Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Canajoharie basement was struggling with water-damaged walls and constant leaking. Our team installed a CleanSpace liner to redirect the water and protect the walls from further damage. 

This Long Lake basement had CleanSpace, a SumpPump and a SaniDry Sedona installed as a long-term solution for a dry basement.

WaterGuard is a product that works behind the scenes so its place in the waterproofing system doesn’t often get highlighted, but this pair of before and after photos takes a close look at how it fits in to the basement. WaterGuard is installed where the floor meets the wall then covered with a new layer of concrete. Its purpose is to collect moisture that’s seeping into the basement and redirecting it to the sump pump where it can be sent out and away from the home. If you’re in need of a product to help facilitate water out of your basement, WaterGuard is here for you!

This customer had purchased the property a little over a year prior to giving us a call to look at their crawlspace. The ground was more or less entirely dirt, which meant moisture had no problem getting in and disrupting the house. One of our design specialists met with the homeowner and inspected the area to determine some possible solutions. After getting a good feel for the space and what could be done to combat the moisture, we demoed the project for the homeowner, and they liked what they saw. The first big step for waterproofing this crawlspace was to install CleanSpace along the ground and walls to create a protective barrier from any invading water. Next, a SaniDry Sedona was put in to keep the humidity as low as possible. Installation of this product is easy due to the small size of the dehumidifier, but make no mistake; the SaniDry Sedona is powerful and effective against moisture in the air. With these two products working to protect the crawlspace, water problems won’t be a worry for this homeowner.

This homeowner had some sizable cracks in their basement walls that leaked water from the outside. Luckily, the fix to this is simple, noninvasive, and clean-looking. While the installation process looks like a one-step job, it actually involves three closely-related steps. The first is a flexible sealant that goes across the entire length of the crack. Then, a strip of a porous, flexible foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is attached to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. The FlexiSpan works in all conditions and is not affected by any sort of pressure or movement with the walls. It also won’t leak or reopen like mortar-based repairs, making it a strong, reliable solution to any leaking basement cracks.
