Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

After seeing our commercial on TV, this homeowner in Cincinnati, OH, realized that he was experiencing some of the problems displayed in our advertisement. The homeowner had a 115 year old home with a stone foundation that leaked often, so we got to waterproofing it. We installed a full perimeter interior waterproofing solution with our subfloor drainage system and a sump pump. The icing on the cake though, is our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls. This vapor barrier tucks into our WaterGuard system, allowing us to drain moisture behind the uneven stone wall. The walls are also made of an inorganic, antimicrobial material, so they will never smell.

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 it would be wise to install a waterproofing system, and that we could finish their basement for them with all of our 100% moisture proof products. They really liked how all of our products worked together, so they gave us the go ahead to finish the basement as well. 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 thanks to their vinyl finish. 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 making them completely waterproof. They also have pegs that raise them off of the concrete floor, providing better insulation and a path for moisture to drain through. We finally added some trim, did some electrical work, and installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to top it all off. 

We installed a SunHouse window well and enclosure for a homeowner in Cincinnati, OH. This new window well system replaced their rusting existing well to help provide a better seal against moisture, improved natural light, and a cleaner, more finished look around the basement window.

The bottom half of this drywall became compromised due to excess exposure to moisture. To waterproof this basement with our subfloor drainage system, we first needed to cut out the damaged parts of the drywall. After we cut the drywall and installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains underneath the concrete, we then installed our EverLast wall panels to replace the damaged drywall. The Everlast panels are waterproof and look beautiful. They are also made of vinyl and come in a variety of neutral colors, so that they match any wall. 

The bottom third of this drywall became soaked with moisture and started to grow must. When we gave a free quote to the homeowners, we showed them our EverLast drywall repair system, which is perfect for occasions like this. You see, in order to install our waterproofing system we have to cut the drywall to be able to install our WaterGuard subfloor drains. When we cut them, we can replace them with our waterproof Everlast panels, which look great. You won't have to worry about them growing musty smells or getting damaged from water thanks to their vinyl composition. They come in neutral colors and are washable, making for the perfect drywall replacement system.
