Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Making Basement Walls Waterproof with BrightWall Panels in Cornwall on Hudson, NY
The walls in this basement located in Cornwall on Hudson, NY were an absolute disaster. Water was seeping through them and causing the paint to chip off of the cinderblocks. It was creating an extremely humid atmosphere and a musty smell inside the basement. Efflorescence could be seen all over these walls as well, which is a chalky white substance left behind on concrete when water evaporates. Our solution to this problem? Waterproofing the walls using our BrightWall Basement Wall System. Our BrightWall panels are 100% waterproof and made of rigid plastic paneling that is durable and does not support mold growth or rotting. These amazing panels are also designed to prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through your walls. These panels also totally improved the appearance of the basement walls by making them look crisp, bright, and clean. The water damage was no longer visible – completely out of sight and mind. They’re also fastened to the walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners, ensuring they will never fall off. Unlike the paint that is on the cinder blocks underneath, these panels will never flake or chip either. Once we had installed these panels, the homeowner knew water would no longer be able to seep through their walls.
