Before & After Photos

The renovators for this newly purchased home knew that the epoxy sealant applied to the foundation walls was not going to help this basement stay dry. You see, epoxy sealants and other sealants of the same nature don't fix the root cause of basement leaking issues. The real problem is all the water pressure sitting on the outside of the foundation walls, and the best way to relieve that pressure is an interior perimeter waterproofing system. We installed our system equipped with subfloor drains, a sump pump, and a vapor barrier. This system invites the built up water through weeping holes near the bottom of the foundation, (as seen in the before photo) and discharges all the water far away from the base of the home. After the system was installed, the renovators were ready to finish the basement however they like. 

Not only was this basement prone to flooding, it also had bowing walls that needed addressing. We often see bowing walls and waterproofing issues be intertwined from the effects of hydro-static pressure. This homeowner tried to fix the bowing issues years ago, but their steel beams were not holding up like ours would have. After we finished installing our waterproofing and PowerBrace systems, the basement became dry and is safe from structure failure. 

This basement was in need of a waterproofing job and we were ready to help. We installed Waterguard around the perimeter of the basement, and a SuperSump sump pump to complete the job. 

A homeowner in Louisville, Kentucky wanted to have Sunhouse Window Enclosures installed to the basement windows.  

When installing a full interior perimeter waterproofing system, it's important to have a trench drain near doors leading outside. Stairs outside these doors are prone to ushering water towards your basement floor, and so its important to capture this water with a trench drain before it reaches the basement. This trench drain is connected to WaterGuard drains, which go beneath the floor and up against the basement walls. The drainage system as a whole then leads all the water to a SuperSump sump pump.
