Before & After Photos

This basement was leaking water and was causing a moldy smell to leak above to the inhabitants of the home. We installed WaterGuard drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, a Sedona Sani Dry Dehumidifier, and trench drains to stop the basement from leaking. We also installed CleanSpace walls to help cosmetically, as well as help drain water from the walls to the system. 

On top of installing a full waterproofing system for this basement in Newport, Kentucky, we also installed our moisture barrier. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is our most economical wall option, but comes with some great benefits. For one, it can channel water leaks coming from the wall into the subfloor drainage system. Secondly, it helps control the musty smells in basements, and will never grow mold thanks to its inorganic nature. Lastly, it is easily installed and looks beautiful! 

This homeowner gave us a call because they suspected their existing sump pump was failing. They noticed it wasn't running as often as it normally should, and when they looked under the lid, the water line was above the activating switch. We replaced their old sump pump for them with our SuperSump sump pump. We also attached our UltraSump 4 battery backup system to the sump pump. The UltraSump pump goes fits in the sump liner, and is powered by a battery, (which is off to the right of the "after" picture). The UltraSump will turn on in case the main pump fails, or the power goes out. This homeowner won't have to worry about pump failures any longer thanks to the Basement Systems technologies. 

Basements that have a lot of water built up around their foundation will likely experience two problems: Bowed walls & water intrusions. Unfortunately for this homeowner in Dayton, KY, they were experiencing these problems. We fixed both problems by installing our interior perimeter waterproofing system and our steel I-beam wall repair system. The steel I-Beams we use are called PowerBraces and are not your average I-beams. They are super strong and corrosion resistant, they are able to straighten walls out over time, and were designed to prevent floor joist damage. They can even be fitted with our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, as seen in the photo below. After installing our two systems, the basement walls were relieved of tremendous amounts of pressure.

A 100-year-old home was having issues with water seeping into the basement. After meeting with us, the homeowner decided on our BrightWall paneling system, our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system, and our SuperSump premier sump pump system - equipped with an UltraSump battery backup system - to resolve the problems in the basement. 

BrightWall panels are used to cover the walls and will also help drain any wall leaks into the WaterGuard basement waterproofing system. The WaterGuard intercepts the water and drains it into the sump pump system. The SuperSump premier sump pump will remove the water from the basement at an elite rate. The UltraSump is the battery back-up pump system, and will turn on if there is ever a pump or power failure.

These systems working together will create a dry, comfortable basement that can be used without worries of water intrusion. The bright white color really brightens up the basement. Look at the difference this has made in this basement.
