Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Gainesville, VA had a broken basement window. Until recently, the standards for basement windows haven’t been very high. Builders paid attention to windows in the main part of the house, but typically chose cheap steel or wood-framed windows for the basement. As a result, standard basement windows have some significant problems. 

The 3 Pros team quickly replaced this window with an EverLast Window Insert. The EverLast Window Insert features double-pane, insulated glass, so you won't need to worry about major heat loss. Our installation crew will use the right techniques to eliminate air leaks through gaps around the window. 

A homeowner in Louisa, VA needed her basement to stay dry ALL of the time. The 3 Pros Basement Systems team installed our most reliable sump pump system in her basement, our TripleSafe Sump Pump with our UltraSump Battery Backup. 

The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind.

For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over.

In case of a power outage, our UltraSump battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!

We removed the existing window well for this Sterling VA home because it was collecting water rather than keeping it away from the windows.  The leaking windows lead the water into the basement of the home.  We replaced it with our Sun House window well and cover.  

This Sterling VA basement was too cold and the homeowners wanted to change that.  They called us and had one of our Basement Performance experts (Carl) come out to see how we could help.  Carl identified a need to air seal and insulate the top of the basement walls.  This would not only insulate the space better than it had been, but it would also eliminate the ability for cold outside air to come inside. Outside air could bring not only cold temperatures, but dust and allergens inside of the home.  Sealing up the space with spray foam was the solution. 

We removed the old insulation, dirty plastic covering the dirt floors and moisture from the air.  This crawl space is now clean and dry with no musty smells or excessive moisture in the air.
