Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Fairfax VA home had a sump pump that has been doing its job.  Because of that, it was covered in corrosion, dirt, and sediment that came along with the dirty water it had been pumping out of the home for the last year.  Our service tech Brent stopped in for an annual service check and got the pump cleaned and ready to keep working in the future. 

This basement in Fairfax VA had unwanted water collecting in it.  The home owners had installed a stand alone dehumidifier and placed it next to their existing sump pump to drain it.  unfortunately, this is a common mistake made by many homeowners trying to self address basement water problems.  Placing a dehumidifier next to a sump pump can lead to the same water being pulled back into the dehumidifier once it is drained in the sump pump well.  This can overwork both devices and keeps the moisture in the area.  Our production team installed a new sump pump with a cover and had it properly located to receive all of the water collected by our Water Guard basement waterproofing system.  

This wet basement had mildew and poor air quality due to unwanted water.  A Water Guard system helped to make it all better.  Here you see the installation in progress and after it was completed.  

This set of photos is from a partially sub-terranean window in Vienna, Virginia that has been allowing water into the home for a long time. You can see that is was once a mess and the home owner tried an exterior quick fix, but the second photo shows the window after being waterproofed. Not only was the window waterproofed but so was the rest of the basement which you can find a full series of photos of in our gallery. 

Many homes have sumps pumps, but too often they are given the proper maintenance and regular service needed to keep them operating the way they need to in order to properly and safely function when unwanted water hits a basement.  We helped remove the existing sump pump in this clients home and replaced it with a new unit along with proper drainage lines to discharge the water far away from the home, out into the yard.
