Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The renovators for this newly purchased home knew that the epoxy sealant applied to the foundation walls was not going to help this basement stay dry. You see, epoxy sealants and other sealants of the same nature don't fix the root cause of basement leaking issues. The real problem is all the water pressure sitting on the outside of the foundation walls, and the best way to relieve that pressure is an interior perimeter waterproofing system. We installed our system equipped with subfloor drains, a sump pump, and a vapor barrier. This system invites the built up water through weeping holes near the bottom of the foundation, (as seen in the before photo) and discharges all the water far away from the base of the home. After the system was installed, the renovators were ready to finish the basement however they like. 

We installed a SuperSump Plus in this Winchester, KY, home to ensure water stays away from their foundation. The black battery seen next to the sump pump will turn on in case power outage ensues.

This basement had some mold stains and wet spots that showed up every time it rained. In order to stop the moisture problem, we installed a full perimeter interior waterproofing system, as well as a full CleanSpace moisture barrier installation. 

When installing a full interior perimeter waterproofing system, it's important to have a trench drain near doors leading outside. Stairs outside these doors are prone to ushering water towards your basement floor, and so its important to capture this water with a trench drain before it reaches the basement. This trench drain is connected to WaterGuard drains, which go beneath the floor and up against the basement walls. The drainage system as a whole then leads all the water to a SuperSump sump pump.

When we waterproofed this basement in Williamsburg, KY, the homeowner wanted us to also install our Brightwall panels to cover up their stained block walls. All of our wall products have a vapor barrier backing, and prevent mold growth. This particular wall system, called BrightWall, is our rigid paneling system, and will help channel wall leaks down into the subfloor drains. These wall panels are also extremely sleek and durable.
