Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners Roger and Zelda H. from Calhoun, Kentucky were experiencing water flooding into their basement with rains. As time went on, the problem got worse. They constantly had fans running in hopes of keeping the water under control. With the problem worsening, they decided to call for help.

System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came to the rescue! He inspected the basement and presented them with a same-day quote before he left. The homeowners agree to have the work done and they got their project scheduled. They were starting with a WaterGuard system that wraps around the perimeter of the basement and takes water directly to the sump pump. They also added CleanSpace on the walls to protect mold growth and well as water. This gives it a nice clean finish without ever having to worry about wet drywall again.

The homeowners are thrilled with how this project turned out and aren't dreading the next rainfall.

When there is water outside of a basement window, it will leak into the basement. This was exactly the case our homeowner in Calhoun, KY was experiencing! Healthy Spaces installed two EverLast Basement Windows, which are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed replacement windows. Designed with double-paned, low E glass, they are much more energy-efficient than the single-paned, steel-framed windows that are the industry standard. If you have rotting, outdated steel, and wood-framed basement windows, give Healthy Spaces a call today for your free inspection!

A wet basement is never fun. Not only does it create a lot of work for you to clean up, but it really limits what you can do with your below grade, basement space! It's impossible to finish the space if it floods, especially if you've finished it before and had massive damage. You don't want to store anything down there that you really care about because it might get wet. Suddenly, you lose out on anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of your overall square footage because your basement is wet.

This homeowner decided that he would like to be able to use his basement as a storage area without concerns about flooding. No more wet basement for him! He opted to have Healthy Spaces come in and install an interior perimeter drain system, sometimes referred to as a french drain system) to prevent the basement from ever flooding again. In addition, he opted to have CleanSpace Wall System installed over all his basement walls to direct water into the Healthy Spaces Waterguard perimeter drainage system. The CleanSpace Wall system will keep water and water vapor from leaking in the walls and into the basement. He will drastically reduce his relative humidity, lowering his risk for mold growth, musty smells, and water damage. The Waterguard Perimeter drainage system will direct any water intrusion into a SuperSump sump pump to be removed from the basement. Phew! What a lifesaver!

Water in the basement is never a good thing because it leads to increased moisture, mold, and an unhappy homeowner. This Island, KY homeowner was feeling all of these things. She finally decided to call Healthy Spaces for a free inspection.

Upon receiving Mary's call for help, Design Specialist, Mike McAtee was scheduled to do a thorough inspection of her basement. When he arrived, they greeted each other with a smile and the work began. He recommended that a new drainage system be installed to prevent any more leaking. This drainage system would be under the concrete, so it wouldn't be noticeable. It runs straight to the new TripleSafe sump pump that was also installed. 

The purpose of basement windows is to add appeal to your space by bringing in natural sunlight. When your windows are rusted, covered in debris, or doing little more than affording a view of an old, rusty window well, then they're not doing their job. So that's why we installed 4 of our EverLast Basement Windows. Our EverLast Windows are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed replacement windows. Having a covered window well keeps cold winter winds from blowing against the panes, while the Low-E double thermopane glass of EverLast Windows saves you on your energy bills. It's a small upgrade that really made a big difference in this homeowner home!
