Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement in Batesburg, 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.

Our crew installed a WaterGuard and a BrightWall paneling system on the walls.

Owners of this Chapin, South Carolina home contacted us because of the high moisture issue they would experience in just one room of the house. This would be particularly problematic for the owners because that room was one with carpeting.

The solution here would we to install WaterGuard. The reason for that would be to collect the water that would often come through the walls. The drainage system actually catches the water and delivers it into the sump pumps. This whole process, of course, happens off camera. However, if you look closely at the “after” photo, you can see where we’ve installed the WaterGuard and poured cement over it.

It’s really the best solution for a high traffic area.

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times: CleanSpace saves a crawlspace. Let’s take these photos here into account. There’s obvious debris and dirt in the first picture. The debris can be easily removed, but that dirt won’t be going anywhere for a long time. In addition to adding to the moisture problem, the dirt floor is unsightly and any standing water in the crawlspace will only heighten the humidity issue. Even if there are no floods or freak storms to dampen your crawlspace, water will make its way in through the use of the air and the ground. Yes, even the ground.  The best way we handle that issue is to put down some of our patented CleanSpace.

CleanSpace, pictured here in the “After” photo, is a 20 mils thick liner reinforced with polyester cords. It’s extremely durable and nearly impossible to rip or tear accidentally. Not only that, but it takes away that uninhabitable look most dirt crawlspaces have. It’s easy to clean and keeps clean relatively easy. This Lexington, SC homeowner learned that pretty quickly and are now a bit more inclined to make the journey down there. When we take a look at the difference between the two photos, we can, without a doubt, understand why.

This basement, before we came out, was having major moisture issues. It had a sump pump, but the water wasn’t always making it there. This is how our Design Specialist, Alex Rogers, new that WaterGuard was the way to go.

This piping system would capture the water that comes through the walls and deliver it directly to the sump pump. As you can see in the “after” photo, the system is installed close to the wall. A small incision is made, the system is placed, and it is covered with cement to dry. What’s left exposed is the small port our technicians use to clean it out.
