How can I make a damp basement dry?

When it comes to keeping your damp basement dry, installing a dependable basement waterproofing system is key. An interior drainage system and sump pump work in tandem to keep water out of the basement and away from your foundation while a dehumidifier keeps the air dry and prevents condensation from forming on walls, ceilings, and windows.

How do I fix a leaky basement foundation?

There are many foundation waterproofing methods and products available to prevent water intrusion. However, most water problems can't be solved with a single product or treatment.

Basement Waterproofing Contractor in Clearfield, Kentucky

This basement in Clearfield, KY was showing signs of water intrusion along the walls and floor edges after heavy rain. To solve the problem, our team installed a CleanSpace wall liner to seal out moisture, paired with a full perimeter WaterGuard drainage system to capture and direct any incoming water to a new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe provides triple protection with backup pumping and battery power, ensuring the basement stays dry even during power outages. With these systems working together, the homeowners now have a clean, dry basement they can count on in any weather.

Sump Pump Installation in Irvine, Kentucky

When we waterproofed this basement in Irvine, Kentucky, we installed our most secure sump pump system, the TripleSafe, in the lowest graded part of the basement. This sump will take all the water that the WaterGuard subfloor drains channel to it, and safely discharge it away from the foundation of the home. The TripleSafe comes with three different pumps, including a battery backed one in case the power goes out. Like all of our sumps, it comes with an airtight lid, an alarm system, and an airtight floor drain.

Basement Waterproofing Contractor in Irvine, Kentucky

When we waterproofed this basement in Irvine, Kentucky, we also made sure to waterproof the hatchway as well. We installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains around the perimeter of the basement and hatchway, and we covered the walls in our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is our most economical wall option, but it is able to completely transform the look and feel of your basement. It's made with an antimicrobial material, keeping the space smelling fresh. The CleanSpace tucks into the WaterGuard wall flange, allowing moisture to seep down into the drainage system. The result is a new basement feel!

Basement Wall Repair & Waterproofing in Winchester, Kentucky

This basement in Winchester, KY, was under significant hydrostatic pressure, which caused the foundation walls to bow inward and allowed water to seep in. To correct the problem, our team installed a full interior waterproofing system along with PowerBraces to stabilize the walls. By waterproofing the basement, we helped relieve water pressure behind the walls, and with the bracing, we ensured the wall won't ever move again laterally. The waterproofing system included WaterGuard perimeter drains installed beneath the basement floor and connected to a SuperSump pump for reliable water removal. To finish the project, we installed BrightWall panels that give the basement a clean, bright look while directing any wall moisture straight into the drainage system.
