Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner wanted to protect her property from water damage because she planned to stay there long-term. Our solution was the CleanSpace Wall system, a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier. It's perfect for unfinished basement walls and it comes with a 25-year warranty. CleanSpace was perfect for this customer because prevents humidity from seeping through concrete walls, installs quickly, and allowed them to use their basement again right away!

This customer owns a rental property and contacted us about water problems in the basement causing leaks in the carpeted area. We found that the water was coming through the concrete block wall. Water can seep through concrete block walls due to different reasons like pressure, small pores in the blocks, poor drainage, cracks, lack of waterproofing, and freezing and thawing cycles.

Pressure from water in the soil can force it through cracks or porous areas in the blocks during heavy rain. Poor drainage systems can lead to water build-up and pressure against the foundation. Cracks in the foundation or blocks create paths for water entry, and poor waterproofing makes the walls more vulnerable. In colder climates, freeze-thaw cycles can widen cracks and allow water to enter.

To solve the water problem, we used two solutions: WaterGuard and CleanSpace. WaterGuard is a drainage system that collects and redirects water along the basement walls. CleanSpace is a moisture-resistant barrier installed on the walls to prevent water and moisture from getting in. The renters are happy with the property owner's quick and effective resolution of the water issue and Midwest is happy to have helped!

Night and day difference right there! This basement had a lot of water damage and a bowing wall. After we performed an inspection, we determined the best action plan was to do a full perimeter interior drainage system, install a vapor barrier, and install PowerBrace wall system to support the failing wall. 

This customer needed a sleek, but efficient, solution to the problem of water in their basement! To make that happen, we installed TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System.
