Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Preparing this Lexington, Kentucky Basement for Finishing by Waterproofing and Insulating
This basement in Lexington, KY had a tendency to leak water every time it rained. It also had a tendency to get extremely cold in the winter. After the homeowners saved up some money, they gave us a call so we could come out and provide a free estimate to help them achieve their goal of finishing their basement. Our estimate contained both a waterproofing section and an insulation section. Our Basement to Beautiful wall panels were suggested to the homeowners because these panels are the perfect pre-finishing insulation choice for many reasons. For one, they provide a waterproof vapor barrier and combine with our drainage systems. Secondly, they are much better at insulating than other foam options. And lastly, they have steel studs and built-in electrical outlets, making installing wall panels over them super convenient! After the homeowner agreed to our quote and we installed our systems, they were super pleased with the end result! Now they can happily finish their basement whichever way they please!

Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels
Here, you can see the steel studs on the panels. These studs differ from traditional studs because they leave two inches between them and the concrete wall. Other studs usually touch the walls, allowing for major heat transfer to occur. These panels were built to keep your basement and your house warm!
Water Resistant Panels
Here you can see how the panels tuck into our WaterGuard. The panels are moisture proof and won't grow any musty smells.
Built-in Electrical Wiring
It may be hard to tell, but circled in the pictures is two different wiring channels that you can run wires through.
TripleSafe Sump Pump
If you're going to spend lots of money on finishing your basement, we are going to recommend you get the TripleSafe seen here. This is our best system, and comes with three different pumps and two different discharge lines. One of the three pumps is powered by a battery backup system, which will kick on any time your power goes out.
Unfinished Wet Basement
The homeowners knew they had a huge basement, they just couldn't transform it until it was waterproofed.
