Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement in Tompkinsville, Kentucky had a block wall foundation that was leaking water. The homeowner had big plans to one day renovate this basement into a comfy living space. In order for this dream to come true for them, they were first going to have to waterproof it to make sure no water could come and ruin their finished touches. We installed a full interior perimeter waterproofing system that included vapor barriers around the walls, subfloor drains, a trench drain at the steps, a SuperSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. With this system, the homeowners are free to do whatever they please with the basement to make it a comfortable living space. The CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls can also have finished walls installed over them, ensuring everything stays dry.

We installed an interior waterproofing system for this basement in Monticello, KY. We wrapped our WaterGuard drains around the perimeter of the basement, right underneath the floor. We also wrapped the walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier system, installed a TripleSafe sump pump system (with a battery backup system), and we installed a trench drain at the base of the stairwell door. This system will keep this space dry, clean, and smelling fresh forever.

At this Lexington, KY, home, water was seeping through the stone foundation, leaving damp spots and musty odors in the basement. We waterproofed the basement by installing a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to capture water, remove it reliably, and control humidity. Stone foundations are tricky because water can sneak through even tiny gaps between the stones, but by combining drainage, pumping, and dehumidification, the basement is now dry, healthy, and fully protected, turning a potentially high-maintenance historic feature into a worry-free space.

As a result from all the hydrostatic pressure this basement foundation was receiving, the walls were bowing in and leaking water. In the before picture you can see the chipped paint, cracks, bowing, and the pool of water on the floor. In the after picture you can see PowerBraces holding the bowing walls up, CleanSpace walls covering the once dirty wall, fresh concrete over the hidden WaterGuard drains all around the perimeter of the basement, and a TripleSafe sump pump all the way in the corner. 

This home was leaking water into the basement, which was frustrating for the owner. We were able to help by installing CleanSpace, WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump. This interior perimeter waterproofing system will keep this basement dry and clean for a long, long time.
