Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

After living with significant water damage in the basement for a long time, this homeowner decided it was time to do an upgrade and make the space usable again. They called John's Waterproofing about fixing their leaky basement walls and offering a cleaner look. We informed the homeowner about our basement waterproofing process and they agreed it was the best solution to saving their basement. First, we installed a drainage system. This basement was clearly experiencing water damage from the cracks in the foundation walls and seeping in through the footing. We installed a WaterGuard drainage system that goes below the flooring and along the interior perimeter of the basement. This is able to collect any water that tries to seep through and offer a safe passageway for it to flow through as opposed to flooding. It is lined with gravel to help filter the water through and connects to a SuperSump Plus sump pump. The sump pump takes any water that is collected and can push it out of the basement and away from the homes foundation through a discharge line. After the drainage system is installed, we cover it with concrete so that the homeowner can still use the space however they want without noticing there is a full system beneath. Afterwards, we installed a CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier. This is a 20 mil thick liner made with woven fibers to keep moisture out. It is backed by a 25 year warranty against rips and tears to ensure long-lasting protection. Once this basement waterproofing process is completed, the homeowner gets the upgrade they needed to their basement and can use the space freely again.

To dry up this basement we installed our interior basement drainage system called Waterguard. The Waterguard was then connected to a TripleSafe Sump pump which then pumps the water out of the basement and away from the home. We then installed Thermaldry Basement Wall System. Thermaldry is a vapor barrier for your basement walls. The barrier also reflects heat back into the basement helping to keep it comfortable. This system will keep this basement dry for years to come. 

We installed our interior basement waterproofing system Waterguard in this basement, which is then connected to a sump pump to pump the water out of the system. In this case, we installed the Supersump in this customer's home. This sump pump will be able to keep up with the amount of water pumping into it and will keep this basement dry for years to come. 

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 homeowners basement was used as a utility space and general storage. The walls had cracked old waterproof paint, and water seeped in along the floor, leading to musty and damp odors throughout. To get the space to be usable and enjoy a semi-finished look, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. We installed a full interior drainage system using our WaterGuard, which will collect and channel the water to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. Along the walls we then installed our BrightWall paneling which is shingled into the new drain system so any moisture or water is safely collected. BrightWall is a waterproof material which will not mold or mildew, and brightens the space, giving it a semi-finished look once fully installed. To finish the project we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier.
