Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner was fed up with their musty basement, so they gave us a call to help them achieve a full protected dry basement. When installing our full interior perimeter drainage system, we also installed a vapor barrier system over the walls. Our CleanSpace moisture barrier shares many components of a pool liner; It is super durable, waterproof, clean, and flexible. All of these components allow the walls to help channel water to the subfloor system, keep musty smells out, and look super clean.

This wet basement in Dayton, Ohio needed a waterproofing system. After Dayton had received a massive rain storm, this basement reeked of must, and the owner found out the drywall was concealing tons of moisture. At this point, the homeowner decided to have us come out to install a full waterproofing system, including our CleanSpace walls. The white CleanSpace walls can be seen in the after photo. The walls tuck into our subfloor drainage system, and they will help protect the drywall the owner plans to install over them. They will also block out musty smells and keep moisture away from the basement.

This wet basement in Batavia, Ohio needed a proper repair system to ensure it can withstand a long and healthy life. We started by replacing the waterproofing system with our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our TripleSafe sump pump. We then repaired the bowed in walls by installing our PowerBraces, which are steel I-beams that are installed against the problematic walls. 

This basement in Batavia, OH, had stained and deteriorating walls before we stepped in to waterproof it. We installed our interior perimeter waterproofing system, featuring WaterGuard subfloor drains and a TripleSafe sump pump, to keep the space dry. To give the walls a cleaner, more finished look, we added rigid waterproof panels for extra protection. Chipped and flaking basement walls are a common issue, and many homeowners attempt to cover them with "waterproof" sealants. Unfortunately, these coatings are only a temporary fix and often lead to repeated, costly repairs. Our system provides a lasting solution, keeping basements dry and worry-free.

For this project in Batavia, OH, we waterproofed the entire perimeter from the inside. Our WaterGuard subfloor drains were designed to be installed from the interior, and they rest on top of the footing of the home. We insist on these drains because they sit outside of the "mud zone" where other drainage systems are bound to clog. We also installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier all over the walls in the basement for a couple reasons. For one, they help keep moisture out of the home, and they help channel wall leaks down into the subfloor drainage system. Secondly, they provide a finished look for homeowners who plan on spending a lot of time in the basement. If you want to learn more about this project, head to this link to see more photos:
