Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water intrusion had become a common thing in Jacky and Robert’s basement. They believed part of it was seeping in through cracks near the basement windows so they called our team and we replaced their windows with Egress Windows. Due to poor insulation around the window, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home. Egress windows help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. So, our team installed an Egress window which will help keep Robert and Jacky's basement better insulated. 

The homeowners had water coming into their basement where the floor and the wall meet. This water was particularly frightening for these homeowners because they had a finished basment and they did not want their belongings or their carpet to get ruined. 

Our professional team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system to stop the water from destroyer the homeowners finished basement. WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it damages your basement floor. The WaterGuard drainage system sits on the top of the footing inside the basement so the pipes do not get clogged by mud or anything else. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the sump pump. The sump pump then effectively removes the water from the home. 

The before picture shows the water that was seeping into the home. The after picture shows what the WaterGuard system looks like before it is covered with a clean layer of concrete. 

The homeowners finised basement is now clean and dry thanks to the WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system!  

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!
