Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement in West Chester, OH, was struggling to keep moisture out of the space. The existing sump pump was very inconsistent, and when it wasn't working, the basement would leak when it was raining outside. On top of the inconsistent sump pump, there were clogged spots in the exterior drainage system that left parts of the basement wet year round. We replaced their exterior system with our interior drainage system. Our WaterGuard drains were wrapped around the perimeter of the basement, right underneath the floor. We then installed our SuperSump sump pump with a battery backup system in the lowest graded part of the basement floor slab. Lastly, we wrapped the walls with our BrightWall wall paneling system to help channel moisture from the leaky walls down into our subfloor drainage system. The BrightWall panels also transformed the look of the basement.

This basement was falling apart before we stepped in. Persistent leaks left behind stains and rusted appliances, while hydrostatic pressure pushed against the foundation, causing the walls to bow and crack. Moisture crept into the wooden floor joists, leading to damage and musty odors. Now, this basement is dry, stable, and built to last thanks to:

• PowerBrace wall repair system
• TripleSafe sump pump
• BriteWall wall paneling system
• WaterGuard subfloor drains
• Our dedicated crew

A complete transformation from top to bottom.

This basement was in rough shape before we got to work. Constant leaks left stains and rusted appliances, while hydrostatic pressure caused the foundation walls to bow and crack. Moisture weakened the wooden floor joists and created musty odors throughout the space. We firsts waterproofed the foundation with our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our TripleSafe sump pump. We then contained moisture by installing our BriteWall panels, which will channel wall leaks down into the subfloor drainage system. We finished the job by installing our steel PowerBraces to keep the walls stabilized. Now, it's dry, secure, and built to last!

A 100-year-old home was having issues with water seeping into the basement. After meeting with us, the homeowner decided on our BrightWall paneling system, our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, and our SuperSump premier sump pump system - equipped with an UltraSump battery backup system - to resolve the problems in the basement. 

BrightWall panels are used to cover the walls and will also help drain any wall leaks into the WaterGuard basement waterproofing system. The WaterGuard intercepts the water and drains it into the sump pump system. The SuperSump premier sump pump will remove the water from the basement at an elite rate. The UltraSump is the battery back-up pump system, and will turn on if there is ever a pump or power failure.

These systems working together will create a dry, comfortable basement that can be used without worries of water intrusion. The bright white color really brightens up the basement. Look at the difference this has made in this basement. 

This large basement was having some issues with the snowy weather. The walls were also leaking a lot of cold air into the home. We installed our waterproofing system along with our Basement to Beautiful panels to fix both issues. Our Basement to Beautiful Panels cannot grow mold or hold moisture due to their inorganic materials, which makes them the perfect basement paneling option. These panels are our best option for insulating your basement. Their graphite infused material reflects heat back into the basement, and they have a 24% greater insulation value than other standard foam options.   These innovative panels allow your contractor to frame the wall and insulate at the same time, and are equipped with steel studs and built-in wiring channels.
