Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Seepage Issues Tackled in a Lockport, NY Basement

Switching out seasonal decor led to a wet discovery in Patrick's crawlspace! But that wasn’t the only basement water issue he had in his home, so he called up the experts at Frank’s Basement Systems for help. Our team was able to fix the leaky crack in the crawlspace and install a waterproofing solution in his basement, finally tackling the ongoing moisture issues he has been dealing with. Check out the work our team did to turn the once-wet, damp space into one that handles water seepage with no problem!

Leaky Crawlspace

When switching out his seasonal decor, Patrick discovered water all throughout his crawlspace. This was not ideal for a crawlspace used as a storage area!

Cardboard To Keep Moisture Out

To keep moisture out of Patrick's basement, he had shoved a cardboard box under the door. So if moisture seeped in, the boxes would absorb it, making cleanup after heavy rains easier.

Crack Fixed In Crawlspace

This leaky crack won't be an issue anymore after it was plugged and patched using an Xypex system. Then a panel of our BrightWall was added on top, and the WaterGuard drainage system was added below, so any potential moisture is directed out of the crawlspace, leaving it dry!

Drainage Implemented in Basement

By adding the WaterGuard drainage system, any water seeping is now effectively collected and directed down to the sump pump system!

Sealed in System

The drainage system is nearly discreet once sealed in with concrete! With a clean, finished appearance, Patrick won't have to worry about an unsightly drain around his basement.

Easy Clean Out Ports

Along the perimeter drainage system, several access ports are added. These ports provide a spot to allow for inspection, flood testing, and flushing out Patrick's system during his annual maintenance!

TrenchDrain For Surface Moisture

To capture that surface water seepage from under the basement door, we added the TrenchDrain! It's a drainage channel with a removable, flush-fitting grated cover that easily integrates with the WaterGuard drainage system.
