Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This family in Johnston, IA called Midwest Foundation Repair to fix their wet basement. They had water in their basement each Spring and Fall. They were ready to have a dry basement all the time. The Midwest Foundation Team came to the rescue and waterproofed their basement. The family is now starting plans to finish their basement and extend their living space, now they can have a dry basement all the time. 

This homeowner wanted to keep his basement dry all year round, and since he had previously used our services, he decided to give us a call. 

We sent Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer to inspect the water problem in the basement of this homeowner. Michael found that the homeowner had not waterproofed any of the corners that commonly leaked water, and that the downspouts were pointed directly towards the basement. Michael solved this by installing a CleanSpace Basement Wall Vapor Barrier to the interior corners of the basement, burying the downspouts and directing them away from the basement, and he added PolyWells to protect the window from causing any water to seep into the basement.

When the project was complete, the homeowner was thrilled that the house looks good and that the installation was quick. Check out the installed PolyWells on the home's exterior!

This homeowner has tenants living in her basement and wants to ensure they have dry living conditions. She was getting water into her basement because of heavy rain and hydrostatic pressure on her foundation walls that allowed water to seep in. We were able to fix the problem by fully waterproofing her basement. We used our WaterGuard system and CleanSpace system, to make sure no water comes off the walls or through the cracks. Now this homeowner and her tenants can have peace of mind knowing they won't have to worry about the water. 

This homeowner's basement had many signs of water damage on all walls, including mold growth. The main goal was to increase the health and safety conditions within the home.  To address these concerns, we implemented a solution by adding CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that is attached to the walls. This product created a healthier and safer environment and also increased the value of the home. 

Geoff D. wanted to sell his home someday, but first he had to resolve a water problem in his basement. Before he could replace the ruined carpet and drywall, we needed someone to help him keep the basement dry - someone who would stand behind their work for the years ahead. That's why he called Midwest Foundation Repair.

We installed our Waterguard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to capture and direct any water to the sump pump. Cleanspace vapor barrier was also installed along the basement walls to prevent water from coming into contact with drywall, keeping the space clean, dry and safe.
