Before & After Photos

The WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system from Basement Systems is an innovative interior basement drainage system designed to effectively solve your basement water problems. Unlike conventional French drains that are installed outside the foundation or alongside the footing, WaterGuard drainage piping is installed inside the basement and won't clog with silt or plant roots. WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to your sump pump.

Homeowners prefer WaterGuard's discreet design. The drainage channel is hidden beneath a layer of concrete. Only the top edge of the wall flange is visible, so you'll hardly know it's there. 

As a baseboard drainage system, DryTrak® installs above the floor and along the inside perimeter of the basement.

If you have a monolithic foundation, meaning that your floor and footing were poured as one piece, this is the only drainage system that's appropriate. DryTrak® is also perfect for other applications when jackhammering the floor is not an option-- in basements with radiant heat, for example.

The home owner also had concerns with their block foundation bowing inward. As forces of nature, such as moisture and frost, interact with the soil around your home, the soil expands. That expansion results in constant inward force on your foundation wall until it can no longer support the pressure, causing cracking, bowing, and tipping. This is when we recommend the use of CarbonArmor, which will immediately stabilize your foundation walls and permanently protect against any further inward movement.

Mold in your basement can develop in a variety of ways. High humidity and water leaking in create the perfect breeding ground for mold, and ultimately, this hazardous allergen can create aesthetic and respiratory ailments alike. Removing mold from your home is crucial for your family's health.

Basement Systems has developed an innovate solution to swiftly treat the mold that may have grown in your basement or crawl space when we come to waterproof the space. Our local specialists are dedicated to keeping your basement clean and making it more enjoyable to use, and by including Mold-X2 mold treatment with our waterproofing and humidity control solutions, we can do just that.

We waterproofed this basement and dried it with a dehumidifier and French drain. This gave the family more storage and living space in their home.
