Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Leaking Basement and Unstable Foundation in Edwardsport, IN

Seth S. from Edwardsport, Indiana called Healthy Spaces because his basement couldn't keep up with the water. He also thought that he might have some foundation issues because of the cracks that have been appearing on the block walls. With thoughts of eventually selling his home, he wanted to make sure all repairs were made before it went on the market. Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, completed a free inspection of Seth's home. He concluded that the water issues would be an easy fix with a new drainage system. He also recommended that a new TripleSafe sump pump with a battery back up was installed to keep up with the drainage system and rain. As Seth originally thought, he also was experiencing foundation problems. Damon recommended that our PowerBrace system be installed so that the wall could be straightened over time. Overall, Seth is very happy with the results Healthy Spaces has given him, and he was even able to make part of it a home gym.

Water Intrusion Becoming a Hassle

Seth was struggling with water seeping into his basement where the wall meets the floor. This is what she frequently faced when entering her basement.

Stair-Step Cracking in Block Walls

Stair-step cracking is another common sign of foundation issues and typically means the problem is getting worse. Eventually, this wall would have started to bow.

A New Wall Barrier

The CleanSpace vapor barrier will keep mold and moisture out of the basement, while also transforming the space with a bright finished look.

A Stable Foundation

The PowerBraces were installed to give the foundation more support. They can be installed with no disruption to outside soils or landscaping. This foundation wall system installs quickly in your home, immediately and permanently halting the inward movement of your foundation walls.

Water-free Space

Once the drain is in place along the footing and stone is leveled off around it, concrete is replaced so that the floor is smooth seamless. Seth has even turned his new space into a place where he can work out.
