Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The customer was experiencing water seepage through their home's basement walls. To rectify this, we installed our state-of-the-art triple safe sump pump system, which included an exterior discharge line. To further safeguard the home, we incorporated our WaterGuard system and CleanSpace. The combination of these systems provided an unparalleled barrier against water vapor.

The customer, living in Suitland, MD, expressed significant concern about the vast amount of water seeping into their home's basement. In response to this issue, we sent our technical advisor to inspect the property thoroughly.

After a meticulous examination of the space, we determined that the optimal solution would entail several steps:

Firstly, we would need to install a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system. This system is designed to effectively capture and divert water at the perimeter of your basement, draining it away unseen.

Secondly, for easy access to the system for maintenance or inspection, a WaterGuard Port would also need to be installed.

Thirdly, based on the given drawing, an XL TrenchDrain, along with a lateral feed line to the TrenchDrain, would be incorporated into the setup. These components play a crucial role in managing water flow efficiently.

To facilitate the installation of the WaterGuard and/or CleanSpace, some sections of the drywall would need to be removed. Please note that our team does not handle drywall replacement.

To prevent future flooding from clogged or frozen discharge lines, we recommended installing an IceGuard system.

For efficient water removal, we suggested installing an exterior discharge line, as illustrated in the drawing.

To keep water from the sump or gutters away from the structure and reduce potential water damage, a LawnScape Outlet was proposed.

We also advised using a TripleSafe pump system, which includes a twin liner, a primary cast iron AC pump, a back-up cast iron AC pump, and an UltraSump battery back-up pumping system. This system also features a charging/control box with an alarm and a sealed, maintenance-free battery. Also included are three CleanPump stands, an airtight lid with an airtight floor drain, and a WaterWatch alarm system.

To provide additional protection against moisture, we recommended installing a CleanSpace wall of a certain height.

Lastly, to maintain a dry, clean, and healthier environment in the basement, we suggested installing a SaniDry Sedona system, a high-performance dehumidification and air purification system.

This comprehensive approach is designed to holistically address the water intrusion problem, ensuring a dry and safe basement for the homeowner.

Before tackling this Waldorf, MD home's needs, the homeowner faced the frustration of water leaking into their walk-down basement from the drain, an issue visible in the 'before' photo. Recognizing the need for an immediate and lasting fix, NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair stepped in to transform this space.

A homeowner in District Heights, MD, was grappling with the persistent challenges of a wet basement. The problems were hard to miss—peeling paint, damp walls, and an uncomfortable, humid environment that made the space unusable. Beyond the visible damage, there was also growing concern about potential long-term risks like mold growth and structural deterioration. Determined to restore their basement and protect their home, the homeowner reached out, looking for an effective and permanent solution.

After a thorough inspection, we identified the key issues and proposed a comprehensive basement waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s needs. The first step was addressing moisture seeping into the space. To tackle this, we recommended the CleanSpace vapor barrier system, designed to seal out moisture and create a clean, bright surface on the basement walls. Next, to manage and redirect water effectively, we introduced the WaterGuard interior drainage system, which captures water at the entry point along the perimeter and channels it to the sump pump. The backbone of the system was the SuperSump pump, a high-performance unit capable of efficiently removing water during heavy rainfall, ensuring the basement stayed dry at all times. To safeguard against clogs caused by freezing during colder months, we added the reliable IceGuard discharge line protection system, providing an extra layer of security.

This combination of solutions addressed both the current moisture issues and the risk of future water damage, transforming the problematic space in the process. The results were remarkable. The dark, damp basement was transformed into a dry, clean, and functional area. The CleanSpace liner not only acted as a moisture barrier but also gave the basement a refreshed, polished look. Together, the WaterGuard, SuperSump, and IceGuard systems worked seamlessly to keep water out and maintain a comfortable environment, even during Maryland’s unpredictable weather.

The homeowner was overjoyed with the transformation, knowing their basement was now protected against future water challenges and that the upgraded space had added considerable value to their home.
