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.

In the "before" photo, you can see how this homeowner in Tipp City, Ohio, had resorted to stacking storage bins and belongings off the ground in a damp, unfinished corner of the basement. Water seepage had made the space unreliable for storage and unusable for anything more.

We solved the issue by installing our WaterGuard® subfloor drainage system, which now captures any incoming water before it can reach the basement floor. We also added a TripleSafe® sump pump, offering triple protection and a battery backup in case of power outages. To brighten the space and protect the walls, we finished it off with CleanSpace® wall panels, which direct wall moisture down into the WaterGuard system while giving the basement a clean, dry look.

Now that this corner is permanently protected from water, the homeowner is finally free to finish the space and build proper shelving — turning what was once just a damp storage area into a usable, functional part of the home.

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.

CleanSpace is one of our most popular wall options that we install. It is a vapor proof barrier that is strong, antimicrobial, and clean. It tucks right into our subfloor drains, which helps drain wall moisture. It can be left as is, or you can finish your own type of wall over it thanks to the CleanSpace's moisture protection properties.

This basement in Morrow, Ohio had a poured foundation with minimal protection against water intrusion—just a basic vapor barrier loosely hanging on the walls. Moisture, poor insulation, and a lack of drainage left the space vulnerable to leaks and musty air. We transformed this basement into a dry, usable space by installing our Foamax wall paneling insulation, which provides both moisture protection and thermal efficiency. To handle water intrusion at its source, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump system and a WaterGuard interior drainage system, ensuring any groundwater is collected and redirected before it ever reaches the living space. To keep humidity in check, we added a powerful SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

Now, this basement is clean, dry, warm, and protected—ready to be used year-round without the worry of water or mold.
