No More Water: Basement Waterproofing - Portland, OR

This homeowner reached out to John's Waterproofing after realizing that water was getting into their basement through the walls every time there was heavy rainfall. They wanted a solution that would protect their basement throughout the wet seasons and still look nice. They agreed that doing a basement waterproofing system would perfect to solve their problems. This is when we install a drainage system along the interior perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is a pipe system that goes beneath the foundation floors that catches water and gives it a safe passageway to flow through without getting into the basement. It is lined with gravel to filter the water through, preventing clogging and is covered over with concrete to be discreet. It connects to a TripleSafe sump pump that works to push the water from the WaterGuard out and away from the homes foundation. We then installed a CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. This white liner gives the appearance of a clean look while also protecting the walls from moisture. It is made with woven fibers that seal to the walls with waterproof tape. This vapor barrier guides moisture from the walls down to the drainage system to be pushed away from the home. With all these steps completed, this basement is no longer at risk of water seeping through during any season and also has a clean look for the homeowner.
