Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These homeowners contacted us to have us seal off their crawl space and basement area from the earth, and as well as animals that were getting into their home. More importantly, they contact us because on top of the issues they were having with their crawl space they had a severe structural problem that had manifested due to the crawl space. These homeowners had been living with this problem for several years due to it being low on the list of things to do, but because they realized that there was an issue with the structural integrity of their home and wanting to eventually sell their home in the near future they figured why not do it now so we, as well the next homeowners can reap the rewards of being more comfortable. 

In order for us to take care of all the issues that were occurring in their crawl space, we had to implement a multilayered system. More specifically we had to first remove and dispose of the existing fiberglass from the crawl space to make way for all the improvements that were going to occur. Next, we removed the jagged rocks that were in the crawl space and filled in any and all rodent holes that had been created with concrete/gravel.

From there we started working on the structural issues that they had by digging under the girder to gain access to the middle of the crawl space so we could start installing our SmartJacks systems, which were strategically placed throughout their crawl space. Even though we did install our SmartJack systems throughout the area in order for their home to be structurally we had to sister their floor joists. Finally, we installed Drain mat and CleanSpace on the entire floor and wall along with 2.5" of closed-cell spray foam exterior walls and rim joists to encapsulate and seal off their home from the earth, make it more comfortable for them, and keep animals from coming in. 

These homeowners could not have been happier that they were able to take back control of their home. If they had questions about the process and how things were going to go our foreman was able to clarify and explain things clearly, which made them nothing but appreciative of all the hard work the crew was doing to help them and their home. 

The homeowner was concerned about dampness and moisture issues. Our crews installed Basement System's WaterGuard sytem to make sure everything is safe and dry, Our crew also poured an entire new floor because the old floor was in such bad shape.

The old wooden floor had rotted away. Now with the new concrete floor, the owners hope to use this as a living space!

Upon purchasing this commercial property, the new owner was faced with a major issue - water penetrating the building. The culprit? The pitch of the land the building was constructed on, which sloped towards the structure, compounded by the fact that it was built near a swamp. Despite having three sump pumps in place, they proved insufficient to handle the amount of water infiltration, resulting in frequent basement flooding.

To resolve the water infiltration issue, we began by removing the old baseboards and step footings to create a trench around the basement perimeter. Using jackhammers, we prepared the trench for our waterproofing system and cleared away any debris. Our solution included installing the SuperSump Plus sump pump system, with gravel and perforated pipe running through the trench and connected to the sump pump. We also installed drain mat where the curb used to be, ensuring that any water would be directed into our waterproofing system. In addition to these systems, we utilized our patented FlowGuard system along the perimeter of the basement. Finally, we applied concrete over the entire system to give it a seamless appearance. To complete the project, we installed the Basementaire dehumidifier and connected the condensate pump to the sump basin, creating a set-and-forget system. Our team left the property clean and free of debris.

Thanks to our project, the owner was able to open their business and utilize the basement for storage without worry of water infiltration. They can now have peace of mind knowing that their building is protected from water damage.

These homeowners purchased this home in November 2022. After purchasing, they decided to do a bunch of renovations. After living in their home for a while, they realized that they had an issue with water coming into their home. It was coming through their crawl space. When it rained, water would overflow and their crawl space and basement flooded. 

 Because of the issues at hand, they decided to call an experts and find out exactly what was going on in their home and how to fix the issue at hand.  

Upon our Specialist inspections, he realized that to take care of the problems, we needed to attack this with a three-part system. This system is comprised of our FlowGuard waterproofing system, two separate SuperSump Plus sump pumps, and our SmarJack system for their floors and foundation. 

To install the systems, we first created a trench around the perimeter of the crawl space. We then proceeded to clean it out. Once it was clean, we installed gravel and perforated piping, which we connected directly to our sump pumps. After this we applied our FlowGuard system against the walls of the crawl space. Once done, we started digging out strategic spots in their crawl space for our team to pour poured footings before installing our SmartJack systems. Finally, before leaving, we installed our Basementaire dehumidification system. 

Since completing their project, these homeowners have not had to worry about cleaning up water from their two spaces after a rain storm. As well they have not noticed any nasty smells upstairs anymore. Finally, their floors are as back to level as possible. They could not be any happier with how their project turned out. They are so glad that they decided to invest in their home.
