Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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

In this comparison, you can see how the Healthy Spaces installation team is able to direct water from a leaking basement into a perimeter drain system called WaterGuard, which is then connected to a high powered sump pump system to keep the basement from flooding. After the WaterGuard system is installed, it is hidden by poured concrete so you can't even see it.

You can see the gray Waterguard drainage system has been placed in a trench along the entire basement perimeter. Waterguard is a unique system because it doesn't clog like traditional French drains. One of the reasons that this doesn't happen is that Waterguard sits out of the dirt beneath your foundation--it rests on the foundation footer, where it can capture both water coming in from below and water weeping in from the walls. The entire system is cemented in place to ensure a high quality finish. In fact, Waterguard is such an effective system that you can finish your basement and forget that it's there.

What's worse than a wet basement? These Owensboro, KY homeowners didn't know the answer to that either. With every rainfall, water would slowly creep into their basement. They bought fans to constantly run after storms to dry up the sitting water. They thought they fixed it themselves- once and for all, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. On top of the water problems, there was also mold growth occurring because of the water intrusion that was happening.

Chris Russel, one of our certified Design Specialists were sent out to the home to inspect the basement and let the homeowners the best solution to keep water out. A WaterGuard system was the answer. The WaterGuard spacers against the wall make a neat finished look and keep dirt and debris from the floor out of the gap, while not being seen. After the water is collected through the WaterGuard system, it is taken to the sump pump where it is pumped outside and away from the home through discharge lines. 

Our client in Owensboro, KY, had a basement that had been leaking for years. Not knowing where the water was coming in, he gave Healthy Spaces a call for a free inspection. Our team replaced their pre-existing sump pump with our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, which is designed to keep basements dry for long periods of time. On top of that, our service technicians can come out to the property once a year to perform annual maintenance.

A wet, musty, basement is something no one wants to deal with. Unfortunately, this was something Ken from Hartford, KY had been dealing with for years. Ken had a small basement leaking many places along the perimeter, especially in the corners. He said it is what he calls a utility basement that covers the middle half of the house, so he decided to call in the experts at Healthy Spaces, and a Design Specialist came to his home to do an inspection. 

This homeowner took the wind right out of those worries with a perimeter drainage system called WaterGuard. Our amazing crews installed this system on the footing of the home by removing a small amount of concrete around the base of the basement wall. The drain is put in place and the concrete is replaced aside from the small gap seen along the perimeter. A TripleSafe sump pump is then installed to take the water from the WaterGuard, outside, through the discharge line.
