Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Being able to add more usable space to your home is important. One way to do that is by waterproofing and finishing the basement. This homeowners finished basement had not been waterproofed, so they experienced water intrusion every time there was heavy rainfall and could no longer use their basement. They reached out to John's Waterproofing about fixing the issue before another rainy season. The basement waterproofing process involves installing a drainage system using WaterGuard and a SuperSump Plus sump pump. These two work together to collect any water that tries to seep through and can safely push it out and away from the homes foundation. Once the drainage system is installed, it is completely covered with concrete to offer the homeowner a discreet look. To protect the walls, we install ThermalDry. This is a heat and vapor barrier that help to guide moisture down below to the drainage system, while also helping to keep heat in the room. After the basement has been waterproofed, then we can finish the walls with drywall. Now, this homeowner gets to enjoy their basement all year round knowing that it will stay dry and healthy.

It is a shame when you have a great house and this potential space that you could do something great with but water and humidity prevent you from using the space at all. Here at John's, we have a wide array of products specifically designed for basement living. We will help you get from Basement to Beautiful. 

Here is a customer in Portland, Oregon called stating that his sump pump wasn't working or pumping out water. When our team went out to look they found this homemade sump pump that definitely was not working and there was standing water and much in the crawl space. The Foreman went over all of the issues and the possible fixes with the customer and they decided that a full encapsulation was the best choice. Customer now has a clean, dry crawl space that is virtually maintenance-free while also helping cut costs on his energy consumption. 

Our crew came over and help finish this space with waterproof Thermaldry Elite Flooring and a Waterproofing system. The results speak for themselves! You get a good-looking space that is also protected from any ground water damage! That’s a win-win in our book!
