Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Evansville, IN, reached out to us about concerns regarding his basement. The basement consisted of water leakage, making it unsafe to use the space for storage. One of the rooms in the basement had white walls with water and dirt stains running down the walls and to the ground. In some basements, Efflorescence can appear on the walls. Efflorescence is from the minerals in the concrete, mortar, or soil that dissolve in the water and are left behind when the water evaporates off the surface of the wall or floor. It appears as white powder or crystals and is sometimes confused with mold, but it is not alive. It is only a sign that water is coming through the wall or the floor. 

The BrightWall paneling system was installed with drilled-in white fasteners to the walls of the basement. Brightwall paneling drains any water leaks down behind it to the WaterGuard system without you even knowing it. It also stops water vapor from coming through the wall and evaporating into your basement. The WaterGuard system is placed into the small trench that was made beside the bottoms of the walls to direct water that is coming from behind the BrightWall. The whole basement was transformed into a bright and beautiful space to store anything safely. 

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner was concerned when water started to slowly flood their basement. There was a home settlement issue due to backfill. Backfill is loose soil that is used to fill the hold around the home's foundation after construction is completed. Dirt should be added so that water does not flow towards the foundation. Although wet weather floods the basement, so does dry weather. In periods of drought, the soil shrinks away from the foundation, leaving voids for the next rain to easily flow down into your basement. 

The basement was protected from water by creating an effective system to keep water out, such as the WaterGuard system.  The WaterGuard system directs water to the TripleSafe Sump pump, where the sump pump will pump water out of the house continuously. CleanSpace is placed on the walls to protect against water vapor. Since ClanSpace is placed against the walls, water can trickle down towards the WaterGuard without it leaking onto the floor of the basement. A system with great products such as these will prevent basement flooding from happening again. 

A basement in Evansville, IN was having a water leak through the windows. The windows were old and rotted on the sides, which allowed water to seep into the basement, causing a mess for the homeowner to maintain. If water is finding its way inside the basement, it can cause mold to form on the edges of the window. The homeowner was ready to switch out the old and leaky window for a more protective and lasting one which will be the most energy-efficient option. 

The old window was replaced with EverLast windows. EverLast windows are double panes of energy-efficient glass that are fixed and do not open. Basement windows are not meant to be opened, but to bring in extra light from outdoors. Many homeowners want a bright and inviting basement for the comfort of their home, which is why the EverLast window is the best solution. The homeowner had protection against water leaks as well as an upgraded look to the space. 

In Evansville, IN, a family needed their windows replaced due to water leakage. Upon arrival and inspection of the windows, the glass was cracked, with dirt crusted onto the frame of the window. One of the homeowners pointed out that they would love to have more natural light in the basement, but the windows were blocked with sheeting to prevent water from coming in through the cracks. Replacing the windows in the basement would not only brighten the place up but protect the space from future leaks.

The windows were replaced with the EverLast basement window. The EverLast window is energy-efficient, all-vinyl, and double-paned glass. Metal-framed windows rust, wood windows rot, and are difficult to keep painted. The EverLast windows are made with all-vinyl, so they will not fail like most windows. The homeowners were astonished by how the new EverLast windows transformed their basement into a lively space. 

In Mount Vernon, IN, a homeowner contacted us concerning her basement. The basement's brick walls, especially on the corner where her sump pump was located, were wet. Although her basement was not flooding after steady rainfall, there was still water that was in contact with the basement's environment. This will disrupt the environment and cause humidity and mold to form. The homeowner was ready to turn her dark, humid and uninviting space into a bright and safe place to store items/hang out in. 

To prevent water from future destruction to the walls, CleanSpace is laid alongside the walls. CleanSpace protects against water vapor that would cause the air in the basement to become humid. A SuperSump is put in to replace the old one the homeowner had. The SuperSump has an iron pump that will last long and pump water fast. Since the air in the basement was humid, a SaniDry Sedona empties itself being hooked up near the SuperSump that will empty water outside and away from the house.
