Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement in Lynchburg, OH, had a problematic wall that would constantly leak at the coves every time it rained. We installed our minimally invasive interior perimeter waterproofing system to stop the leaks. Including in this system are our subfloor WaterGuard drains and our SuperSump sump pump.

A Russellville, Ohio homeowner was having problems with water seeping into the basement. We recommended a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system and a SuperSump sump pump to be installed. WaterGuard is an interior under the floor drainage system, which is installed around the perimeter of the foundation walls to intercept water that seeps into the basement. The water will then be drained into the SuperSump sump pump System. The SuperSump has a 1/3HP cast iron pump that can pump 2,650 gallons of water an hour at an eight foot head. The WaterWatch alarm sounds if the water reaches too high and the pump hasn't yet turned on. This will alert the homeowner that there is a problem with the system. The SuperLiner sump liner is a rugged, heavy-duty liner that will not crack or cave in, and has 96 holes to allow water to flow in from below the floor. It also features a "pump ring" that centers the pump in the liner to prevent the switch from hanging up on the sidewalls. It also has an airtight lid that will keep water moisture from seeping back into the basement. The lid is also so strong you can stand on it. With the WaterGuard intercepting the water and the sump pumping it out of the basement, this homeowner will be able to use the basement without worrying about water intrusion. 

We wrapped this entire basement in Cedarville, OH, with WaterGuard drains to provide the homeowners with a proper lifelong basement drainage system. We also installed our premiere TripleSafe sump pump to provide ultimate protection against leaks. The WaterGuard drains will collect water from the weeping holes in the cove joints, and will direct the water towards the sump pump through the power of gravity. The TripleSafe will then discharge the water far away from the foundation. The TripleSafe has three separate pumps including a battery backed one. This basement is now safe from leaks. 

This homeowner in Leesburg, Ohio needed an upgrade for their old, unreliable sump pump that couldn’t keep up during heavy rains. The existing system had only one pump, so if it failed or lost power, water could easily back up into the basement. We replaced it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which offers three layers of protection for total peace of mind. The primary pump handles everyday drainage, a secondary pump automatically activates if the first one can’t keep up, and a third, battery-powered pump provides backup protection during power outages. With this system in place, the homeowner now has a fully reliable waterproofing solution that keeps their basement dry no matter the weather.

We waterproofed this storm-cellar basement in Greenfield, OH, to make for a comfier living situation for the homeowner. The only way to access this basement was through the stairwell, which often flooded. The walls and coves also leaked frequently, so the homeowner could tell by the smell in their bedroom if it was raining outside, (not good). We waterproofed the basement by installing 48 linear feet of our WaterGuard subfloor drains, wrapping the walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, and fitting a new SmartSump sump pump. The homeowner noticed a difference in the smell of their home from their bedroom right away after we completed the job.
