Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This block wall foundation was leaking every time it rained for these homeowners in their basement. They called us to fix that. We installed a full interior perimeter basement waterproofing system consisting of WaterGuard drains, a SuperSump sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery back up, and of course the BrightWall panels. The BrightWall panels not only look nice and cover the dirty walls, but they also help drain water to the WaterGuard beneath the floor. 

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. 

We covered a crack in this basement with the FlexiSpan system. We start by covering the crack with our patented FlexiSpan caulk. We then cover the caulk with foam that is able to lead any water that still may come through the crack. This water is lead to a trench dug in the concrete in the floor of the basement, directly under the crack. We then cover the foam with another layer of caulk. We then cover the entire crack with a BrightWall panel because it looks clean. The whole goal of this system is to seal the crack and allow any water that still may come through to travel to a trench. Other contractors may opt to just seal the crack, which will just lead to larger cracks because they aren't relieving water pressure off the wall. 

We installed an Egress window in Hamilton, Ohio.  In these photos, you can see the difference in size between the original window and the egress.  An Egress window provides an accessible exit way out of the basement, which could save someone in case of an emergency. 

This home in Hamilton, Ohio had a basement that was leaking water and causing the owners to have to suck the water out of their basement just about every time it rained. We installed a WaterGuard system connected to a TripleSafe sump pump. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona, a Aspen air purifier, and Foamax wall panels to put the cherry on top. The result is a much cleaner, healthier basement.
