with the water issues. We then installed PowerBraces on the bowed wall to ensure that the wall does not move horizontally anymore.

This customer was interested in insulation and mold control. After we waterproofed the basement, we began to insulate by spraying foam on the band boards and installing Foamax insulation wall panels. The wall panels will help guide water to the system and they will never grow mold due to their inorganic nature. 

The owner of this basement had their previous waterproofers go out of business, so they needed someone who could help them out. The existing sump pump was most likely hooked up to footer drains on the outside of the home, which probably clogged with time. We told them about our interior drainage system, which was less of a nuisance to install than to repair their outside drains. They agreed that our process was easier, and so they agreed. We waterproofed this basement by installing our WaterGuard subfloor drains, our SuperSump sump pump, and our BrightWall wall panels. The result was a very happy homeowner who found a company they could trust for the long haul. 

This basement had stained and musty walls and floors before we came and installed our waterproofing system. In the after picture, you can see the SuperSump sump pump, the freshly poured concrete over the under the floor WaterGuard drains, and the moisture proof CleanSpace walls that also help filter water intrusions from the walls to the WaterGuard.
