Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In this home, water had been leaking in the basement walls every time it rained. They had our inspector come out to look and explore what options they had to fix the water issues. Our crews installed our WaterGuard system which is an interior drainage system that goes along the basement wall. When finished it is unseen and drains to a sump pump to pump the water out and away from the home. Along with the WaterGuard, we installed ThermalDry Wall that helps insulate the basement by reflecting heat back in. It also works along with the drainage system and is made of inorganic materials so that it cannot mold and will protect your walls from moisture damage. The homeowner was happy with the work and was ready to move on to remodeling his basement for full functional use. 

One of the things you can do is protect your foundation from the outside. We use a product called Paraseal. It is made of expandable granular bentonite that stops water from passing through it. Leaving your foundation protected from water getting in. 

This customer called due to water leaking into his basement continuously. He wanted to use his basement for more storage room but the water and moisture build-up was damaging everything. He gave us a call and our inspector went out and determined that a drainage system would be the best solution. Our crew went in and installed our Super sump pump with the interior drainage system we use. Our SuperSump pump is top rated and has high-volume pumping. It sits in an airtight container that works along with our WaterGuard system. After installing a drainage system the owner no longer has puddling water and could now use the basement for the storage he needed. 

Oftentimes we meet and talk to realtors and homeowners that are just looking to quickly get their house sold and need their house to pass code. Thisvapor barrier had been installed quickly to sell the home but was not properly sealed and quickly filled with debris. A quick Waterproofing job, is not a completed waterproofing job. 

This is a before and after of a crawl space in Portland, OR. We did a full encapsulation with CleanSpace and installed a SmartSump pump which has a Zoeller 1/3 hp cast-iron pump, an UltraSump pump that can pump 2,018 gallons per hour, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a smart drain and we repaired the posts using SmartJack. Crawl space is now healthy and dry for a long time to come.
