Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners Roger and Zelda H. from Calhoun, Kentucky were experiencing water flooding into their basement with rains. As time went on, the problem got worse. They constantly had fans running in hopes of keeping the water under control. With the problem worsening, they decided to call for help.

System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came to the rescue! He inspected the basement and presented them with a same-day quote before he left. The homeowners agree to have the work done and they got their project scheduled. They were starting with a WaterGuard system that wraps around the perimeter of the basement and takes water directly to the sump pump. They also added CleanSpace on the walls to protect mold growth and well as water. This gives it a nice clean finish without ever having to worry about wet drywall again.

The homeowners are thrilled with how this project turned out and aren't dreading the next rainfall.

When there is water outside of a basement window, it will leak into the basement. This was exactly the case our homeowner in Calhoun, KY was experiencing! Healthy Spaces installed two EverLast Basement Windows, which are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed replacement windows. Designed with double-paned, low E glass, they are much more energy-efficient than the single-paned, steel-framed windows that are the industry standard. If you have rotting, outdated steel, and wood-framed basement windows, give Healthy Spaces a call today for your free inspection!

Water in the basement is never a good thing because it leads to increased moisture, mold, and an unhappy homeowner. This Island, KY homeowner was feeling all of these things. She finally decided to call Healthy Spaces for a free inspection.

Upon receiving Mary's call for help, Design Specialist, Mike McAtee was scheduled to do a thorough inspection of her basement. When he arrived, they greeted each other with a smile and the work began. He recommended that a new drainage system be installed to prevent any more leaking. This drainage system would be under the concrete, so it wouldn't be noticeable. It runs straight to the new TripleSafe sump pump that was also installed. 

This basement had quite a few issues, with the main one being mold. The major issue was water entering the space, mainly through wall cracks. In a small area, a little water feels like a really big issue and a large amount of water means real trouble. The homeowners knew their basement had issues, and finally, enough was enough. They gave Healthy Spaces a call and Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came out to the home and did a thorough inspection. 

A WaterGuard system would be installed around the perimeter of the basement to catch water and take it directly to the new TripleSafe sump pump. From there, the water would then be taken outside and released throughout the LawnScape outlet. The homeowners also decided to add IceGuard on to this in case the line would ever freeze, the water would still be able to come out of the basement. 

For the appearance factor of their new, dry basement, CleanSpace was placed on all of the walls. CleanSpace wall coverings provide an economical mold and mildew resistant layer to brighten up the space, and new expertly installed egress windows allow more light in and provide an emergency escape in the event of a fire. New double pane EverLast basement windows were also installed in the basement. These windows won't ever rot, rust, or even need paint. These windows won't ever ruin your finished basement from water running in. 

These Henderson, KY homeowners were at their wits end!  They had constant basement flooding the last two weeks and prior to that, seasonal flooding that had ruined the walls and floor of the basement, laundry room, and garage.  

After meeting with a dry basement expert from Healthy Spaces, the homeowners realized that they could have an interior drainage system installed in about 4 days that would leave their basement, laundry room, and garage dry all the time.

First, the Healthy Spaces installation team cut trenches into the perimeter of the three flooding areas, even around tricky corners and a curved fireplace.  Next, they installed a Waterguard interior drainage system and hooked it up to a powerful Zoeller sump pump system. 

In these two pictures, you can see where Steven Joseph and his installation team battled severe water intrusion to install the sump pump in the best location to remove all the water from the basement.  In the After picture, you can see what a difference the right system can make!  The basement is already dry and the system installation isn't quite finished yet!
