Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A finished basement with a water issue can be a very big deal. This homes finished basement had damp carpeting, and the space smelled damp most of the year. To get to the bottom of the issue, and protect this space in their home, the owners contacted John's Waterproofing. We did a full inspection and than worked with the owners to map our a repair plan. To begin we dug a trench around the interior perimeter of the basement. Within this we installed our WaterGuard drain system. This system will collect water and channel it to the lowest point. From here the water enters a TripleSafe sump pump and is pumped away from the homes foundation through a discharge line. The WaterGuard is than covered over with concrete to protect the system. Each below grade window was than set up with its own drain system, allowing water that is collected in the window well to be directed through the wall, down to the WaterGuard system. Since the space would be finished, we than installed ThermalDry radiant vapor barrier along the foundation walls. This is a vapor barrier as well as a thermal break for the space, allowing it to better maintain its temperature. We than finished the protect with a SaniDry dehumidifier to address any excess moisture in the air. Now this space is set up to be refinished and the owners can enjoy some peace of mind, knowing their basement is protected. 

This Crawlspace was encapsulated with CleanSpace along with a SmartSump sump pump and a SaniDry Sedona to keep this crawl space clean, dry and healthy for years to come. 

This homes basement had been finished years before. As moisture began showing up along the baseboards of the drywall, the owners knew a water issue was festering. They removed a section of the drywall and discovered the old fiberglass behind it was molding, and it smelled musty. The owners of the home called up John's Waterproofing. To address the space we would remove the damaged walls and finishing's. We installed a full interior perimeter drain system with our ThermalDry radiant vapor barrier along the walls and a SaniDry dehumidifier. Our finishing crew came out afterwards and installed paint ready drywall and trim so this space can be safe and healthy to use once more. 

This crawlspace had the vapor barrier replaced and a smartsump sump pump installed to help pump out any crawlspace water intrusion.

This homes old sump pump couldn't keep up with the homes water issue. The space would have puddles pop up and the walls would leak. Since these issues left the space unusable for storage, the owners were in search of a solution. This is how they came to find John's Waterproofing. We removed the old pump and installed our own full interior perimeter drain system using WaterGuard. This collects ground water as well as any water from the walls and channels it to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. This machine then pumps the water safely away from the home. Along the walls we than installed our BrightWall paneling, this will not mold or mildew, and it provides a semi-finished look to the space. The owners are so pleased to have their basement fully usable now and look forward to not having to worry when it rains.
