Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Geoff D. wanted to sell his home someday, but first he had to resolve a water problem in his basement. Before he could replace the ruined carpet and drywall, we needed someone to help him keep the basement dry - someone who would stand behind their work for the years ahead. That's why he called Midwest Foundation Repair.

We installed our Waterguard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to capture and direct any water to the sump pump. Cleanspace vapor barrier was also installed along the basement walls to prevent water from coming into contact with drywall, keeping the space clean, dry and safe.

This homeowner was noticing that their unburied discharge pipe was quickly wearing down and was also a tripping hazard. To fix this, we were able to find a convenient place to bury it under the sidewalk and in the yard while still ensuring the water was carried far enough from the home so it doesn't damage the foundation. 

Homeowner was seeing water leaking into their basement. They reached out to have us get it fixed. We used our CleanSpace and watergard system to move water our and away form the basement. 

Julie, a relatively new homeowner, had a strong desire to renovate her basement but realized that addressing the water issue was a prerequisite. Initially, Julie had contacted us for a concrete appointment, as the lack of proper sealing against the home was resulting in water infiltration into the basement. She suspected that the water was entering through the unsealed joints, causing moisture-related problems. Furthermore, the existing Waterguard system had become ineffective over time, leading to water seepage onto the carpet.

To tackle these challenges comprehensively, our team implemented a series of solutions. Firstly, we installed a full perimeter Waterguard system around the foundation to effectively manage water intrusion. Additionally, a new sump pump was installed in the pit to enhance water drainage. Lastly, we sealed the joints against the house using Nexus Pro, a reliable sealing product, to prevent water from infiltrating the basement.

By undertaking these measures, we ensured that Julie's basement was prepared for the desired renovations. The installation of the Waterguard system, along with the new sump pump and joint sealing, addressed the water-related issues, providing a secure and dry environment for future basement remodeling projects.
