Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing Services in Newport, Kentucky

This project in Newport, Kentucky, shows the full transformation of a basement that needed serious waterproofing help. We installed our complete interior waterproofing system, starting with WaterGuard® subfloor drains to collect groundwater along the perimeter and two trench drains at the doorways to stop water at common entry points. For powerful, reliable water removal, we installed a TripleSafe® sump pump, which features three pumps for triple protection — including a battery backup for peace of mind during power outages. To address moisture and air quality, we added a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, which keeps humidity low and helps prevent mold growth. We also lined the walls with our CleanSpace® vapor barrier, which seals out moisture and brightens the entire space. Be sure to scroll through the photos to see how this basement was transformed into a dry, protected, and healthier environment — and check out the full video on YouTube for the complete walkthrough.

Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is 20 mils thick, and is composed of inorganic material so that it prevents mold growth and smells fresh. We like to say, "It's clean enough to eat off of!"

After we got the plumbing right, we then conceal the drainage system with a fresh concrete layering. You can also see how the vapor barrier tucks behind the subfloor drain wall flange, which channels wall leaks down to the system.
