Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Most people think that painting the basement walls is a good idea. It is a good idea, if you want to paint them again...and again. Wouldn't you rather have a permanent solution that looks fantastic? The BrightWall system isn't like "finishing" the basement but it does provide a clean and bright look to an otherwise dark and scary place. It is easy to clean and won't chip off like paint. Even better than the look is the vapor barrier aspect. BrightWall acts as a great vapor barrier and will never mold or smell. Any moisture that seeps in through the basement walls is stopped on the back of the panels and stays out of the air. If you have a waterproofing system, such as WaterGuard, the panels can tuck right into it so the water has a place to drip.

This homeowner was worried about the moisture in her basement. DryZone was able to correct the problem and can help her keep it dry all the time! 

This home in Newark, DE had a real issue with the basement leaking. When DryZone's inspector Johnny Scarborough arrived, he quickly saw something the needed to be fixed. Most of the downspouts around the house emptied onto a driveway or sidewalk, but not the one on the back of the house. This downspout drained only a foot or so from the house. Basically it was creating a funnel to direct the rain to one spot of the home. The downspouts out front hit the concrete driveway and drained away. The force of a heavy rain coming from this area was almost the same as a fire hose directed right at the foundation. Is it any surprise that the basement leaked and flooded really bad in this area? By extending the downspout out and away from the home, the rain water won't cause such a problem. It is a great way to help out your basement drainage system.

This basement had clear signs of water damage. The fix for this homeowner was to install a Waterguard perimeter drainge, SuperSump pump and BrightWalls. Now this homeowner has a basement that is clean, dry, and healthy.
