Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homes basement was going to be finished. To do so the homeowners knew they would need to waterproof first. There was already water creeping in along the corners and knew if they finished, the water would become an expensive issue. To waterproof and prep the space we installed a full interior drainage system, a Sump pump, and ThermalDry radiant wall barrier. Our electrician division then went in the set up the electrical aspects of the home so it will be ready for the homeowners chosen contractor to finish. 

This wall had a hairline crack and was beginning to break down the structural integrity. Our team went in and put in power braces to help hold the wall and they are then going to finish the wall. 

The Cleanspace wall system is used for basements and is designed to effectively act as a moisture and vapor barrier. It is inexpensive, waterproof, stain resistant, and easy to clean which means that it is basically maintenance free! It works by capturing wall seepage and leaks and directing that water to the Waterguard perimeter drain.

The SaniDry XP is a self-draining dehumidifier and removes up to 10x the moisture of a standard unit. It creates clean, dry air and reduces the risk of mold growth.

Waterproof paint can offer a short term solution to deter water from entering the basement. But as water pressure pushes against the paint, it will begin to bubble and crack. Once water comes through, then water is once again in the basement. This home was dealing with this issue and the owners of the home were eager to have full access to their basement again. For an actual solution, the owners of the home connected with John's Waterproofing. To begin on this homes waterproofing solution we dug a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. Within this we laid a bed of gravel and our WaterGuard drain system. This will collect water and channel it to the lowest point of the basement where a TripleSafe sump pump can then direct the water away from the home via a discharge line. Along the walls we than installed out CleanSpace Wall system, which safely ensures water makes it down the walls into the WaterGuard. Now the owners of the home can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry, stable, and healthy.
