Before & After Photos

This basement had water seeping in through the brick wall and was causing mildew to grow. The homeowner was tired of their belongings being ruined from moisture and mildew so they gave us a call. Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system that is designed for basements to drain the water straight to a sump pump and is unseen to the homeowner. We also installed our BrightWall Paneling that gives any basement a clean fresh feel. The homeowner was so happy to not have to worry about storing things in the basement anymore. 

This homes basement had a shelf around the perimeter  from then the space was converted from a crawlspace to a basement. The homeowners had high energy bills and contacted us to insulate the space properly as well as install waterproofing to keep this space dry and healthy and lower the homes energy bills. 

The owner of this property had reached out to John's Waterproofing in 2018 about water coming into their basement. They thought the problem would be able to go away on its own and decided to cancel the basement waterproofing scheduled. In 2023, they reached out again about the same issue but still weren't ready to commit doing the project with the hopes it would once again dry up and go away. After contacting John's Waterproofing a third time in 2024, they decided to do the basement waterproofing as the issue persisted each year during rainy seasons. Now with the basement having a significant amount of water damage, we suggested installing a drainage system. This involves installing a perforated pipe along the interior perimeter of the basement that can collect and push water to a TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump is designed to safely collect water and push it away from a homes foundation, thus protecting against floods or moisture damage. To protect the foundation walls, the CleanSpace wall system is installed. This is a 20 mil thick woven vapor barrier that is designed to seal the basement walls and prevent water from seeping in. After completing the basement waterproofing, the owner was impressed and could see the difference in their newly dry basement.

The biggest headache started happening to this homeowner when they started to finish their basement but leaking water was damaging the work they were doing. Before new products could be damaged more, they called John's Waterproofing for a free inspection. Our inspector found that water was coming in at the foundation. Our crews installed a drainage system in their basement, with our patented WaterGuard system. It lays along the basement walls and will go unseen and drain down to a sump pump that will pump the water out. We installed our Super Sump pump that quietly pumps the water out and comes with an alarm that will go off if the water ever goes higher than the capacity of the pump to help prevent damage from happening. The homeowner was happy to have the water problem taken care of and that they could continue to finish the basement and not worry about leaking water constantly.
