After living with significant water damage in the basement for a long time, this homeowner decided it was time to do an upgrade and make the space usable again. They called John's Waterproofing about fixing their leaky basement walls and offering a cleaner look. We informed the homeowner about our basement waterproofing process and they agreed it was the best solution to saving their basement. First, we installed a drainage system. This basement was clearly experiencing water damage from the cracks in the foundation walls and seeping in through the footing. We installed a WaterGuard drainage system that goes below the flooring and along the interior perimeter of the basement. This is able to collect any water that tries to seep through and offer a safe passageway for it to flow through as opposed to flooding. It is lined with gravel to help filter the water through and connects to a SuperSump Plus sump pump. The sump pump takes any water that is collected and can push it out of the basement and away from the homes foundation through a discharge line. After the drainage system is installed, we cover it with concrete so that the homeowner can still use the space however they want without noticing there is a full system beneath. Afterwards, we installed a CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier. This is a 20 mil thick liner made with woven fibers to keep moisture out. It is backed by a 25 year warranty against rips and tears to ensure long-lasting protection. Once this basement waterproofing process is completed, the homeowner gets the upgrade they needed to their basement and can use the space freely again.
This space went from run down and unusable. After our crew was done the family had a functional area they could use for years to come!
We encapsulated this crawlspace and installed a waterproofing system to transform this wet and gross crawlspace to a dry and clean space.
This dirty vapor barrier is proof of an existing and reoccurring moisture issue. When the rains start this will begin to accumulate on the vapor barrier again.
This homeowner called because their older home had a basement they were using for storage. Water was leaking into the basement every time it would rain. They were becoming very frustrated because their stuff was getting water damage and the basement started to get a gross smell. Our crew went out and installed our patented WaterGuard system that is a special basement drainage system that goes along the basement wall and will drain into our SuperSump pump. To give the basement a nice finished look we also installed our BrightWall paneling that works in conjunction with our WaterGuard system. Now when it rains this homeowner won't have to worry about leakage and the basement looks nice and bright for years to come.
