Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This lower grade garage in Rising Sun, IN, leaked heavily every time it rained. The moisture left behind from the leaks seeped into the home, and the homeowners grew tired of the musty smells. We waterproofed the garage by installing our WaterGuard subfloor drains around the perimeter, which are pitched down to our SuperSump that we installed in the lowest graded part of the basement. Now that the basement is waterproofed, the homeowners can look forward to a cleaner smelling home and a dry garage space.

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.

In Union, KY, this basement wall had started to bow inward due to long-term soil pressure from the outside. Left unaddressed, this kind of foundation damage can worsen over time, putting the home at serious risk. To stabilize the wall, we installed PowerBrace™ steel supports, designed to permanently reinforce and straighten bowed basement walls.

We also protected the area with a full CleanSpace® vapor barrier, helping to keep moisture out of the basement. Along the floor, we installed the WaterGuard® drainage system, which captures and redirects any water seepage to keep the basement clean and dry.

This Oxford basement had an old sump pump, an inefficient dehumidifier, and a moldy stone foundation. We replaced the sump pump with a SuperSump, upgraded the dehumidifier to a SaniDry Sedona, added drainage matting across the floor, and encapsulated the walls and floor with CleanSpace, transforming the space into a clean, dry, and healthy basement.

The best before before and after photos for waterproofing projects are no doubt the ones with CleanSpace walls. They are inexpensive and easy to install, and they do a fantastic job at covering up messy walls. They even tuck into our subfloor drains, which helps direct wall leaks to the sump pump.
