Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These homeowners had a crack in their basement wall that was allowing water to seep in. The basement was partially finished and the house was the market, so the homeowners wanted to make sure the problem was taken care of properly. 

To fix this problem, we installed the FlexiSpan sealant that repairs water leaks due to a cracked wall. We started this installation by excavating a section of the concrete floor in the basement at the base of the crack. We then placed a drainage grate in the hole that will collect and drain water coming into the home. Because basement walls tend to move, the sealant material is flexible and moves with the wall to ensure the crack is effectively sealed and does not crack again in the future if the wall shifts. 

The homeowners were experiencing water coming into the basement because their old system was not doing the job that needed to be done. Water was getting back up in the old sump pump and damaging the basement floor.

Our professional team knew that something needed to be done. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed to replace the old broken sump pump. The TripSafe pump is three sump pumps in one and is the best option because it adjusts automatically when needed and keeps your basement dry with triple protection. The first pump will remove water from your basement effectively. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate drainage system that is there for you in the rare cases that the first pump fails. The third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out!

The homeowners were noticing water pooling in corners of there basement.  They had a sump pump, but it was not removing water from the home effectively.

Our professional team installed WaterGuard to combat the problem. WaterGuard is a long lasting interior perimeter basement waterproofing system. The product sits on the top of the footing to drain the water. The reason the system sits on top of the footing is so it's not sitting in mud preventing it from getting clogged and so it does not cause structural damage to the foundation. WaterGuard has a small opening where the product and the wall meet in order to catch the water that drains down from the wall and to collect floor seepage. The water then moves from WaterGuard to the sump pump where it is effectively removed from the home! 

The home is now waterproofed and the homeowners are now worried free!   

I can't stress enough how important it is to have a sump pump that works properly and is the right one for your home. This home was having water coming in through the poured concrete walls. They had previously had another company do the work but it didn't fix the problem and that company is not out of business. We were able to install our WaterGuard system and a sump pump to do the job

The sump pump we installed is our TripleSafe pump that that is literally the king or queen of all pumps. There are 3 pumps built in the 1 liner. The first pump does all the work but the 2nd pump is there in the case the first one can't keep up. Then the third pump is battery powered in the emergency case of a power outage. The TripleSafe also comes with an alarm to alert you if it can't keep up.

The best thing about all of our pumps not just the TripleSafe, is that they come with air tight lids. This ensures that water that enters the pump doesn't evaporate back into the air and create more moisture in your crawl space or basement. 

This Windsor Charter Township basement has been getting water intrusion during heavy rain The water is seeping in where the floors and wall meet and even through cracks in the floor. The owner has been thinking about adding a waterproofing system for a while and called us to see what his options would be. We helped him through the process and agreed that a drain system and sump pump would be the best option. We installed the WaterGuard French drain system and the TripleSafe sump pump to keep the water out of the basement!
