Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This customer in Hood River, Oregon had moisture and rodent activity in his crawl space. One major reason is there was no vent cover to the outside access which made it an easy place for animals and water to get in. Here are good pictures of how important it is to have well working vent covers.

This customer was wanting a quick solution to the water coming into the basement so they could finish it. Not only did we solve the water issue by installing our Waterguard system in just two days but we also helped get them on the right track to finishing it by putting in our Thermaldry wall system and our Thermaldry floor matting. These products help to waterproof and insulate the walls and floor, making the basement perfectly prepped for finishing.

Note: the floor matting is not pictured in the after photo since it was done at a later time.

This basement was cold and damp before we came in and installed the Thermaldry Wall system and a Waterguard Basement Waterproofing system. Now, it will be dry and comfortable for years to come.

With water creeping through the foundation and into the basement, the owners of this home had concerns. They didn't know what this could do to their health, but they could determine that is smelled damp and musty. Knowing they wanted to do something about this before it caused issues, the owners contacted John's Waterproofing for a free inspection. We did a full walk-through the basement with the owners and than worked on a solution. To begin we would dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the room. We than lay down gravel and WaterGuard. This system will collect water and allow it safe travels to the lowest point. From here the water enters a TripleSafe sump pump and is directed away from the homes foundation. Along the walls we than installed our BrightWall paneling. This is a rigid plastic material that will not mold or mildew, and acts as a safe vapor barrier for moisture to travel behind and down into the drain system. We than finished this job by installing a SaniDry dehumidifier which will address any excess moisture in the space. Now the owners can rest easy knowing their home is healthier from the foundation up. 

This homeowner had a basement apartment that had water intrusion constantly and it needed to be addressed. Our inspector went out and detected where the water was coming in and suggested to put in a drainage system. Our crews installed our WaterGuard system along the perimeter walls. It will drain unseen down to a sump pump where the water will be pumped out and away from the home. Our crew also installed BrightWall Paneling that is made specifically for basements. It is waterproof and easy to clean. The BrightWall also works in conjunction with the WaterGuard system; it works as an effective vapor barrier on cement basement walls. The customer loved how much brighter the basement was, it gave it a clean fresh look.
