Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Germanton, NC basement was showing signs of water intrusion damp concrete floors, water stains, and musty odors that made the space uncomfortable and at risk for mold growth. Without proper protection, moisture can weaken the foundation and damage valuable storage areas.

To solve these issues, our team installed a complete interior drainage system along the basement perimeter, paired with a reliable sump pump to direct water out and away from the home. These waterproofing solutions work together to keep the basement dry, protect the foundation, and improve indoor air quality.

Water seeped through the concrete block wall and into the basement due to the porous nature of the concrete, which allowed moisture to penetrate. This moisture caused efflorescence on the basement walls, a white, powdery deposit of salts left behind when water evaporates. To address this issue, our team waterproofed the basement with an interior drainage system, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and SaniDry Dehumidifier. The interior drainage system captures water seepage and directs it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which efficiently removes the water from the basement. The SaniDry Dehumidifier then controls humidity levels, preventing mold growth and further moisture damage, ensuring a dry and healthy basement environment.

Water leakage was ruining this basement and allowing mold to grow on the walls. To solve this problem, we installed a waterproofing system with WaterGuard drainage around the perimeter and a CleanSapce vapor barrier along the walls. This collects intruding water and sends out away from the home.

Our team recently installed a Triplesafe Sump Pump System to replace a customer's faulty system, which had caused water to enter their basement. The new system ensures reliable protection against water damage through its triple-redundancy design. The Triplesafe Sump Pump includes three pumps: a primary pump for regular water removal, a secondary pump for backup in case the primary fails, and a battery-operated pump for power outages. This system works by detecting rising water levels and activating the appropriate pump to efficiently discharge water away from the basement, preventing flooding and maintaining a dry, safe space.

To keep this crawl space dry and home healthy, we encapsulated the crawl space and installed a high-performance sump system to pump water out through an exterior discharge line.
