Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home had a bowing wall and water leaking issues. These two problems are commonly seen paired together due to hydrostatic pressure built up outside the foundation, (it also didn't help that their existing beams were failing due to poor material). First, we installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our TripleSafe sump pump to deal with the water issues. We then installed PowerBraces on the bowed wall to ensure that the wall does not move horizontally anymore.

This basement in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, had ongoing water issues that were leaving the space damp and unusable. The homeowner needed a permanent solution to stop the leaks and clean up the environment.

We installed our WaterGuard® drainage system around the interior perimeter to capture groundwater before it reached the floor surface. From there, water is directed to a TripleSafe® sump pump, which provides triple-layer protection — including a battery backup to keep the system running during power outages.

To finish the walls, we installed Foamax® insulated paneling, which adds both moisture resistance and thermal value. The result? A clean, dry, and brighter basement that’s now ready for storage or finishing.

This basement was an old fieldstone root cellar. Fieldstone root cellars were used back in the day to store food at a cooler temperature. Although these root cellars can come with lots of moisture issues, they are pretty historic and deserve to be preserved. We were able to fix the foundation by applying a waterproofing system throughout the whole foundation by replacing their old sump pump with our newer TripleSafe sump pump. We also applied CleanSpace walls around the stone brick foundation to block out dirt and water. The result is a healthy basement that will last longer and preserve the cool stone foundation. 

This basement had stained and musty walls and floors before we came and installed our waterproofing system. In the after picture, you can see the SuperSump sump pump, the freshly poured concrete over the under the floor WaterGuard drains, and the moisture proof CleanSpace walls that also help filter water intrusions from the walls to the WaterGuard. 

We installed an egress window for this home in Cleves, OH, so that the homeowners can add a bedroom to their basement. In order to count a bedroom in a basement on a home listing, an egress window must be installed for safety purposes. Our RockWell egress well is super durable, beautiful, and allows natural light into the basement.
