Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

We installed a new RockWell window well and a basement egress window in this West Chester, Ohio home. The before picture was taken after was sawed a concrete rectangle out of the wall.

A Russellville, Ohio homeowner was having problems with water seeping into the basement. We recommended a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system and a SuperSump sump pump to be installed. WaterGuard is an interior under the floor drainage system, which is installed around the perimeter of the foundation walls to intercept water that seeps into the basement. The water will then be drained into the SuperSump sump pump System. The SuperSump has a 1/3HP cast iron pump that can pump 2,650 gallons of water an hour at an eight foot head. The WaterWatch alarm sounds if the water reaches too high and the pump hasn't yet turned on. This will alert the homeowner that there is a problem with the system. The SuperLiner sump liner is a rugged, heavy-duty liner that will not crack or cave in, and has 96 holes to allow water to flow in from below the floor. It also features a "pump ring" that centers the pump in the liner to prevent the switch from hanging up on the sidewalls. It also has an airtight lid that will keep water moisture from seeping back into the basement. The lid is also so strong you can stand on it. With the WaterGuard intercepting the water and the sump pumping it out of the basement, this homeowner will be able to use the basement without worrying about water intrusion. 

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. 

This home owner wanted an egress window because they had a room in the basement that they wanted to count as a bedroom on a home appraisal. We installed a RockWell egress, which look natural, is sturdy, and provides a great amount of natural sunlight.
