Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The basement in this home in Fort Mitchell, KY was moldy, wet, and dusty. We offered to install our waterproofing system for the homeowner, and they agreed. Our system included our WaterGuard subfloor drains, our SuperSump sump pump, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier walls. We love when our customers opt in for the white CleanSpace walls because not only do they look great for photos, they also provide support to the drainage system. The vapor barrier allows water to flow down from the walls into the drains beneath the floor, keeping musty water smells out from your living area. The vapor barrier also makes for a great pre basement finishing product as it can protect drywall and other types of walls from water damage. Even if you don't plan on finishing your basement, the vapor barrier can stand alone as a beautiful, clean, reflective wall, covering all the cracks, stains, and dirt.  

The cracks in these concrete slabs could allow for further weather intrusion, causing the concrete cracks to get worse. We filled the cracks with Nexus Pro crack sealant, which is UV-resistant and won't crack or bubble. 

Hydrostatic pressure can place an incredible strain on basement walls. Just one cubic foot of water weighs about 60 pounds, which means thousands of pounds of force can be pushing inward against your foundation at any given time.

That was the case for this basement in Covington, KY, where built-up groundwater around the foundation led to cracks, leaks, and bowing walls. To address the problem, we installed our interior perimeter waterproofing system to relieve the water pressure, paired with our PowerBrace wall repair system to stabilize and gradually straighten the walls.

To finish, we added our BrightWall paneling system, which not only channels wall leaks into the drainage system but also provides a clean, bright appearance.

We installed our regular interior perimeter waterproofing system for this basement. Seen in the after picture is a TripleSafe sump pump equipped with an UltraSump 4 battery back up, fresh concrete poured over WaterGuard drains, and CleanSpace walls. 

This part of the basement seen in the attached photos was wet and leaky before we cleaned it up. We installed our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system in this area in order to channel water to the SuperSump sump pump, as seen in the after photo. We also wrapped this entire basement with our CleanSpace vapor barrier in order to brighten the area and keep it smelling fresh.
