Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Fairfield, IL family used their basement as storage for decorations, exercise equipment, and old keepsakes. They started to experience water intrusion a couple of years ago, but they didn't think it was anything to worry about, but they learned they were wrong. The crack that once started small had grown, allowing a decent amount of water to get into the basement every time it rained and stormed. The homeowners were tired of worrying about the "what if's" and gave us a call.

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, was sent to the home to do a thorough inspection. After he was finished, he concluded that the basement would need a few upgrades to keep it dry. First, a WaterGuard system was installed. This system is buried into the perimeter of the basement and covered with concrete so you can't see it. The water that is caught from the WaterGuard goes directly to the port, and it is drained into the new TripleSafe sump pump and released through the discharge line. They decided to install longer discharge lines to keep the water flowing away from the home. Lastly, they installed a CleanSpace wall barrier that acts as a barrier to keep mold and moisture out of the basement. 

This Fairfield, IL home had a cold concrete floor that was uncomfortable and just unappealing. The homeowner, Julie D., wanted to have a complete finish look to their basement so all can enjoy it. After having us waterproof her basement to make sure it stayed dry, she opted to have the flooring installed by us as well. 

The solution for this basement was to install ThermalDry basement floor tiles. Unlike ceramic basement floor tiles, ThermalDry basement flooring will never crack or shatter. They are stain-resistant, and their interlocking design assures that damaged tiles can be easily replaced. Another great benefit of this product is that it cannot be damaged by water or humidity. Lastly, there is a thermal break engineered into the ThermalDry tile that allows the floor you walk on to be 8-10 degrees warmer than the concrete below.

This is exactly what the homeowner had wanted and was very impressed with the transformation. Just look at the difference! 

Hardin, KY homeowner, Jim and his wife were struggling to control mold and odor coming from their basement.  The basement seemed constantly wet and they never felt it ever got completely dry.  "Damon from Healthy Spaces came out for free and spent over 2 hours discussing issues and solutions with us", says Jim.

Damon and Jim decided the best solution for the home was to install a full-perimeter French drain in the basement.  Healthy Spaces has installed thousands of custom drainage systems just like this one in basements and crawlspaces across the area.  The systems are comprised of a rugged plastic drainage channel network called WaterGuard.  The Waterguard connects to a sump pump system that expels the water far from the basement to keep it dry.   

Brian in Marion, KY had just purchased this home for his daughter and knew the basement needed waterproofed. His realtor had worked with Healthy Spaces before and recommended he give us a call. Our System Design Specialist, Auston, worked with Brian to design a plan that would keep his daughter's basement dry for good. Our team installed a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system, which is a piping system engineered specifically to solve water problems without the worry of clogging soils from under the floor. It intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and drains it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe sump pump system keeps the basement dry with triple the protection. It comes equipped with 3 pumps and a battery backup in case the power goes out. Now Brian will have peace of mind that his daughter's basement is staying dry permanently. 

In Marion, KY, Healthy Spaces received a call from a homeowner concerned about their basement's state. Whenever it rained outside, water would leak into the basement. Recently, the basement drain was not working which caused the AC water to pool. The homeowner was interested in waterproofing their basement to fix the leaky culprit. 

Once you spot the problem, it's time to take action! The WaterGuard system is placed by the basement team to create a reliable drainage system.  What makes the WaterGuard system so great is the openings at the top. The openings at the top of the drain will drain water from the walls. Next, the SuperSump pump is installed. The SuperSump has a cast iron pump that is quiet, cools well, and lasts longer compared to plastic pumps. Homeowners are relieved to see such an amazing end result!
