Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This house that we set out to waterproof was built in 1937 and had a block wall foundation. The relatively new owners of the home loved everything about the house, except for the fact that it leaked water every time it rained. In the before picture, you can actually see the damp spot on the floor closest to the wall. To waterproof it, we installed WaterGuard drains all around the interior perimeter of the basement, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and BrightWall paneling to give the walls a nice clean look. The homeowners won't have to worry about musty smells everytime it rains anymore. 

A returning customer who recently purchased a home in the Montgomery area asked us to inspect their basement and crawl space. Noticing water stains below a window, we recommended a new drainage system and a sump pump replacement. To resolve the issue, we installed a WellDuct window drain, a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system, a BrightWall panel, and upgraded their old sump pump to our reliable TripleSafe system.

This homeowner called us because noticed musty odors in their basement shortly after purchasing their home. They suspected that they were going to need a new waterproofing system since they wanted to finish their basement as well. We told them that it would be wise to install a waterproofing system, and that we could finish their basement for them with all of our moisture resistant products if they wanted us to. They really liked how all of our products worked together, so they decided they wanted us to finish it for them after waterproofing their basement. After waterproofing with our interior perimeter subfloor drainage system and our TripleSafe sump pump system, we then began on finishing. We started by removing all the furring strips, and then installing our Basement to Beautiful insulation panels. These insulation panels are waterproof and will help drain water to the subfloor drains as well. These panels will also help the homeowners save lots of money on energy bills. We then installed our Everlast wall panels over the insulation panels to give the walls a finished look. Everlast walls are waterproof as well, and are easily washable. We then installed the new floors with our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring system. These planks look like well refined wood, but are made of inorganic material instead making them waterproof. They also have pegs that raise them off the concrete floor, providing better insulation and a path for water to drain through. We finally added some trim, did some electrical work, and installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to top it all off. 

There was a lot of work completed in this basement, but what a difference it has made!  In order to stop this wall from leaking, bowing in, and to cover the wall we installed our vapor barrier, our waterproofing system, and our steel I-beams. This basement now looks cleaner, smells cleaner, and is dry as can be! Now if the homeowner wishes, they can turn their basement into whatever type of space they want without the worry of damage!
