Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The effects of hydrostatic pressure can be very profound. After all, a cubic foot of water weighs around 60 pounds. Depending on the surface area of your basement walls, this can mean over 1,000's of pounds of inward pressure on your walls! Unfortunately for this basement in Covington, KY, the built up water around the outside of the foundation was resulting in cracks, leaks, and bowed walls. We were able to relieve the immense weight off the walls by installing our interior perimeter waterproofing system, along with our PowerBrace wall repair system. As the waterproofing system drains the water away from the walls, the PowerBrace system actively shifts the wall back to a straight plane. We also installed our BrightWall paneling system, which will help drains the cracked walls and provide some aesthetic benefits as well. Give us a call if hydrostatic pressure is terrorizing your home for a free inspection! 

This home had an egress window (that we didn't install) in the basement that was leaking. We solved the leaking by installing a well duct that is able to lead water from the well to a TripleSafe sump pump. We also installed WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement that also leads to the sump pump. You can see the well duct system in the after picture under the egress window. 

This home in Harrison, Ohio was having some water leak through some cracks, which were hidden behind some water pipes. In order to stop the leaking, we applied some FlexiSpan over the wall. FlexiSpan helps stop leaks, and although some water does still end up still leaking, the FlexiSpan guides the remainder water to a proper drain. 

When we installed this waterproofing system for this homeowner, (a full interior perimeter drainage system & a TripleSafe sump pump) we also added in a Flood Ring around the water heater. That way, if any plumbing leaks occur for this water heater, (which we see a lot) the water will drain straight to the TripleSafe sump pump. If you are getting a full waterproofing system, it is definitely worth it to take the extra cautionary step of making sure the water heater is covered as well. 

This home was having foundation issues as well as waterproofing issues. We placed piers in the basement to lift and stabilize the footers. We also placed PowerBraces on the walls that were moving horizontally to stabilize them. After we fixed the foundation problems, we aimed to waterproof. We installed WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump, a discharge line equipped with IceGuard. After eveything was installed, the customer is assured they won't have to worry about foundation or waterproof issues any longer.
