Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

David gets water into a corner of his partially finished basement every time it rains. To fix his problem, we installed the WaterGuard drain system. This system collects water that seeps into the area and drains it to the sump pump. We also installed a new sump pump, the TripleSafe Sump Pump. This sump pump provides the home with three levels of protection in case of pump malfunction or a power outage and gives the homeowner peace of mind that their home is safe.

Jamie and Brian want to finish their basement so that their son can move in. This is their forever home so they want everything to be done right, which means they need to install an Egress Window. The egress and window well allows for a safe exit in case of an emergency and is required if you have a room in the basement. We also installed the WaterGuard drain system and Basement to Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels to prep the basement for finishing. The drain system collects water that leaks into the space and sends it to the sump pump. The wall panels insulate the area and separate the finishing panels from the foundation walls to avoid cold spots!

Any diversions from a flat surface in your yard - hills, valleys, slants - can cause headaches when it comes to water. Our customer called because the slant to their driveway was helping water drain toward the house instead of away - sometimes it seemed to be coming right from the floor.

By installing TrenchDrain in the driveway, water can drain through the grated opening and divert to an outlet in the yard, far away from the house.

Let's be real no one ever thinks they're house is going to catch fire, or flood, or have something tragic happen. BUT, it does happen all the time. An egress window is a great idea to have in your basement because it allows a second way out in case of an emergency. The building code now also requires that every new home have two exits. 

We installed this egress window in this family's partially finished basement so they can have peace of mind that everyone is safe and can escape if needed.

Do you plan on spending more time in your basement, maybe making a bedroom  or playroom down there? Well, it's important that your house is up to code and safe with two exits in case of an emergency. The door is one exit and an egress window makes for the perfect second exit. We completely install the egress window/cover and do all the work for you. This will give you and your family peace of mind and helps with the resale value of your home if you ever want to sell it.
