Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home had a damp and musty basement that was affecting the health of the owner and the rest of the house. Like we always say, the best time to waterproof is sooner rather than later. You don't want to put up with a musty basement your whole tenure just to have to fix it because no one will accept the condition of the basement when it's time to sell your home. With WaterGuard drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, this basement will stay dry during the wettest months of the year. We also added a couple of SmartJack posts to help strengthen the floor joists, which will get rid of the sloped floors above. 

The effects of external hydrostatic pressure had taken a toll on this basement in Piqua, OH. All four of the block walls in this basement all looked like the attached before photo. Wet puddles, bowing wall cracks, stains, and musty smells were all effects from massive amounts of built up water in the soil around the foundation. The existing exterior waterproofing system had failed and the loose soil around the home, (from when the soil was first excavated to make room for the home) were two reasons why the water table was so high. We repaired all four walls in the basement by installing carefully designed PowerBraces, which stabilized the foundation. We then waterproofed with our patented interior-perimeter system with our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our TripleSafe sump pump. The homeowner was so impressed with the job, they left us a nice review on our Google Profile: "Still waiting on our hats..."

When this Dayton, OH, homeowner spotted signs of water leaks behind their basement's finished walls, they knew it was time for expert help. Notice in the before photo, the fallen fiberglass insulation, which was holding moisture. We jumped right in, installing our WaterGuard for precise drainage, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, along with the UltraSump Backup System, for unbeatable water evacuation, and sealed the deal with our CleanSpace liner for an impervious moisture barrier. The after photo proudly showcases a transformed, dry, and secure basement space, all thanks to our reliable solutions, proving once again that no challenge is too big for our team to handle, ensuring a remarkable customer experience and long-lasting satisfaction.

In just two days of work, our crew was able to completely transform this wet, leaky, rotted basement into a beautiful, dry, clean space! We are very grateful to have the best crews and materials in town, because it makes for some pretty awesome transformations and ecstatic homeowners!

When we installed a full perimeter interior waterproofing system for this wet basement in Dayton, Ohio, we used our TripleSafe for the sump pump system. The TripleSafe is our most secure pump system, as it comes with three different pumps, including a battery backed one. If the primary pump becomes overwhelmed, then the second pump will kick on. If the second pump becomes overwhelmed, then the third pump will help kick in. If the power goes out in the home, then the battery backup system will kick on. There's no better pump system than the TripleSafe!
