Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

We repaired this foundation in Morrow, OH, for a home that was built in the early 1940's. The home was built by a man during World War Two at a time when the country was limited on resources. All things considered, the home was built very sturdy, and it even required us to break a couple of our drill bits when we drilled through the foundation. However, like most homes, the foundation had succumbed to moisture and a high water table, causing the walls to bend and the floors to flood often. We repaired the bowed walls by bracing the foundation, and we waterproofed the home with our interior drainage system. Additionally, our BrightWall panels were a nice choice to cover up the stained concrete.

This Pleasant Hill, OH basement had water seeping through the old stone foundation walls, leaving them damp and musty after each rain. To solve the problem, our team installed WaterGuard along the perimeter, later sealed beneath a smooth concrete finish, and covered the leaky stone walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to block out moisture. We also added a sump pump system (not pictured) to ensure the basement stays dry year-round. The space now looks cleaner, brighter, and fully protected from future leaks.

This Bethel, OH basement once had a wet floor, an outdated sump pump, and a wall on the left side beginning to cave inward. After our team installed a TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard subfloor drains in the coves, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and PowerBrace beams to stabilize the failing wall, the space turned dry, stable, and protected for the long term.

After encapsulating and insulating this crawl space, we installed the cherry on top, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This dehumidifier was invented by our Basement Systems team and is an exclusive product to our network, meaning you can only get this through us in our service area. Since being invented, it has been tested and tweaked over many years to have some of the best specs for a dehumidifier that does not have a clunky heat exchange core. 

Qualities and specs for this patented dehumidifier:

• Removes up to 4.17 pints of water from the air in an hour. That equals 100 pints a day!
• Automatic sensors to reduce energy use.
• Automatically discharges water.
• Special filters can remove mold spores, dust mites, and other particulates.
• Quiet noise level.

This poured foundation wall in this Vanceburg, KY basement was leaking due to hydrostatic pressure building up outside the wall. We repaired the crack using our FlexiSpan system. First, we cleaned and prepped the crack, chipping out any loose material if necessary. Next, we applied a flexible sealant directly into the crack to form the primary seal. Then, we placed a strip of flexible, open-cell foam over the sealant, followed by an impermeable membrane to permanently seal the repair. The bottom of this system is directed into the drainage system below the floor, ensuring that any future seepage is captured and drained away instead of entering the basement. We then added our BrightWall crack cover over the stained wall. The result was a clean, dry basement wall that the homeowner could confidently finish again.
