Photo Album: Waterproofing and Finishing a Basement in Mount Vernon, IN
Having a waterproofed basement is great but a finished basement is even better! In Mount Vernon, Indiana, a homeowner wanted to take advantage of the extra space she had in her basement. Before finishing the basement, it needed to be waterproofed so that rainwater would not leak inside and ruin the finished basement. She had always dreamed of the space being a special hangout room for family and friends and wanted our help to accomplish that goal.
To begin that process, the drainage system such as the WaterGuard was installed to keep water inside the system and direct it towards the new TripleSafe sump pump. Once the waterproofing project was completed, it was time to create a finished space. The Everlast Wall Restoration was put on. The top half of the walls are EverLast panels that are cement boards with a washable, vinyl finish. The bottom half is considered the wall restoration. New flooring was put in, wrapping up the end of the job. The transformation left the homeowner astonished and excited for an extra space that will add value to her home.
