Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Step by Step: Basement Waterproofing System - Beaverton, OR

The full basement waterproofing process is designed to ensure that you get to add more usable living space to your home by keeping it dry and healthy. This homeowner was looking to do upgrades to make their home feel more spacious. But, their basement was filled with water damage and mold. They reached out to John's Waterproofing about saving their basement and they agreed that the full basement waterproofing system would be the perfect solution. To begin this process, we need to install a drainage system. This includes installing WaterGuard along the interior perimeter of the basement. This creates a safe passageway for water to flow through and be sent to the TripleSafe sump pump. This three-pump system is designed to be able to pump out gallons of water safely and send it away from the homes foundation. Once the drainage system is installed, now there is control of water and we can address the walls. We used both BrightWall paneling and our CleanSpace wall system. BrightWall is applied directly to the existing walls and is a paneling that offers a semi-finished look. It is made of materials that won't rot or mold and can guide moisture down the wall to the drainage system to be pushed out. The last step in a complete basement waterproofing process is installing a SaniDry dehumidifier. This dehumidifier pulls moisture out of the air and controls the environment to avoid mold growth. After everything is installed, now this homeowner gets to enjoy a dry and healthy basement, adding more usable living space to their home.
