Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The pictures show the replacement of a tiny basement window to an egress window, which allows easy access out of the basement. Seen in the after picture is Darren putting the final touches on the window. 

This homeowner wanted an egress window installed because they were planning on building a bedroom in their basement for their kid to live in. You can see just how big the window is thanks to our team member standing in the well, making final adjustments. 

This homeowner had two egress windows installed by another company in their basement, and these windows began to leak shortly after they were installed, (as evidence by the towels all over the floor in the before picture.) The dry wall became damaged and musty, so we suggested that we install a drainage system and we replace the wet drywall with our EverLast moisture proof panels. We first started by carefully cutting the drywall so we could install our drainage system. Our drainage system included of two WellDuct drains in the two egress windows, WaterGuard subfloor drains, and a SuperSump sump pump attached with our UltraSump battery backup system. This system will make sure water doesn't build up near the leaky windows. We then replaced the drywall we took out with our EverLast wall panels. Our EverLast wall panels are made of a vinyl material, and won't grow mold or get damaged from moisture. They also tuck into the drainage system, and they look great next to any type of wall. This job teaches a valuable lesson, if you are going to get egress windows installed, make sure its a company who understands how waterproofing works like us. Be sure to read the attached case study at the bottom to learn about another similar job that almost led to devastating consequences. 

This home had an old sump pump that needed replacing. We replaced it with a SuperSump Plus sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery backup. 

This home had a damp and musty basement that was affecting the health of the owner and the rest of the house. Like we always say, the best time to waterproof is sooner rather than later. You don't want to put up with a musty basement your whole tenure just to have to fix it because no one will accept the condition of the basement when it's time to sell your home. With WaterGuard drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, this basement will stay dry during the wettest months of the year. We also added a couple of SmartJack posts to help strengthen the floor joists, which will get rid of the sloped floors above.
