Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

At this recently purchased home, the owner had a rainstorm that caused water to flow into the basement where the floor and wall meet. In order to get water to properly flow to the sump pump, we installed our interior water drain system, WaterGuard, which captures any seepage or water leaks. The sub-floor drainage system is laid flush around the perimeter of the basement and is designed to keep your basement dry all year round. 

This old, cold, and leaking window needed to be replaced, so we installed an all-vinyl, energy-efficient EverLast Basement Window. These windows are airtight but easy to open. When unlocked, both panes can be removed for cleaning or for passing objects through – like a ladder or another item you’d rather not carry through your house.

We also installed a WellDuct window well drain in the window well outside. This drain is connected to the interior WaterGuard system to prevent window well flooding. We also wanted to prevent vapor transmission through the walls, so the ThermalDry Wall vapor barrier was installed. Not only does ThermalDry Wall help to lower relative humidity, but it also has a radiant shield that reflects up to 97% of the heat back into the basement.

This customer reached out regarding their finished basement and had a window that had been leaking due to heavy rainfall. Our team had gone out to the property to remove the part of the wall to install our WellDuct Window drain. The window drain prevents the window from flooding your basement and transports the water straight from the window down to the sub-floor drainage system that connects to the sump pump.

In this unfinished basement, water would build up at the back door due to the old trench drain collecting debris. We were able to remove the old trench drain from the entryway and installed our TrenchDrain water system. The sub-floor drain captures any surface water and has a grated cover that can easily be removed and cleaned, keeping your basement entry dry.  

At this Baltimore home, the sump pump was no longer pumping enough water out. We had our team dig out the sump and install our SuperSump pump system with a Zoeller M53 cast iron pump, liner and airtight lid. This product has features such as an alarm system for when the water level rises, if a breaker trips, or if there is a malfunction. This sump system protects your basement from flooding and seals off any odor or harmful gases that could potentially escape.
