Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Installation of WaterGuard and CleanSpace in Potomac, MD basement.

Before, this Burke, VA, basement was grappling with relentless water intrusion, a common yet distressing issue for many homeowners. As you can see in the photo, the space was far from the dry, safe area the family needed. Our team tackled the problem head-on, installing our efficient WaterGuard system, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our durable CleanSpace liner, topped off with an IceGuard for those cold, freeze-thaw cycles. This holistic approach turned the once-damp and dreary space into the dry, functional basement you observe in the after photo. Notice the transformation, demonstrating our commitment to providing reliable, long-lasting solutions and a remarkable customer experience.

This home was experiencing water intrusion through foundational cracks that was seeping into the basement. The cinderblock walls were also showing signs of bowing. To address these issues, we implemented a Water Guard system in the basement and added Carbon Fiber straps to the walls to prevent further bowing. Additionally, we installed a sump pump that leads to an external discharge line. With these improvements, the homeowner can now proceed with finishing the basement, free from worry about structural problems or water damage.

We addressed a customer's concern regarding a noisy sump pump during operation. To resolve the issue, we replaced their existing sump pump with a Triple Safe Sump Pump. This upgraded pump not only minimizes noise with its airtight lid but also provides additional protection against basement flooding by utilizing a battery backup system. The customer can now enjoy a quieter and more reliable sump pump solution.

Water was entering this McLean, VA home via the front stoop and traveling down the foundation wall into the basement. In the before photo, you can see the evidence of water damage going down the back wall. We exposed this wall to the base of the footer and applied a liquid rubberized waterproofing sealant and drain board. This ensures that there will be no future water issues.
