Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner was getting water in her basement making the house settle and causing a huge musty smell throughout her home. She wanted to stop her home from settling further and she wanted to have her home smell better. She gave us a call to get out advise as to what problem she should fix first. 

We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Paulson to inspect the basement and foundation to determine what problem would harm her home most and discover what problem needs to be fixed first. Tyler found that water was getting in the basement because in periods of heavy rain, water was pooling at the foundation wall and creeping into the the floor joints and walls. After careful consideration, Tyler came to the conclusion that the basement needed waterproofing in order to stop it from settling, otherwise the home would continue to settle; The air quality problems known from the musty smells could also lead to further health issues. When he talked with the homeowner, the homeowner agreed that the waterproofing needed to be done completely to ensure that no water would get into the home and cause problems.

One of our installation teams went to this home and began to install CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and WaterGuard Interior Drainage System to encapsulate and guide water out of the home. Next, they got to work on redirecting and burying the homeowner's downspouts so that they would send water away from the home's foundation. Finally, the team tackled the air quality problems by installing a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to rid the home of musty smells. When the homeowner saw the final product, she was very satisfied with her newly waterproofed home. Check out the new waterproofing systems!

This home was having trouble with water entering the basement. Due to the moisture in the basement there was an issue with mold as well. Midwest Foundation Repair waterproofed the basement and installed EverLast wall paneling.

This homeowner wanted to add additional protection in his home because his sump pump was not working and he was worried about the large amount of rain coming up. He knew of the TripleSafe Sump Pump and he thought it would be the perfect solution for him, so he gave us a call. 

We sent System Design Specialist Ryan Allen to talk with the homeowner and describe what happened to his old sump pump. Ryan found that the backup sump pump was not working and that the main sump pump was never getting a break. The homeowner was confident that the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was perfect for his, so our team installed it, then buried the discharge pipes.

The homeowner was so impressed with the installation process and how the new sump pump looks in his home. Check out his sump pump upgrade!
