Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

After a history of water intrusion, our team installed a perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system along with lining the walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier wall system. A new Super Sump pump system was connected to the WaterGuard to keep the basement dry!

Water was always getting into this customers basement and in some areas they had standing water year round. Our solution to this problem was to install a Cleanspace vapor barrier, waterguard, SuperSump Pump and a battery back up.

This 150 year old church home had a leaky basement that was left unattended for years. Durning those unattended years, walls were flaking, mold was beginning to grow and there was a strong constant musty odor no matter the time of season. We came out and installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier, WaterGuard a SuperSump Pump, Iceguard and a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier. This system will keep your basement dry during the rainy seasons and humidity low during those hot humid months. 

The new homeowner had a 1915 stone foundation home, that was showing signs of water intrusion in the basement. The customer also mentioned that there was a sump pump in the basement, but the life of the motor had come to an end.

The long-term goal of this customer was to finish the basement, but if you know you have a water intrusion issue in the basement, your first step to finishing is taking care of the leaks. 

Knowing that water is entering in through the foundation walls, you need to stop that water from penetrating the foundation or redirect the water. Now if you don't want to excavate and waterproof from the exterior, which is not always a guaranteed correction, you'll want to redirect that water with the installation of our Cleanspace vapor barrier. Where to redirect the water to? This is where you would install our Waterguard perimeter drainage system ( Drytrak for those tight tricky spots or thick slabs like monolithic flooring). The Cleanspace will drain those leaking foundation walls, directly down into the Waterguard.

So at this point, water has leaked in through the foundation wall and the vapor barrier did its job and directed the moisture down to the perimeter drain, but it can not stay here, the point of a waterproofing system is to get water out of the basement, so it needs somewhere else to go. This is where we replaced their old non working sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump which collects the water from the waterguard and then discharges it on the exterior of the home.

Now finally having a warranted, dry basement, the homeowner can move on to the finishing portion and making this area in to a useable space!

For a homeowner from Parkesburg, PA, a troubling vertical crack running from floor to ceiling signaled a call for help. Previous DIY attempts had only worsened the situation. That's where we stepped in. Utilizing our effective FlexiSpan system, we ensured a durable, tight seal against water intrusion.
