This homes basement had long been an issue. The space flooded often and the owners had pretty much written the space off. This is until they began wishing they could add that square footage as storage. Now they had a reason to upgrade. They had the plumbing upgraded and had John's out to waterproof the space. We installed our WaterGuard drain system along the interior perimeter of the room. This collects and channels the water to the new TripleSafe sump pump. This than sends all the water safely away from the homes foundation. We then installed our BrightWall paneling along the foundation walls. This will provide a semi-finished look for the space, which is easy to clean and will not rot or mildew. The owners are excited to make use of this space for the first time since purchasing the home.
Being able to add more usable space to your home is important. One way to do that is by waterproofing and finishing the basement. This homeowners finished basement had not been waterproofed, so they experienced water intrusion every time there was heavy rainfall and could no longer use their basement. They reached out to John's Waterproofing about fixing the issue before another rainy season. The basement waterproofing process involves installing a drainage system using WaterGuard and a SuperSump Plus sump pump. These two work together to collect any water that tries to seep through and can safely push it out and away from the homes foundation. Once the drainage system is installed, it is completely covered with concrete to offer the homeowner a discreet look. To protect the walls, we install ThermalDry. This is a heat and vapor barrier that help to guide moisture down below to the drainage system, while also helping to keep heat in the room. After the basement has been waterproofed, then we can finish the walls with drywall. Now, this homeowner gets to enjoy their basement all year round knowing that it will stay dry and healthy.
Our crew came over and help finish this space with waterproof Thermaldry Elite Flooring and a Waterproofing system. The results speak for themselves! You get a good-looking space that is also protected from any ground water damage! That’s a win-win in our book!
This basment was waterproofed with our Waterguard system and finished with our Bright wall and Thermaldry flooring system. Kepping it dry and nice looking for years to come.
This basement was taking on water, some of which was coming through the window. We installed a window well so that any water leaking in will be caught and drained out. Also featured in this picture is the SaniDry dehumidifier and our ThermalDry elite flooring.
