Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner called because his basement was getting a lot of water after storms. He knew he needed a perimeter drainage system and new sump pump. He didn't realize that he had choices when it came to the pump. His main concern was that if the power went out his pump wouldn't work. He also knew that his current sump pump wasn't able to keep up with the amount of water he was getting. We showed him the TripleSafe system and he knew it was perfect. The TripleSafe is larger and can handle almost any amount of water you can imagine.

The home owner wanted their basement finished. Before DryZone could do anything, we had to place down new cement slabs. After that as you can see in the after photo, the wall is not the same. This is because the home owner wanted a new inorganic paneling which is resistant to mold then we had left the sides  "open" in order to put in a drain, which hooked up to their sump pump.

Finishing a basement is a big problem. But, if the basement is not properly sealed or waterproofed, a finished basement can be quickly ruined by a water leak. DryZone installed a french drain around the perimeter of the basement with CleanSpace wall coverings to guide water downwards. When the water goes to the trench drain, it flows to the sump pump and gets pumped out of the home. 

This SumpPump was no longer able to keep up with the water which was entering the basement so the homeowners called the experts here at DryZone to come out and replace it. The SumpPump we replaced it with is the TripleSafe which has multiple powerful pumps to move water out and away from your basement along with a reserve battery power. 

This homeowner was having trouble with water getting into the crawlspace from the entrance. Due to the size of the opening and location of the doorway, a Turtl wouldn't fit. We decided on adding a new Bilco style door. It works great and the homeowner was quite happy with the result.
