Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner was experiencing water seeping in from their front lawn and into their basement. The culprit? The garage door. They already had an old drain installed in front of the garage door, but it just wasn’t doing its job properly on its own. A drain like this being in front of the garage door is not an ideal scenario either, as it can freeze over during the colder months. That’s when The Basement Transformer stepped in to fix this problem. We made sure to install our TrenchDrain Grated Drainage Pipe System on the inside of the garage door that leads to the basement, drastically decreasing the possibility of it freezing in the wintertime. The grated opening fits nice & snug on top of the pipe and collects any water that passes over it. That water then gets directed straight into your sump pump system. 

This system is also designed to pair with our TrenchLock Drain Inserts, which keep harmful radon gases found in the ground out of your home. We made sure to install these as well, so that water would still be drained properly without having to worry about the toxic air making its way into the basement. 

After installing these products, the homeowner knew their front lawn could no longer contribute to making the basement floor wet! 

The walls in this homeowner’s basement were deteriorating in appearance and falling apart because of the water that was seeping through the concrete blocks. Efflorescence, which is white and foamy in appearance, was growing all over the walls, showing visible signs of water damage. The key to keeping the moisture out of this basement was using our Foamax walls. Our team installed them for this homeowner, helping to waterproof the walls and improve their overall appearance. The Foamax walls are made from polyisocyanurate foam, which insulates the basement, making it warmer and drier! They are designed with a white foil finish that brings more light into a dark basement, as well as a vapor barrier which controls the humidity levels in the basement. The before and after photos below prove just how much this product truly transformed this basement into something new! 

Before heavy rain turned their space into a concern, this Arden homeowner faced unwanted water intrusions that dampened their haven (notice in the before photo). We transformed their basement into the safe and dry space they deserved. Look at the after photo to see how we installed our WaterGuard system and TripleSafe Sump Pump, complete with IceGuard for frost-free peace of mind. Now, their basement stands ready to face even the toughest rains, just as we promised—a reliable remedy crafted for longevity and peace. Welcome to hassle-free, dry basements with us.

There was a homeowner located in Hurley, NY that needed a top performing sump pump system. That’s when The Basement Transformer team came to help. Our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which offers three lines of defense against flooding. This system includes two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower sump pumps and a battery back-up sump pump that assures homeowners everywhere that their TripleSafe Sump Pump will always work under any circumstance. All three of these pumps are designed to discharge thousands of gallons of water from your basement.

The lid and the floor drain are also airtight, keeping out unpleasant odors and ensuring that your sump pump will not become clogged with debris from the basement. It even features a WaterWatch Alarm system that will alert you in case water has risen past the point where the pumps should have activated.

After the concrete floor has been jackhammered to make room for our TripleSafe, the floor is restored, and it looks like our crew was never there.

Once this installation was complete this homeowner had no more mess and no more stress!
