Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Melrose, NY contacted Adirondack Basement Systems about a horizontal crack that ran the entire height of their basement wall. They had done some online research where they found information about our solution to sealing wall cracks. The crack in the wall was leaking water into the basement and looked very unsightly. As the homeowner was looking to sell their home, they needed a warrantied permanent solution to ensure confidence in a potential home buyer. Flexispan is a high-viscosity polyurethane polymer that fills in the crack allowing for flexibility. Overlayed on top of the crack is a secondary drainage that leads down to a drywell. A second layer of the polyurethane seals everything together to create a clean look and prevent any further leaks from the crack. This homeowner no longer has to worry about potential home buyers being uneasy and can show they have a warrantied solution to prevent future leaks!

This homeowner wanted to upgrade their old basement window, so they decided to look into an EverLast. EverLast windows are entirely customizable based on the shape and size of the opening, meaning each one is crafted just for you. EverLasts are available as a slider window or a fixed insert; the homeowner for this job went with the fixed insert, which is better suited to prevent leaks. Each EverLast product is built to prevent rot and rust by utilizing reinforced vinyl frames, making it much stronger than older windows. And, with its double-pane glass system, this product also helps reduce heat loss, making the EverLast an all-around perfect choice when it comes time to upgrade your basement windows. 

Our waterproofing systems have the power to transform a basement from a damp, wet area, to a dry space that allows plenty of options for future projects, whether it be finishing the basement, using it for storage, or whatever else you may have planned. Pictured here is CleanSpace with WaterGuard at the foot of the wall, both products acting as fantastic water facilitators, preventing moisture from pooling and causing damage.

This homeowner had a lot of water coming into the garage and a sump pump was the best option for them!

BrightWall is a great product to help your basement manage water coming in. When paired with WaterGuard, it can help facilitate and control incoming moisture and redirect it to the sump pump to be sent out of the home. BrightWall is also a great insulator and perfect for prepping a basement before being finished. Or, if a finished basement isn’t in your future, it works great on its own and doesn’t cause any disruption to the area. You can still place whatever you like up against it like any other wall!
