Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Clint B. from Mt. Carmel, IL was in major need of help in his basement. He has always had water issues, and he was starting a list of what needed to be done to his home. The water in the basement was high on the list, so he decided to give Healthy Spaces a call to come to inspect his home after reading reviews online. 

We send a Design Specialist out to Clint's home to perform a free inspection. He then sat down with the homeowner to discuss what needed to be done, and what products could do that for him. First, the mold was cleaned out of the basement to prepare a healthy environment. The basement got a brand new waterproofing system to keep the water out, as well as CleanSpace covering the basement walls. This wall system economically brightens your basement, as well as prevents mold growth.  Installing these products will keep their basement dry no matter what weather their house encounters.

Homeowner Chris S. had reoccurring water problems in his basement, but couldn't figure out why. He had a sump pump to get the water out, but it wasn't doing its job. He tried every solution he thought was possible, but every time it rained he found himself worrying about his basement. In the before photo, you can see that his sump pump didn't have a lid. It is very important to have an airtight sump lid to prevent water from evaporating into your basement. A lid is also important to stop stuff from falling into the sump and clogging it.

For this homeowner, our design specialist installed a new TripleSafe Sump Pump system to keep the basement dry. This sump pump includes an airtight lid, a floor drain, a pump stand, and a pump alarm. The alarm lets homeowners know if their pump has failed and they're in danger of being flooded. The water that enters through the sump pump will then be discharged through 2 lines from the basement and away from the home. 

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.
