Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

BrightWall panels provide many benefits to a basement. The panels are inorganic and waterproof stopping any water vapor, mold or mildew growth, and any potential warping. Many homeowners take advantage of BrightWall as the panels can save your basement from serious water damage and it's a quick way to brighten up your basement giving it a more finished look. 

A basement in South Bend, IN was in need of some waterproofing.  Heavy rains caused the home, built in 1942, to leak water in. The sump pump that was already there just couldn't handle the water.

Our professional team had the perfect solution.  In the before picture you see the original sump pump.  It wasn't doing the job that needed to be done for this basement.  In the after picture, we replaced the old, broken sump pump with one of our Triple Safe sump pumps.  The Triple Safe sump pump has three sump pumps in one. The first pump will do most of the pumping effectively. The second sump pump will be there in case the first one fails. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line to give you a boost in the rare cases you need it. The third pump is designed using batteries so it will be there for you if the power goes out. The Triple Safe sump pump is the best option because it adjusts automatically when needed and keeps your basement dry with triple protection! 

Just because winter is gloomy and cold doesn’t mean your basement has to be too. Kristen and Connor noticed that their basement was becoming chilly as the cold weather quickly approached. We suggested replacing their old drafty window. Not only does it stop the harsh winter winds from sneaking in, but it’s also a great source of natural light!

Homeowners wanted a finished and livable basement space so our team installed an egress window and well. Most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. Also, egress windows provide a safe exit in case of emergency so they are required in finished basement living areas. In addition to having a safe exit in your basement, these windows provide lots of natural light.

Water was leaking into Josiah’s crawl space from several different areas so our team installed SmartSump. The SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump was perfectly designed for crawl spaces. It prevents flooding by reducing moisture in the crawl space and by removing any water quickly. The drain connected to the pump takes the water out of your crawl space while not allowing any damp air to enter.
