Before & After Photos

Before: This basement in Covington, KY, was struggling with constant moisture issues. Water would seep in around the perimeter during heavy rains, and the space had a damp, musty feel that was beginning to affect the air quality in the rest of the home.

After: To permanently solve the issue, we installed a TripleSafe® sump pump system for reliable water removal — even during power outages. Along the basement perimeter, we added our WaterGuard® drainage system, which collects incoming water and channels it directly to the pump. We also sealed the walls with CleanSpace® vapor barrier, protecting against moisture while giving the space a cleaner, brighter look.

Now the basement is dry, protected, and ready for the long haul.

The owner of this home had been living there five years when they gave us a call. They were concerned about humidity issues, as well as having to replace their furnace filter every year. You see, this dirt floor in the basement was throwing dirt and dust around everywhere, and then the furnace would throw the dirt all around the upper levels of the home. The high humidity levels were also making the furnace work twice as hard, as it's way more difficult to heat and cool humid air versus dry air. We got the job done by waterproofing the whole basement with a CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a SuperSump sump pump. 

This home had a stone foundation, which is commonly seen in Bellevue, KY. When we gave a free quote for our interior waterproofing system consisting of our WaterGuard subfloor drains and a SuperSump sump pump, we also suggested our CleanSpace vapor barrier to cover the stone walls. This particular stone foundation was leaking, which was causing stains and musty smells. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is the perfect wall solution for uneven surfaces, like seen here. CleanSpace has antimicrobial material infused into the 20 mil liner, which will help keep musty smells out. It also tucks into the subfloor drainage system, which helps channel wall leaks down into the concealed drainage system beneath the floor.

This basement was leaking water and was causing a moldy smell to leak above to the inhabitants of the home. We installed WaterGuard drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, a Sedona Sani Dry Dehumidifier, and trench drains to stop the basement from leaking. We also installed CleanSpace walls to help cosmetically, as well as help drain water from the walls to the system. 

Basements that have a lot of water built up around their foundation will likely experience two problems: Bowed walls & water intrusions. Unfortunately for this homeowner in Dayton, KY, they were experiencing these problems. We fixed both problems by installing our interior perimeter waterproofing system and our steel I-beam wall repair system. The steel I-Beams we use are called PowerBraces and are not your average I-beams. They are super strong and corrosion resistant, they are able to straighten walls out over time, and were designed to prevent floor joist damage. They can even be fitted with our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, as seen in the photo below. After installing our two systems, the basement walls were relieved of tremendous amounts of pressure.
