Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Awesome before and after of a basement waterproofing job! We installed a full perimeter drainage system and a vapor barrier!

This homeowner just bought his new home and he was excited to start his first project of finishing the basement. When he went down to the basement to start working, he noticed that there were cracks in the walls which set off a worry about the home's structure and potential water damage. In his old home, he had used our services for foundation repair, so he decided to give us a call for a free inspection just to be safe and calm his worries.

We sent Service Technician Joe Rebik to inspect the homeowner's new basement to determine if there was any structural concern shown from the wall cracks. Joe found that there was a high level of hydrostatic pressure on the walls and that the walls were starting to move inwards, which is what caused the cracks to start showing and water to start seeping in. In order to fix this problem and help the homeowner to finish his basement, Joe designed a comprehensive structural and waterproofing system to fix all of the basement problems.

One of our installation teams came to this home and implemented this plan by utilizing PowerBraces to support the walls and push them back over time. After that, they started on waterproofing by installing a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and a full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to effectively drain water into a new Super Sump Pump that gets water up and away from the basement. The homeowner was very happy with the basement and he is excited to finish it now without worries. Check out these before and after pictures!

This customer was one of the 60% of Americans facing water problems in their basement. Unfortunately, water was also the reason the basement walls began to crumble too. 

To fix this, we installed CleanSpace, which is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier. To address the failing foundation walls, we installed EverBrace beams which are made of Zink-coated steel.

Both of these solutions also came with a 25-year warranty!

This homeowner was concerned about doors not opening and closing properly and even had to replace a window because it wasn't working. When we performed a home inspection, we found mold and efflorescence on the walls, which is a huge sign there's water damage in the basement, and we also discovered the floors were sagging, which is a sign of structural damage. To address the water intrusion, we installed a full perimeter interior drainage track, a sump pump, and full height. And to address the structural damage, we installed smart jacks to stabilize and help bring the floor back up, and we also installed power braces to stabilize the basement walls.

This customer just moved into her home a year ago and gave us a call because she wanted to know all there is to know about waterproofing and what systems they currently had in place. While we were at her home we discovered there was a blockage in the discharge line to one of her pumps that a landscaping wall had crushed. In order to get the line to work we had to dig a new trench over the wall and replace the ice guard, the lawn scape discharge, and the drain line.
