Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The entrance of the crawlspace is just as important to maintain as the actual crawlspace. The door to your crawlspace is how everything gets in and out, humans and animals alike. In this Hiawassee, Georgia crawlspace there wasn’t even a door on their crawlspace entrance. But that wasn’t a problem for our All-Dry of the Carolinas team, once we were done with the inside of the crawlspace we added an EverLast door! This door will keep the elements out of the crawlspace!

This homeowner was quite put out with their basement. They were receiving random puddles and streams of water whenever there was a large down pouring. Nothing seemed to solve the problem. The water that managed to creep into the basement would leave behind patches of efflorescence, staining the floors.

In the “before” photo we have here, you can see the evidence of that water damage. To solve the water issue, our Design Specialist suggested WaterGuard to catch any water that may be coming in through the walls.

In the “after” photo, we’ve installed it. The dark stripe along the floor is where we’ve covered the piping system with cement. Once it dries, it will blend right in with the floor. The system itself is engineered not to sit in the dirt, so clogging from silt and sediment under the floor is not a problem. The special wall flange allows wall seepage to drain while keeping dirt/debris out.

With the install of this WaterGuard, this Duncan, South Carolina homeowner can say good-bye to water issues.

This home in Greenville, SC was experiencing major water issues in their basement. Water was seeping into this basement through the foundation, dripping down the walls and puddling around the perimeter of the basement leaving damage and the risk of molding. The homeowner had already attempted to fix the issue by installing a sump pump, although this method failed. So to fix their water issues they called All-Dry of the Carolinas to help them out!

Our All-Dry team tackled this issue head on using several different methods of our water proofing technology. After cleaning the crawlspace of debris, our team inserted the CleanSpace Liner. CleanSpace is a 20 mil tick liner that is laid across the basement floor and wrapped around walls and piers. This liner works as a barrier to keep moister that is produced from the ground of the basement. In this specific case, the CleanSpace was just placed on the walls; this was to hold in moister that came from the water that dripped down the walls when entering the basement.

This basement in Greenville, SC was having water issues. Water would seep down the walls from ground level and puddle on the floors. These home owners did the right thing by calling All-Dry of the Carolinas. Our All-Dry crew was able to tackle this issue with three of our most used products: WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and the SuperSump Pump.

 In the “before” picture you see the corner of the basement before our All-Dry team started installing the WaterGuard and SuperSump Pump. In the “after” picture you are able to see where the WaterGuard has been placed around the perimeter of the basement and the SuperSump Pump.

Water was getting into the basement in Greenville, SC by dripping down the walls and puddling in the floor. To solve this problem our All-Dry of the Carolinas team installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard was added around the perimeter of this basement, it intercepts the water and drains it unseen and safely into the SuperSump Pump where it is then flushed from the basement. WaterGuard is different because it is designed to not sit in dirt like most draining systems do. There is a special wall flange that creates space between the floor and wall allowing wall seepage to drain through the WaterGuard while keeping it away from the dirt. Since this type of drainage is separated from dirt, the chances of it clogging are nearly impossible! The WaterGuard directs the water to the SuperSump Pump where it is then flushed from the basement outside to the LawnScape outlet. All resulting in a dry basement!

In the “before” picture you see the basement floor before the WaterGuard is installed. WaterGuard is installed by digging a trench around the perimeter of the basement. Water is then flushed into the trench to test if water will flow smoothly downwards towards the SuperSump Pump. If the water puddles instead of draining, the trench will be deepened to allow the water to flow. Weep holes are drilled into the base of the wall so that water can flow from the base of the wall into the WaterGuard instead of building up and seeping down the walls. From there the WaterGuard is placed into the trench where it is covered with concrete that makes the system invisible. The “after” pictures shows the finished look once the system is installed.
