Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home's basement was quite messy and was leaking water. We installed a Super Sump sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, CleanSpace walls, and WaterGuard drains in order to waterproof this basement. These products are all amazing on their own, but when combined together, they are able to completely transform the functionality and look of a damp basement. 

Before: This basement in Covington, KY, was struggling with constant moisture issues. Water would seep in around the perimeter during heavy rains, and the space had a damp, musty feel that was beginning to affect the air quality in the rest of the home.

After: To permanently solve the issue, we installed a TripleSafe® sump pump system for reliable water removal — even during power outages. Along the basement perimeter, we added our WaterGuard® drainage system, which collects incoming water and channels it directly to the pump. We also sealed the walls with CleanSpace® vapor barrier, protecting against moisture while giving the space a cleaner, brighter look.

Now the basement is dry, protected, and ready for the long haul.

The bottom half of this drywall became compromised due to excess exposure to moisture. To waterproof this basement with our subfloor drainage system, we first needed to cut out the damaged parts of the drywall. After we cut the drywall and installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains underneath the concrete, we then installed our EverLast wall panels to replace the damaged drywall. The Everlast panels are waterproof and look beautiful. They are also made of vinyl and come in a variety of neutral colors, so that they match any wall. 

The owner of this home had been living there five years when they gave us a call. They were concerned about humidity issues, as well as having to replace their furnace filter every year. You see, this dirt floor in the basement was throwing dirt and dust around everywhere, and then the furnace would throw the dirt all around the upper levels of the home. The high humidity levels were also making the furnace work twice as hard, as it's way more difficult to heat and cool humid air versus dry air. We got the job done by waterproofing the whole basement with a CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a SuperSump sump pump. 

This home had a stone foundation, which is commonly seen in Bellevue, KY. When we gave a free quote for our interior waterproofing system consisting of our WaterGuard subfloor drains and a SuperSump sump pump, we also suggested our CleanSpace vapor barrier to cover the stone walls. This particular stone foundation was leaking, which was causing stains and musty smells. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is the perfect wall solution for uneven surfaces, like seen here. CleanSpace has antimicrobial material infused into the 20 mil liner, which will help keep musty smells out. It also tucks into the subfloor drainage system, which helps channel wall leaks down into the concealed drainage system beneath the floor.
