This home had a basement with leaking foundation walls. For years they had been applying a waterproof paint over the walls, but the water kept coming back. The homeowners were ready for a long term solution, and turned to John's Waterproofing.
This basement had water coming in, the homeowners quickly boxed and bagged up the items in the space and moved it to the portion that had remained dry. They called up John's Waterproofing to get a free inspection and estimate to see how they could solve this problem. We installed a full perimeter WaterGuard drainage system to grade the collected water to a TripleSafe sump pump. The walls then had BrightWall paneling installed to keep any wall moisture directed down into the drain system to be dispelled. To complete the job we installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier.
The customer called because they had an unfinished portion of their basement that constantly had moisture. Constant moisture under your house can cause numerous problems. Such as mold growth, rotting posts, and musty smells that spread to the house. Our crews installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mils thick and seals the space. The customer was so happy because now they could use this part of the basement for storage.
This home had a WaterGuard Drainage system installed a few years back, and while the water and moisture were addressed, the old water stains on the walls were still there. To get a semi-finished look in the basement, the homeowners had us install BrightWall panels along the walls. These will not mold or mildew, and are easy to clean while also brightening the space.
This homes basement had been finished, but water was leaking through the walls. Along the floor a dampness was felt, and this was discovered on the lowest sections of the drywall as well. The homeowners pulled off a section of the drywall and discovered the fiberglass in the walls had some mildew growing. It was holding onto that moisture and just slowly leaking down. To address this issue we went in and removed the rest of the drywall and fiberglass insulation. We then installed a full interior perimeter waterproofing system with a sump pump to collect water and send it away from the home. On the walls we installed our ThermalDry radiant vapor barrier. This will provide a thermal break as well as act as a vapor barrier to safely guide the moisture from the wall down to the new drain system. We then refinished the walls. Now the space is usable once again and protected against water damage.
