Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before: This basement in Covington, KY, was struggling with constant moisture issues. Water would seep in around the perimeter during heavy rains, and the space had a damp, musty feel that was beginning to affect the air quality in the rest of the home.

After: To permanently solve the issue, we installed a TripleSafe® sump pump system for reliable water removal — even during power outages. Along the basement perimeter, we added our WaterGuard® drainage system, which collects incoming water and channels it directly to the pump. We also sealed the walls with CleanSpace® vapor barrier, protecting against moisture while giving the space a cleaner, brighter look.

Now the basement is dry, protected, and ready for the long haul.

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. 

This basement wall was cracked, bowing, and allowing water to leak through during heavy rains. The moisture and movement were only getting worse, and the homeowners knew it was time to act before the damage got more severe.

We stabilized the wall using CarbonArmor straps and addressed the water intrusion with a full perimeter WaterGuard drainage system (concealed below the floor). We also installed a SuperSump Plus pump system and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the space dry and protected long-term.
