Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home in Troy, Ohio had a basement that was in pretty bad shape on two adjacent walls. The walls were bowing in and were leaking water. To fix this, we had a pretty big project on our hands. We did our usual WaterGuard set up connected to one of our SuperPumps, which of course had a discharge line to the outside. We also installed PowerBraces to the walls to make sure they keep from bowing in. We then placed BrightWall on the walls to make the basement look clean and to cover up the dirty walls that were stained. The result is a great looking and healthy basement. 

This big basement was having waterproofing issues. You can see the evidence of it from the stained walls and floors in the before picture. It also smelled musty and the floor would sometimes collect pools of water. We fixed these issues with our interior perimeter waterproofing system. First, we dug trenches around the interior perimeter of the basement, then we drilled weeping holes into the foundation walls to relieve the hydrostatic pressure. We then placed gravel into the trenches, then our patented WaterGuard drains into the gravel. We grade the drains at an ever so slight angle towards the sump and seal them together to make sure the water drains smoothly. We then cover the trenches with fresh concrete to hide the drains. We then installed our TripleSafe sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery back up. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels to help drain moisture that seeps through the concrete. The walls also look bright and clean as the name implies. 

This customer wanted us to waterproof their basement so they could finish the basement. We were able to configure our SuperSump Plus with an UltraSump 4 battery backup into the closet, hidden yet accessible. The after picture shows how the home owners finished their basement around the sump pump after we installed it. 

We replace old, lame sump pumps like the black dusty one shown below. Our sumps are more advanced, reliable, powerful, and smarter than others. 

This house in Dayton, Ohio needed their basement repaired and waterproofed. There were cracks in the walls, which were resulting in water leaks. We installed CarbonArmor over the cracks to funnel the water to the WaterGuard, and to keep the walls from cracking even more. We also installed our TripleSafe Pump with all the necessary discharge products. The house now has a waterproofed basement.
