Before & After Photos

Our homeowner was for a real finished look to their semi-finished basement space. Our crews came in and installed our patented WaterGuard system, wall systems, and new flooring. This space is now able to be used year-round and has a nice finished look that they can use year-round. 

Just covering the walls and adding flooring can often change the entire look of a space. 

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. 

Leaky basement walls can be very frustrating to homeowners. Leaks into basements can cause damage to stored belongings, as well as deterioration of the walls, therefore threatening the structural integrity of your home. It is imperative to have leaky basement walls waterproofed, to protect the longevity and stability of your home. Our crew of Waterproofing Experts installed system - returning peace of mind to these homeowners! To install a WaterGuard System, our crew first cuts a narrow trench into the concrete basement floor, right up against the bottom of the leaking wall. Inside of the trench, they lay down our WaterGuard Collection Tunnel, to catch all wall-water intrusion. After the Tunnel is installed, our crew pours fresh concrete around it, flush with the original floor to hold it in place, and to provide structural stability. When water enters the Tunnel, it is routed to a TripleSafe Sump Pump, which will pump it immediately away from the home. This Pump system is a 3-pump-in-1 machine, where each pump is activated if the previous one fails, or is overwhelmed by water volume. The TripleSafe Pump even works in the event of a power outage, as the last pump is battery operated. We than install a SaniDry Dehumidifier to address any excess moisture within the basement. The installation of our Waterproofing System protects homes from the devastating affects of water damage, and restores structural soundness and longevity to family homes. 

After dealing with a damp and leaky basement for many years, this family had finally had enough, and reached out to John's for help. We sent a Design Specialist to their home, to perform a thorough basement inspection, and provide effective waterproofing solutions. During his inspection, he found that water was seeping into the basement near the footing and base of the walls, creating a damp environment and threatening the stability of the walls and floor. To mediate this issue, and prevent further water damage to the basement, he suggested installing a WaterGuard System, to collect and expel all water intrusion safely away from the home. Additionally, he recommended installing a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier inside of the basement to control the relative humidity, and prevent mold growth. He explained to the homeowner, that due to the damp conditions of the basement, a dehumidifier was necessary to dry and filter the unhealthy air that was circulating throughout the entire home. The homeowner was pleased with these suggested solutions, and their project was scheduled.

Our crew of waterproofing experts arrived, and got straight to work! To install the WaterGuard System, they began by cutting a narrow trench right up against the bottom of the leaking basement walls. Inside of the trench, they placed our WaterGuard Collection Tunnels. All water will flow into the WaterGuard, and be routed into a SuperSump Pump, which will immediately expel the water safely away from the home via an underground discharge line. After installing the WaterGuard System, our crew poured fresh concrete around the Tunnels and the Pump, flush with the original concrete floor, to create a seamless and structurally intact surface. After installing the WaterGuard System, our crew installed a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier, to ensure a safe air quality throughout the entire home. Our SaniDry XP is an absolute powerhouse! It removes 10 times more moisture from the air, compared to a typical dehumidifier, but uses the same amount of electricity as a lesser machine. It runs fully automatically, saving homeowners time, while offering peace of mind. This powerful machine dries, cleans, filters, and removes allergens from the air - making homes safer and healthier! Now that this basement has been professionally waterproofed by the experts here at John's, this family can rest assured that the belongings in their basement will be safe from water damage, and that the air inside of their home is providing an environment where their family can thrive. After over 50 years in the Waterproofing Industry, we are the leading local experts in making homes drier and healthier everyday. Waterproofing your home is one of the best ways to protect your long-term investment, as well as the health of your loved ones.
