Before & After Photos

This homeowner needed a new waterproofing system along their back wall after their footer drains clogged and their sump pump became outdated. We installed our interior WaterGuard subfloor drains and BriteWall panels to manage water along the wall, then replaced the old sump pump. The previous system had an open croc pit that let moisture spread throughout the basement, creating musty odors, and it operated unpredictably and loudly. We upgraded to our TripleSafe sump pump, which is quiet, has an airtight lid, and a reliable switch to conserve energy. The system includes three pumps, including a battery backup, for maximum reliability. After the installation, the homeowner was relieved knowing their basement is protected and that they can easily upgrade to a full system in the future if needed.

We waterproofed this basement in Middletown, OH, and we wanted to highlight our drywall replacement panels as part of the system. When we dug around the perimeter of the basement to install our WaterGuard subfloor drains, we needed to also cut out the lower parts of the drywall to make room for the drains. This drywall was already ruined by moisture, so the homeowners didn't bear any mind, especially since we offered the perfect replacement solution. After installing our waterproofing system, we then installed our EverLast panels to replace the moisture soaked drywall we cut out. These panels are made of vinyl, (inorganic in composition) so they won't ever be ruined by water. They come in different colors and have a nice trim to them. They can also be customized for electrical outlets, as seen here. The homeowner was appreciative that they fit perfectly with our waterproofing system and that they didn't have to deal with yet another contractor for their basement woes.

We replaced this basement window in Monroe, OH, with an egress window. Now that the egress window is installed, the homeowners can finally begin to build a bedroom for their teenager in the basement. Egress windows allow for emergency exits from a basement, and are required by code to count as a bedroom on listings. Our beautiful RockWell window well has a natural feel and allows tons of natural light into the basement. They also have built-in steps and a cover to keep debris out. 

This homeowner in Franklin, Ohio, was dealing with a bowing foundation wall and water intrusion in the basement — a combination that only gets worse over time if left untreated.

To stabilize the foundation, we installed PowerBraces, a steel I-beam system designed to straighten walls over time without any invasive exterior digging. Along the perimeter, we laid in our WaterGuard® drainage system, which captures groundwater before it reaches the basement floor and channels it to a sump pump.

We paired the system with our TripleSafe® sump pump (not pictured), which includes three layers of protection — a primary pump, a secondary pump for high-volume situations, and a battery backup to keep things running during power outages. Finally, we finished the walls with BriteWall® paneling, a clean, moisture-resistant covering that not only brightens the space but also directs any wall seepage into the WaterGuard system below.
