Basement Systems USA Before & After Photos

This Baltimore County resident had Basement Systems out to another property of his for basement waterproofing. Leaving that property behind and purchasing another in the same county, it unfortunately had the same issue, when it would rain, water would enter in through the block foundation walls. Liking the waterproofing system that was installed at his other property, he reached back out to us for help. 

We fully waterproofed this basement with the help of our CleanSpace vapor barrier, Waterguard, SuperSump Pump and IceGuard. Our CleanSpace is placed from floor to ceiling on the foundation walls and it is tied directly into the Waterguard perimeter drain. Any water that may think it is getting into this basement to cause issues, will be met by this barrier and it will be directed straight down to the Waterguard. Once water enters the Waterguard it will then travel over to the SuperSump Pump. SuperSump then takes that water and pumps it outside via the discharge line. As added protection for the basement, we installed our IceGuard on the exterior of the foundation, where the discharge line is. Thanks to the design of our Iceguard, it will stop any water from backing into the basement if and when the discharge line freezes in those cold winter months.

Water and mold destroyed this bathroom.  After dealing with the source of the mold by installing waterproofing system, we renovated this horrible bathroom into a new, clean, and dry space for the customer to enjoy.  In the process, we used inorganic materials so that there would be no chance of the mold coming back.  

This main support beam running in this basement was in need of some supports itself. We had the perfect solution for this problem, SmartJacks! SmartJacks are high capacity adjustable steel piers, designed to stop settling and even raise your floor back up to where it was. 

This old, cold, and leaking window needed to be replaced, so we installed an all-vinyl, energy efficient EverLast Basement Window. These windows are airtight but easy to open. When unlocked, both panes can be removed for cleaning or for passing objects through – like a ladder or another item you’d rather not carry through your house. 

We also installed a WellDuct window well drain in the window well outside. This drain is connected into the interior WaterGuard system to prevent window well flooding. We also wanted to prevent vapor transmission through the walls, so the ThermalDry Wall vapor barrier was installed. Not only does ThermalDry Wall help to lower relative humidity, it has a radiant shield which reflects up to 97% of the heat back into the basement.  

These are before and after pictures of a church that had such a bad moisture problem in their crawlspace that rot destroyed the floor.  The whole floor had to be removed, but before replacing it, the owners were smart enough to call Basement Systems USA to install a new CleanSpace system, complete with a SuperSump and SaniDry Dehumidifier so the new floor would be protected.
