Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Washington, IN, a homeowner reached out to Healthy Spaces about mold concerns in his basement. He wanted a thorough inspection of the space to see what solutions we could provide. There was mold present on the bottom halves of the walls, where water was likely coming in through. The basement needed a waterproofing system to fix the issue for good. 

CleanSpace was installed on the walls to protect against water vapor. The water vapor will be trapped by the CleanSpace, enabling it to move down to the WaterGuard system.  The WaterGuard receives the water and then carries it toward the sump pump. The homeowner was impressed that such a simple system would keep his basement looking nice and dry! 

It is never pleasant to find water on your basement floor after a rainstorm. It can also be frustrating when your keepsakes are at risk of ruining if repeated rainwater leaked in again. A similar occurrence happened in Rockport, IN. A homeowner reached out to Healthy Spaces in hopes of waterproofing his basement. 

The best solution for the basement is to install the WaterGuard system to direct water toward the sump pump, leaving the ground completely dry. The basement needed a dependable dehumidifier such as the SaniDry Sedona, which will collect the water vapor and bring it to the sump pump. The SuperSump pump was the best sump pump for this basement. Lastly, the homeowner wanted a finished look, so BrightWall panels were put in. The waterproofing system was finished and ready to protect the home from future rain storms, leaving the customer satisfied! 

If you are spotting mold in your basement, then you are more than likely breathing in the mold upstairs. This occurrence is called the stair stack effect, which creates an airflow in your home from bottom to top. A homeowner in Hartford, Kentucky had this exact issue in their basement.  Whatever is in your crawl space/basement air is in your house also, whether or not you spend any time in the crawl space. Upon inspection, the basement was damp and there was water leaking from the walls whenever it rained, getting the carpet wet. The homeowner was interested in waterproofing his basement so that it can become usable again. 

To begin the transformation, every wooden beam that was affected by mold was scrubbed and treated in the basement. Once this portion of the job was completed, the CleanSpace liner is secured on the walls to protect against water vapor. A small trench is dug out alongside the walls for the Waterguard to be placed in. It sits on the footing, instead of alongside it, which keeps mud from getting into the drain because the drain does not sit in the mud. It has a built-in 3/8-inch gap between the floor and the wall to drain wall leaks. Once the waterproofing segment was completed, the basement was now safe for storage. 

Having a sump pump is handy, especially when water is leaking into your basement. A homeowner in Evansville, Indiana, was having complications in her home. Whenever it rained outdoors, the rainwater would find its way inside the basement, causing more chaos to clean up. Peace of mind is what a lot of homeowners such as Tracy wish for, and that is exactly what Healthy Spaces is for!

The best sump pump for this occasion is the TripleSafe sump pump. It has a cast iron pump inside that is quiet, cools well, and lasts longer than standard, plastic pumps. In case the power would ever go out or the pump would fail, then a battery backup is a great option to purchase, It is a specially designed maintenance-free battery that pumps over 12,000 or 24,000 gallons of water. With this simple fix, the homeowner now does not have to worry each time it rains. 

A homeowner in Evansville, Indiana was interested in waterproofing their basement. One request he made was to replace the window in the basement. He wanted a window that would bring the most light in and was sealed to prevent a cold draft. 

The EverLast energy-efficient, all-vinyl windows were installed to replace the old ones. The new windows look much better and do not let the wind in. This is a perfect replacement for a damp environment close to the ground. The homeowner was pleased with the new replacement windows, knowing that he wouldn't have to feel a cold draft in the winter again!
