Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A WellDuct Window Well Drain was installed on this window to keep water from flooding the window well and leaking into the basement.  The window drain leads into the WaterGuard drains installed under the basement floor.

This particular home had a flood where their finished basement received water and moisture. Not only were they going to need a new waterproofing system, but also new walls that are safe from moisture and look clean. Instead of removing the whole wall, we only replaced the lower half of the dry wall that got wet. These new walls called EverLast Wall Panels are safe from water and moisture and come in various colors. Due to their inorganic nature, they can not grow mold or musty smells. We also installed our WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump to make sure their finished basement does not flood again. 

Hydrostatic pressure is the most common issue for basements that we see. When your foundation was first built, the builders have to dig up soil around the foundation and then have to backfill back around that foundation with the same soil. Because the soil was dug up, it's not as compact. This creates a clay bowl effect around your home, where water is more inclined to saturate the soil around your foundation because the soil was once broken up. With all this water sitting on the outside of your foundation, it creates a tremendous amount of pressure on the walls. In order to relieve this water pressure, we installed an interior waterproofing system that invites the built up water into the sump pump, and then the sump pump discharges that water far away from the home. We then installed PowerBraces on the bowed wall to make sure the wall is stabilized for good. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels to cover up the stained block walls.

This basement wall was caving in which is something that needs to be taken pretty seriously. It's important that bowing walls are help up by products that are strong, reliable, and durable, just like our PowerBrace's seen here.
