Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Basement egress windows can do a lot for your home. The biggest benefit for most homeowners is the ability to provide an emergency exit strategy for people living in the basement. It is required to have an egress window in the basement containing a bedroom. It also boosts the home value in this scenario, as it is also required to have an egress to count a basement bedroom on a home listing. Our basement windows also allow for lots of natural sunlight to reach the basement, which makes a very noticeable difference for darker basements.

Note: The dirt placed around the window well in the after picture will settle over time, as the ground takes time to compact the soil naturally. 

We replaced this customers sump pump in Lexington, KY, to improve their foundations waterproofing efficiency. You may also notice that we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier across the block wall to help control moisture seepage coming in from the leaky foundation. Lastly, the old waterproofing system was hooked up to exterior drains, which failed overtime from sitting in the "mud-zone." We replaced the drainage system with our patented interior system, which includes our WaterGuard subfloor drains across the perimeter of the basement. Our WaterGuard drains sit above the "mud-zone" on top of the footing of the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their waterproofing system just received a huge upgrade.

This window enclosure is able to trap and reflect sunlight into your basement, providing natural light. The enclosure also directs rain away from the well. 

This basement had an old pump that was not up to the homeowners standard. They called us to replace it with our state of the art TripleSafe sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery backup attached. 

This homeowner in Lexington, KY, took great pride in having the best festivity decorations in the whole neighborhood. They stored a lot of their decorations in their basement, including the witches seen in this before photo. However, you may notice that the homeowner had to keep their storage items a few inches from the floor of the basement due to flooding concerns. On top of the flooding, the humidity levels were high in the basement due to moisture transference through the walls. When we waterproofed the basement with our subfloor drains, our sump pump, and our dehumidifier, we also made sure to wrap the leaky walls with our CleanSpace system. This bright, fresh, and durable vapor barrier will make sure that this basement stays dry and clean. Now that the basement is safe from moisture, the homeowners can feel safe storing their seasonal items in the basement.
