Before & After Photos

Customer called for water leaking into basement

Before we came, leaky walls and windows left this space a dirty wet mess. When our crew was finished the family was able to make this another bedroom and have more space and comfort. 

By using Smartjack steel posts to replace your old wooden ones. 

This home office was cold and smelled musty. The homeowner wanted to create a healthy space for them to work, so it was time to upgrade. We did a WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and BrightWall panels. 

The plan for this basement remodel was interrupted due to the homeowner finding water intrusion while demoing. This lead them to give John's a call to find them a permanent solution. We went out and thoroughly inspected the basement and found the problem areas and began to work up an estimate that will effectively address the issues. After talking with the homeowner and going over the game plan, we began this project.

First we use a jack hammer to create a trench around the interior perimeter of the basement, within this we install our WaterGuard. This system will collect all of the water that enters from the walls as well as ground water and drain it to the lowest point. At this low point, we install our TripleSafe Sump that will gather all of this collected water and pump it outside of the home and away from the foundation through a discharge line. Outside, we then install our LawnScape Outlet to keep debris out of the discharge line. Along the walls we install our ThermalDry radiant barrier that will help direct moisture from the walls down into the perimeter drainage system. This material also helps keep a comfortable temperature. To ensure the spaces relative humidity remains healthy, we than place a SaniDry dehumidifier in the basement. Now that the water issue is permanently addressed, this homeowner can now confidently finish remodeling their basement.
