Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Appleton, WI have been trying to find a good support product for their home's foundation for a long time now, however, every attempt has failed until now.

We installed 5 GeoLocks to their basement walls. These anchors use the hard compacted soil outside to firmly hold the wall in place. In fact, these anchors can be tightened over time to pull the wall back to its correct standing location.

Now that they have a guaranteed product to work, these homeowners are at peace of mind! 

Our team installed 8 GeoLocks around the perimeter of their basement walls. These anchors use the compacted soil outside to firmly hold the wall in place and keep it from bowing in any farther. Over time, these walls can be tightened to straighten the wall back to its proper location.

With repetitive water seeping through their basement walls, a residue called efflorescence is left behind. This crystallized salt leaves your basement walls with a white, unclean look. To remove this unsettling look, we installed the BrightWall. These white, waterproof panels turn any damaged wall into a new, bright, clean, one!

CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System installed in the home's crawl space will help eliminate moisture issues in the home above.

This durable, bright white crawl space liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.

Before

This Appleton, WI homeowner had a large storage closet in the basement that repeatedly took on water during heavy rains. Moisture was entering where the foundation wall met the floor, leaving damp concrete, musty odors, and concerns about damaging anything stored in the space. During our inspection, we confirmed that groundwater was collecting along the footing and finding its way into the basement through the cove joint—a common issue in Wisconsin due to saturated soils and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. To provide a permanent basement waterproofing solution, we recommended installing the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along with a SuperSump Sump Pump System. These systems work together to collect groundwater before it reaches the basement floor and safely discharge it away from the home.

After

Our crew carefully removed a section of concrete around the perimeter of the closet and installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System just above the footing, where it can intercept water while remaining protected from soil and debris that commonly clog traditional drain tile systems. We then installed a SuperSump Sump Pump System inside the closet to efficiently remove collected groundwater from the home. After restoring the concrete floor, the homeowner was left with a clean, finished installation that protects the basement from future water intrusion while preserving valuable storage space.
