Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water had begun to seep into April's basement in Evansville, IN. After hearing from a friend who used Healthy Spaces, she decided to give us a call! After one of our System Design Specialists completed a thorough inspection, the best option was for our Lead Foreman to install a TripleSafe sump pump system, WaterGuard, a Sedona Dehumidifier, and line the walls with CleanSpace. As seen in the before picture, water coming in where the wall meets the floor. By installing WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump will keep her basement dry all the time!

Here is a sump pump that was installed and this shows what it looks like before concrete is laid and after. This process takes a lot of percise digging and laying of concrete and other materials in order to ensure the drainage of water in a clean, safe, and efficient way.

Janice B. knew that her basement needed upgrades. She had been living in this home for numerous years and it needed a refresher. She also had issues with water intruding in her basement and knew that issue needed to be fixed before she spent the money on updating her space. Without further ado, gave Healthy Spaces a call to get her project started!

Not only did Janice B. from Evansville, IN get a new WaterGuard basement waterproofing system installed, she also decided to upgrade her basement walls with our EverLast wall panels. The WaterGuard system was installed around the perimeter of her basement catching any water that intrudes and taking it directly to the sump pump. From here, the water will be taken out through discharge lines. The EverLast wall panels are hard, durable, and won't dent like drywall. Along with that, they will never get moldy, rot, or get ruined by a flood or leak- even if the water is a foot deep for a week! They really brighten up the space with their beige and white color, too.

Janice is thrilled with her decision to get her basement waterproofed and the first step of her Total Basement Finishing journey! 

This 100-year-old home that our client was in the process of purchasing in Evansville, IN, had a basement that was showing clear signs of water damage. Evidence of leaking water and excessive moisture in the basement posed a threat to the integrity of the home’s foundation, not to mention creating an uncomfortable, damp living space. Without proper waterproofing, the situation was only going to get worse over time, causing potential structural damage and a higher risk of mold growth.

To address these concerns, we installed our SuperSump Pump System and CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier.

1. SuperSump Pump System
To effectively manage water intrusion, we installed our SuperSump® Pump System. This powerful sump pump features a Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron pump, capable of moving an impressive 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head. The SuperSump® is designed to keep the basement dry by efficiently removing water and redirecting it away from the foundation, preventing further damage.

2. CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier

To address the moisture issue, we installed the CleanSpace® Wall Vapor Barrier. This 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier is the perfect solution for unfinished basement walls. Not only does it direct any water seepage down into the drainage system, but it also prevents future moisture buildup and mold growth. The bright white appearance of CleanSpace® Wall enhances the lighting in the basement, while its durability ensures it will never peel, chip, or flake like traditional paints or sealants.

The basement is now dry, safe, and protected from future water intrusion. The bright, clean walls give the basement a fresh look and provide the perfect foundation if the homeowners choose to finish the space down the line. Best of all, the homeowner now has peace of mind knowing that their basement and foundation are shielded from the elements.

One of the most amazing things about the Waterguard perimeter drainage system is that it is only one component of a customizable waterproofing system and it is able to be installed in virtually every basement in Evansville!

Here, you can see how the Waterguard system has been laid in the prepared trench and it is curved around an existing brick portion in the basement. That brick is actually the fireplace and water was coming in to the trench around the fireplace even during installation! The Healthy Spaces installation crew has insured that the entire perimeter of the basement is now protected against future water intrusion and they were able to direct existing water into the system during installation to keep the basement dry while they worked!
