Before & After Photos

Concrete walls are naturally porous so they tend to act as hard sponges. Absorbing moisture from the surrounding soil and leading to high levels of indoor humidity. This can cause issues with mold, efflorescence and structural damage. The paint on the concrete walls in this basement were peeling and cold to the touch which was also an indication of moisture intrusion. These homeowners reached out and set up their free visit. we went out and thoroughly inspected this basement and came up with our best options for these homeowners so this basement could transform into a dry, stable and healthy space.

We began by creating a trench around the interior perimeter of this basement using a jack hammer, in the trench we add clean gravel rock and our WaterGuard drainage system on top to collect water from the walls and groundwater and direct it to the lowest point. Then this system gets concreted over, level with the floor. At the low point we install our SuperSump Plus to gather the water that enters and pump it outside of the home, away from the foundation. This home had several below below grade windows, for each, we install a WellDuct to direct water from the window well inside into the perimeter drainage system. On the porous concrete walls, we install our BrightWall system which will also help guide any moisture down into the WaterGuard system while providing a semi-finished look for this basement. The final piece was the dehumidifier which helps the space maintain healthy air, removing the excess moisture. Now, with this system in place these homeowners can have peace of mind. 

As this homes basement is prepped to be finished, the windows would need work. They had some minor leaking issues and were far to small to be used in the event of an emergency evacuation. After we had an installation crew waterproof the space, our finishing crew arrived to upgrade the window and the window well. 

This customer called due to water leaking into his basement continuously. He wanted to use his basement for more storage room but the water and moisture build-up was damaging everything. He gave us a call and our inspector went out and determined that a drainage system would be the best solution. Our crew went in and installed our Super sump pump with the interior drainage system we use. Our SuperSump pump is top rated and has high-volume pumping. It sits in an airtight container that works along with our WaterGuard system. After installing a drainage system the owner no longer has puddling water and could now use the basement for the storage he needed. 

Customer called that they have a finished basement that seemed sealed well but had water pouring down one side. We installed our patented WaterGuard system and a super sump. We demoed a whole wall and installed ThermalDry wall with Everlast Wall. 

Marilyn called in because she was about to put her home on the market and knew the vapor barrier in her crawl space needed to be replaced. Daniel gave her an estimate on replacing the vapor barrier but also on doing a full encapsulation and replacing her sump pump ensuring that there will be no water issues or damage for years.
