Before & After Photos

This basement doesn't even look the same after we waterproofed it and installed our brightwall basement wall system: what a difference it made! 

With all the rain this basement had been leaking water and damaging the homeowners belongings. He gave us a call and was interested in waterproofing his basement and what options there were. Our inspector recommended our WaterGuard system that goes along the interior wall and drains into a sump pump. We installed our Super Sump that has high-volume pumping and sits flush with the ground. we also did a CleanSpace wall in the basement which is where we installed our CleanSpace 20 mil thick vapor barrier of the basement walls. Leaving it looking clean and sealed so that the homeowner can use their basement again. 

When John's Waterproofing does an inspection for a basement waterproofing system, we want to ensure we check every aspect of the basement for possible water entry. While installing a drainage system and wall systems are important, we want to address all of the basement and that starts with checking the basement windows. These below grade windows are prime spots for water intrusion issues because the soil around the home is loose and water can easily pass through to the foundation and windows. If there's no form of protection against that loose soil, water will build up and need somewhere to go. This tends to be through the cracks and crevices around the windows. To make sure that water can't gain access into the basement, we install Window Wells and drainage. A Window Well is the barrier that goes outside around the below grade windows. It is lined with gravel and surrounds the entirety of the window to ensure water won't end up pushing against the window frame. The U-shape of the Window Well will also allow for light to reach the basement and add comfortability. We also install a drain system which collects the rainwater that goes into the window well, this will guide water collected here to can safely pass through the foundation and be guided to the waterproofing system we installed inside the basement. After the below-grade windows have been addressed, this basement can rest assured their basement is waterproofed on all fronts. 

This customer called complaining that they had water leaking thru the foundation and wall of their finished basement. We installed our patented WaterGuard system and TripleSafe sump pump. 

This homeowner had a beautiful finished basement but this last year the wall was softening and has a strange dark area. When our team came out to inspect they discovered that this was due to a large concentration of wet soil behind the basement wall on the exterior. Over time water began to work its way through the concrete wall and now the family risked damage to the finished walls of their home. Our team came in and placed not only a drain system to collect this water but also installed our patented Bright Wall panels to ensure the walls of the basement remained strong for the life of the house.
