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.  

This below grade garage in Hamilton, OH, leaked heavily during rains. We wrapped the exterior walls with our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system to invite built up water into the system. The drainage installation process included: trenching out the floor around the perimeter, drilling weep holes through the blocks, fitting our system into the trenches, pitching the system with gravel, and concealing the system with a fresh layer of concrete. The weep holes were key in this process, as they helped relieve the foundation of built up hydrostatic pressure. We then installed a SuperSump sump pump with a battery backup system in the corner of the basement to help discharge the water far away from the home. 

This home was leaking water through their carpet and drywall, so they gave us a call to waterproof a certain area in their finished basement. After we ripped the carpet out, tore out the drywall three feet high from the ground, installed our sump pump and drainage system, we then installed our EverLast wall paneling system. This system is great because after we cut out your drywall out to install our waterproofing system, we can then replace your drywall with this 100% moisture-proof paneling system. This way we don't leave you with a mess, and you don't have to worry about the wall growing mold in the most vulnerable areas! We also think it looks pretty, pretty, pretty good!

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. 

A returning customer who recently purchased a home in the Montgomery - Cincinnati, OH, area asked us to inspect their basement and crawl space. Noticing a crack below a leaky window, we recommended a new window drainage system and a sump pump replacement. We installed a WellDuct window drain over the crack below the window, a WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, a BrightWall panel to cover up the window drain, and upgraded their old sump pump to our reliable TripleSafe system.
