Before & After Photos

Waterproof paint can offer a short term solution to deter water from entering the basement. But as water pressure pushes against the paint, it will begin to bubble and crack. Once water comes through, then water is once again in the basement. This home was dealing with this issue and the owners of the home were eager to have full access to their basement again. For an actual solution, the owners of the home connected with John's Waterproofing. To begin on this homes waterproofing solution we dug a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. Within this we laid a bed of gravel and our WaterGuard drain system. This will collect water and channel it to the lowest point of the basement where a TripleSafe sump pump can then direct the water away from the home via a discharge line. Along the walls we than installed out CleanSpace Wall system, which safely ensures water makes it down the walls into the WaterGuard. Now the owners of the home can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry, stable, and healthy. 

We installed our Waterguard system and Thermaldry wall system in this Eddyville basement to keep it dry and warm for years to come. 

This before and after is of a Super Sump installation. The Super Sump pump removes up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour smoothly and quietly. It comes with a built-in alarm system that will alert when water levels rise too high.

This home's basement doorway had a slope down to it, causing excessive water pressure, leading to water leaks under the door. This doorway had a small lower platform to accommodate the door, the homeowners weren't looking to dig down the rest of their basement, but this landing was severely damaged from cracks due to water pressure. We broke the apart, installed a TrenchDrain to collect the water, and re-poured the concrete.  

This homeowner wanted to redo their basement and make it a usable space in their home. After discovering that their basement had been experiencing water seeping in through the walls, they decided to reach out to John's Waterproofing to solve the issue before they completed their basement. We suggested that a full basement waterproofing process would the best long-term protection against water from seeping through again. This process begins by installing a drainage system along the interior perimeter of their basement. A trench is jackhammered into the concrete to make space for the WaterGuard drainage pipe to be installed. It is capable of collecting any water that tries to get through and offers it a safe passageway to flow through. It is placed along the footing of the basement and is lined with gravel to help prevent clogging. The WaterGuard connects to a TripleSafe sump pump. This three-pump system can collect gallons of water and push it out and away from the homes foundation. Once drainage is installed and the passage of water is controlled, then we install a ThermalDry vapor barrier. This silver vapor barrier goes along the basement walls to guide any moisture down below to the drainage system. It is able to do this securely because it is anchored to the walls and sealed with 4 in. thick waterproof tape. We shingle the base of the ThermalDry into the WaterGuard system, thus ensuring no water will have access into the basement. Something that makes ThermalDry different than other vapor barriers is that it is also provides a thermal break. This helps improves the homes energy efficiency to help control the environment in the basement and add comfortability to the space. Once this process is completed, the basement is fully waterproofed and ready for the homeowners to finish, thus adding more usable space to their home.
