Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner was tired of getting water in their basement. They had us out right before the big storm and wanted their basement waterproofed. The System Design Specialists told them the crew would install WaterGuard. 

Homeowner Tiffany T. started to notice mold and water issues in the basement. She had major concerns about how this would not only impact her home but the foundation as well. Having had Midwest come out to her home before, she decided to give us another call.

Service Technician Brandon Rost went out to Tiffany’s home. He was able to identify that mold was forming on the interior walls and a section of foundation wall was failing.  To stabilize the failing foundation wall the crew installed a PowerBraces. We encapsulated and waterproofed the entire basement with CleanSpace and WaterGaurd. To help keep the humidity levels down we also installed a Sedona SaniDry Dehumidifier.

These customers both work at home and have plans to build an office in their basement. Before they can embark on that project, they must waterproof their basement, as water occasionally leaks in through the floor. We came in and installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace around the exterior perimeter of the basement running to a sump pump. Additionally, we installed IceGuard, a solution to clogged and frozen discharge lines. Now the basement is ready to be turned into a great workspace!

This customer was experiencing water leaking through cracks in their bowing walls. We came out and installed new powerbraces to repair the bowing walls and added in our waterproofing system of full wall cleanspace and a waterguard trench. 

Walter had experienced water intrusion in his basement on multiple occasions, which hindered his ability to fully enjoy the space. He desired to finish their basement, install attractive floor finishes, and transform it into a usable area within his home. Additionally, he expressed concerns about the basement's dim and gloomy atmosphere.

Furthermore, Walter was particularly worried about the potential presence of mold and musty smells, as he had lost his sense of smell and wanted to avoid dealing with such issues. After enduring years with an unfinished basement, he finally decided to invest in flooring and other enhancements. However, he wanted assurance that these improvements would not be compromised by future water problems.

To address these concerns, we installed full-height CleanSpace, a highly effective vapor barrier system that safeguards against mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors. Additionally, we installed a Triple Safe sump pump, providing the customer with added peace of mind and ample backup protection in the event of any future water infiltration.

By implementing these measures, we ensured that Walter's basement would be protected from potential water issues, allowing him to confidently proceed with their plans to finish the space and create a more inviting and enjoyable area within his home.
