Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The church needed some help with their basement kitchen area. They were having water intrusion in the basement of one of the church's buildings and wanted it taken care of so they didn't have to worry about any problems stemming from the water such as mold or mildew. We were able to send out a Systems Design Specialist out to help find the perfect solution for them, and he came up with a great solution that was affordable and helpful for the customer.

The "before" photo shows what the area looked like before/during installation. The only work that had really been done in this area was to remove part of the drywall in order to install one of our products. There are areas of the wall where you can actually see where water has come through, mainly by towards the end of the wall where the darker areas are.

The "after" picture shows the installation of almost all of the products that we put in this basement (minus the sump pump). The white liner that is on the wall is actually our CleanSpace Wall, which helps to push the water into the WaterGuard drain. The WaterGuard drain is under the drying (but still wet) concrete against the wall. The WaterGuard helps to drain any water that collects in it, to the SuperSump pump.

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!

When it comes to your crawlspace, protecting it from moister is very important. In this home the crawlspace was taking on large amounts of moister. Not only was moister the problem, but the crawlspace was littered with debris, trash, and an old liner.  To solve this problem, our All-Dry of the Carolinas team encapsulated the entire crawlspace.

This basement in Mount Airy, GA was taking on water. Our All-Dry of the Carolinas team installed a WaterGuard. A water guard is a system that intercepts the water at the perimeter of the basement and drains it unseen and safely into the SumpPump where it is then flushed from the basement. WaterGuard is different because it is designed to not sit in the dirt as 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!

                When some envision their dream home, they might imagine it sitting on the side of a mountain. This is the case with this home in Sky Valley, Georgia. The downside of living in the mountains though is the issue of water running downhill and entering your basement or crawlspace.  This home had the problem of high moister and water puddling in their crawlspace. Along with the water problems, it was also a physical challenge to work around because the area was covered in rocks. In the far right corner of the crawlspace there was a bolder that caused an issue placing in a drainage system. The homeowner feared that even with our waterproofing technology that the bolder would cause water to drain in a direction away from the drain. Although these problems faced our All-Dry of the Carolinas’ team they were able to tackle the issue and create a water free area under the home.

                Our solution for this issue was a series of our waterproofing technology. To begin to tackle the issue our team had to first clean the space of debris and rocks. Once that was finished, our team had to figure out a solution to installing a drainage system that would work around the bolder that was unable to be moved. After careful consideration our team decided to place the drainage system at the base of the wall and bolder. We did exploratory digging to find the edge of the bolder to make sure that water draining off it would go into our drainage system. From there, drainage matting was added and then covered with CleanSpace to keep moister from coming from the soil of the crawlspace. A SmartSump was also added to the area to flush excess water from the crawlspace. Finally, a dehumidifier was added to the crawlspace to take care of the remaining issue of high moister levels in the air.
