Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner just bought his new home and he was excited to start his first project of finishing the basement. When he went down to the basement to start working, he noticed that there were cracks in the walls which set off a worry about the home's structure and potential water damage. In his old home, he had used our services for foundation repair, so he decided to give us a call for a free inspection just to be safe and calm his worries.

We sent Service Technician Joe Rebik to inspect the homeowner's new basement to determine if there was any structural concern shown from the wall cracks. Joe found that there was a high level of hydrostatic pressure on the walls and that the walls were starting to move inwards, which is what caused the cracks to start showing and water to start seeping in. In order to fix this problem and help the homeowner to finish his basement, Joe designed a comprehensive structural and waterproofing system to fix all of the basement problems.

One of our installation teams came to this home and implemented this plan by utilizing PowerBraces to support the walls and push them back over time. After that, they started on waterproofing by installing a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and a full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to effectively drain water into a new Super Sump Pump that gets water up and away from the basement. The homeowner was very happy with the basement and he is excited to finish it now without worries. Check out these before and after pictures!

This homeowner wanted to prevent water from coming into his basement. He simply wanted to restore his peace of mind and ensure that he wouldn't have to keep cleaning up the water mess. He had used our services previously for foundation support, so he knew just who to call for his waterproofing needs.

We sent Service Technician Brandon Rost to inspect the possible sources of water and start to implement solutions custom to the homeowner's needs. Brandon found that water was getting in through the cracks in the basement walls, so he knew that a full perimeter waterproofing solution would be necessary and beneficial. Brandon and one of our installation teams used Full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along with a Super Sump Pump to ensure that water was draining our of the basement and keeping the basement dry.

The homeowner was very happy with the work because it was fast, friendly, and done the right way. Check out this homeowner's new waterproofing systems!

Mold in your basement can seriously impact your health, as this customer found out. Breathing in the spores that grow when your basement is damp can lead to: 

allergies

immune suppression

lung disease

chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)

asthma

To stop the mold from wreaking havoc on this home any longer, we installed CleanSpace barrier which is 100% waterproof and comes with a 25-year warranty!

This homeowner wanted to protect their window from moisture as well as increase their curb appeal. They had used us previously for interior waterproofing in their basement, so they decided to give us a call about window moisture protection.

We sent Service Technician Brandon Rost to inspect the basement windows and determine why moisture was drawn to them. Brandon determined that the basement windows were at grade level which allowed dirt, snow, and leaves to pile up in front of them and cause potential problems of moisture. After talking to the homeowner, Brandon solved their problem by removing the dirt from around the windows and installing Poly Wells with covers to protect the windows.

The homeowner thought they looked pretty good. Check out their new Poly Wells!

Norma W. in Pella, IA, called us at Midwest Foundation Repair and reported extreme humidity levels in their basement during the fall season. Our System Design Specialist Jon Patterson arrived at the home and saw that the humidity was higher than any of the homes we inspect during July. To solve this, the customer chose to have our complete waterproofing system installed to keep their basement dry year-round. This system consists of our WaterGuard interior basement drainage system, CleanSpace waterproof barrier, and a SaniDry dehumidifier for excess moisture. Norma couldn’t have been happier with our solutions and the efficiency of our crews.
