Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homes window well was concrete and water was getting through it, and needed to be upgraded. Due to landscaping the ground level had been risen, to accommodate this the homeowners had added a layer of bricks. But water had made its way through the porous material and the carpet in their finished basement was getting damp by this window in particular. To upgrade it we installed drainage for the window well that will feed into the basement waterproofing system. And the well itself was upgraded to a WellDuct system. 

This huge basement had always been an eye sore and the damp and sporadically leaking walls left the family not wanting to use the space. After installing our Waterguard system and Bright Wall panels, the space had a far more polished look and was a space the family would use. 

In this home, water had been leaking in the basement walls every time it rained. They had our inspector come out to look and explore what options they had to fix the water issues. Our crews installed our WaterGuard system which is an interior drainage system that goes along the basement wall. When finished it is unseen and drains to a sump pump to pump the water out and away from the home. Along with the WaterGuard, we installed ThermalDry Wall that helps insulate the basement by reflecting heat back in. It also works along with the drainage system and is made of inorganic materials so that it cannot mold and will protect your walls from moisture damage. The homeowner was happy with the work and was ready to move on to remodeling his basement for full functional use. 

One of the things you can do is protect your foundation from the outside. We use a product called Paraseal. It is made of expandable granular bentonite that stops water from passing through it. Leaving your foundation protected from water getting in. 

As this homes basement is prepped to be finished, the windows would need work. They had some minor leaking issues and were far to small to be used in the event of an emergency evacuation. After we had an installation crew waterproof the space, our finishing crew arrived to upgrade the window and the window well.
