Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Ed had some water issues in his basement and wanted the water cleaned up so his basement could be dry. We installed the WaterGuard which is a French drain system that collects the water that seeps into the home and sends it to the sump pump. We also installed the SuperSump Premier Pump System. This system provides total protection and works perfectly with our drain systems.

When it rains, it floods- at least, that was the case for this East Lansing, MI resident. Water was regularly coming up through cracks in his basement floor and whenever it rained the seepage would get so bad that puddles would start to form. We’re always up for taking on mother nature, so when we received the call, we sent out our system design specialist to see what could be done about their problems.

The first step to solving this problem was keeping water out of the basement on a more permanent basis. Our TripleSafe sump pump is our most reliable sump pump system and features two discharge lines to push water out. The two lines combine outside of the house into a single pipe, seen in the after photo, that leads to a lawnscape outlet. Lawnscape outlets benefit situations like these by discharging the water at a safe distance from the foundation, guaranteeing that the water won’t reappear in the basement. As a reminder, the line was buried once the job was complete.

Lance gets water in his basement during heavy rain. He thinks it comes in where the floor meets the wall. We installed the WaterGuard system which is a French drain that is installed under the floor but above the foundation so that it won't clog and collects water that seeps in. The water that is collected is drained to the sump pump and then discharged outside the home. We also installed the SaniDry XP to keep the basement dry. This dehumidifier keeps dry air circulating throughout the space, drying out your basement. The water that is collected can be drained into a sump pump or a section of your perimeter drain.

Ryan recently bought this East Lansing home and noticed that there were some water issues in the basement. The basement was partically finished so the homeowner had to rip up the carpet and take down some drywall since it was damaged but they also needed to find where the water was coming from. We installed WaterGuard for him which is a French drain system that collects water that seeps into the home and drains it to the sump pump where it will be drained outside the home. This system is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it out of the "mud zone" so that the drain won't clog.

Our customer called with water in the basement that was wrecking the floors and the walls. They wanted to take care of the water problem, of course, but at the end of the day they also wanted the basement not to be an eyesore.

After installing WaterGuard, a new TripleSafe Sump Pump, WellDuct window well drainage, and LawnScape outlets with IceGuard, we went on to install our Basement to Beautiful panels, which provided a finished look without needing to complete a full basement remodel.
