Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner was having problems with water coming into her basement. She really hated the damp air this water created, and she wanted to use her basement for storage, so she knew that she had to fix this problem. After searching for the right solutions, she came across our reviews and determined that she wanted to work with us, so she gave us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Todd King to inspect the basement and determine where the water was coming from as well as how to stop this problem. Todd found that water was coming in from the cold joints in the foundation and the sitting water had been causing high humidity throughout her basement. When Todd finished his inspection, he discussed how a full perimeter solution as well as a new sump pump and dehumidifier would help solve her basement problems once and for all. She was excited to here this news, so when our installation team arrived, they got right to work, starting with installing a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System with a full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. These perimeter solutions will work to keep the entire basement dry while the newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump System and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier will help to keep the basement dry and control the air quality. The homeowner was so happy with the final products and she can't wait to use her basement! check out the basement transformation!

Water was leaking into the room through the cold joints and had nowhere to go except flow across the floor and try to get to the sump pump placed in her utility room. To solve this problem without damaging the customer's bathroom, we set up a 32-inch CleanSpace and a WaterGuard system. Additionally, we installed a new sump pump in the corner of her room to help redirect the water effectively.

At Midwest, we take pride in delivering top-notch services that protect your home and belongings. In a recent project, we had the opportunity to help a homeowner whose basement was experiencing water damage, jeopardizing their family keepsakes. 

To take action against water infiltration and protect the homeowner's valuables, we implemented installed two products: WaterGuard and CleanSpace. WaterGuard is a highly effective drainage system that stops water at the perimeter of the basement, preventing it from entering the living space. This solution ensures that any water infiltrating the area is efficiently channeled away, providing protection to the home.

CleanSpace is a moisture-resistant liner that can be installed on the basement walls and floors, creating a clean and dry environment. CleanSpace not only enhances the overall appearance of the basement but also acts as a barrier against moisture, mold, and mildew. These solutions gave this homeowner peace of mind and the confidence to store their items in the basement.

This customer had a problem with water getting into her basement and causing mold to grow, making it difficult for her to use the space for her quilting projects. The water was seeping in through the walls and damaging the drywall too. To tix these issues we used a combination of different methods. First, our team removed all the damaged drywall and installed something called Cleanspace. This helped prevent any more moisture from coming in and causing further problems.

We also used a system called Waterguard to manage the drainage of water within the basement. This helped to keep the space dry and prevented any more water from seeping in. To improve the air quality and reduce humidity levels, we installed a device called Sanidry Sedona. This made the basement a healthier environment and helped prevent any more mold from growing.

Thanks to our hard work and careful attention to detail, the customer was extremely happy with the results. She could now use her basement for quilting without worrying about water or mold issues.

This project consisted of multiple parts, including fixing a settlement issue that will be fixed in a few weeks. The homeowner also wanted to install water infiltration through the walls and improve the home's energy efficiency by adding insulation. We installed rim joist insulation to boost the energy efficiency in her home. We also implemented a vapor barrier to protect the walls from water and moisture, which gave our customer peace of mind.
