Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement was falling apart before we stepped in. Persistent leaks left behind stains and rusted appliances, while hydrostatic pressure pushed against the foundation, causing the walls to bow and crack. Moisture crept into the wooden floor joists, leading to damage and musty odors. Now, this basement is dry, stable, and built to last thanks to:

• PowerBrace wall repair system
• TripleSafe sump pump
• BriteWall wall paneling system
• WaterGuard subfloor drains
• Our dedicated crew

A complete transformation from top to bottom.

This basement was in rough shape before we got to work. Constant leaks left stains and rusted appliances, while hydrostatic pressure caused the foundation walls to bow and crack. Moisture weakened the wooden floor joists and created musty odors throughout the space. We firsts waterproofed the foundation with our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our TripleSafe sump pump. We then contained moisture by installing our BriteWall panels, which will channel wall leaks down into the subfloor drainage system. We finished the job by installing our steel PowerBraces to keep the walls stabilized. Now, it's dry, secure, and built to last!

The bottom third of this drywall became soaked with moisture and started to grow must. When we gave a free quote to the homeowners, we showed them our EverLast drywall repair system, which is perfect for occasions like this. You see, in order to install our waterproofing system we have to cut the drywall to be able to install our WaterGuard subfloor drains. When we cut them, we can replace them with our waterproof Everlast panels, which look great. You won't have to worry about them growing musty smells or getting damaged from water thanks to their vinyl composition. They come in neutral colors and are washable, making for the perfect drywall replacement system.

On top of installing a full waterproofing system for this basement in Newport, Kentucky, we also installed our moisture barrier. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is our most economical wall option, but comes with some great benefits. For one, it can channel water leaks coming from the wall into the subfloor drainage system. Secondly, it helps control the musty smells in basements, and will never grow mold thanks to its inorganic nature. Lastly, it is easily installed and looks beautiful! 

A 100-year-old home was having issues with water seeping into the basement. After meeting with us, the homeowner decided on our BrightWall paneling system, our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, and our SuperSump premier sump pump system - equipped with an UltraSump battery backup system - to resolve the problems in the basement. 

BrightWall panels are used to cover the walls and will also help drain any wall leaks into the WaterGuard basement waterproofing system. The WaterGuard intercepts the water and drains it into the sump pump system. The SuperSump premier sump pump will remove the water from the basement at an elite rate. The UltraSump is the battery back-up pump system, and will turn on if there is ever a pump or power failure.

These systems working together will create a dry, comfortable basement that can be used without worries of water intrusion. The bright white color really brightens up the basement. Look at the difference this has made in this basement.
