Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner had a leak in their basement and the floor was wet. There was no sump pump and the problem area was under a window in an unfinished part of the basement. We had the perfect solution for the home to keep it dry and the water out. We started with installing the WaterGuard system which is a French drain system that is under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. The system collects the water that leaks in from the walls and drains it to the sump pump to be expelled out of the home. We then installed a powerful sump pump which can pump 2,220 gallons of water per hour to keep the area dry and the homeowner happy!

This Battle Creek, MI homeowner was interested in a replacement basement window. The standard basement window is a small rectangle occasionally equipped with an aluminum or metal well encasement. Windows like these work well in most basements because lighting usually isn’t a huge factor, but when homeowners go through the effort of finishing their basement they prefer to be able to see it. At least that was this homeowner’s viewpoint.

To replace the original window, the team had to excavate the soil around the well and recut a larger hole into the wall. Our egress windows are vinyl framed and designed to never rust or decay like steel or wood-framed basement windows. The wells are the same way. Being made from plastic instead of metal means the well will keep the new window protected from a variety of elements without ever needing another replacement. As you can see in the after photo, the new well was installed with a cover on top and deeper into the ground than the previous unit. The cover allows light to reach the basement, but the homeowner will never have to worry about water getting in and ruining his window or walls. The one-day installation finished up just in time for the owner to enjoy the summer sun shining in through his new basement window.

Our customer called with a flooded finished basement. Or at least it used to be finished before it went underwater. She'd had one of our competitors out a few years ago. and they installed half of a system and then never came back to finish or fix what they'd improperly installed.

We installed a perimeter waterproofing system, including replacing the overwhelmed sump pump with two new pumps that covered the breadth of the basement.

A customer in Battle Creek, MI needed a solution to freezing and bursting pipes in their home that was causing their basement to be wet. Our solution? IceGuard. IceGuard is a grated discharge line protector for your sump pump line that can still function with a frozen underground pipe. It allows for water to leave your sump pump and be dumped outside even in freezing months. No need to worry about water in your basement in the winter with IceGuard!

A homeowner from Battle Creek contacted us about a free estimate on her basement. We drove to her home and noticed some issues with her waterproofing. We installed a SuperSump Sump Pump which is perfect for getting all of the water in the basement pumped out. The SuperSump contains a pump stand (prevents clogging of any debris in the sump liner), pump alarm (for when the basement floods), and an airtight sump lid with a floor drain in it (helps water to go down but not air to come up). Now this homeowner won't have to worry about a wet basement ever again.
