Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Hydrostatic pressure can cause groundwater to push up through the floor in a basement.  We sealed the cracks in this New Buffalo, Michigan basement, to push the water to the perimeter foundation walls.  

We removed about a 12 inch section of the concrete floor, the blocks then have weep holes drilled in every hollow core, filter cloth was laid over the footing and dirt, and the WaterGuard installed.

The WaterGuard drains into the SuperSump that was installed in the south east corner of the basement. The discharge for the sump pump goes out the south east corner into the ice guard and ties into the existing four-inch line that is buried outside.

During inspection our estimator could easily see that the cinderblocks were holding onto water and allowing that water to seep through over time.  We installed a combination of DryTrak and WaterGuard to drain and channel that water into a UltraSump pump.  

Moisture and humidity began to damage the beams and joists in this crawlspace.  We did CleanSpace Encapsulation to prevent vapors from damaging the crawlspace.  

Hydrostatic pressure can force groundwater up through a basement floor causing flooding.  We installed a Lateral Drain in this Union Pier, Michigan floor to guide that water to their sump pump.
