Badger Basement Systems Before & After Photos

An exterior staircase can be troublesome when it comes to water.  Luckily these Watertown homeowners found us and we have a solution for this type of problem.  Aside from getting water in from underneath the doorway, they also had water coming in from around the perimeter of their basement.  We were able to install WaterGuard around the perimeter walls and TrenchDrain in front of the doorway.  Now, the perimeter is protected and if water does come down the staircase, it will go into the TrenchDrain and into the WaterGuard system to be pumped outside. 

Brightwall and WaterControl System installed in one corner of a basement with continuous water leakage from the walls down.

Crack in the foundation near the window that was leaking water, we installed our FlexiSpan where you see the white, this has a lifetime warranty on the foundation. Where you see the blue, that is a good duct that helps drain the water from the window well outside to prevent water from building up and leaking through the window!

Steve previously had 4 by 4's placed up against his walls to prevent future bowing from taking place. He wanted something more stable and even the possibility of straightening the wall, we installed 14 new PowerBraces on all 4 walls of the basement and 4 Wall Anchors in places the PowerBraces would not fit. 

When dealing with your home's foundation, it can be difficult to know what your best options are.  At Badger Basement Systems, we have several options that our design specialists take into consideration while doing their onsite visit.    

One of the options that we have is the CarbonArmor System.  This system is designed to stabilize bowing and leaning walls.  The CarbonArmor strips are made of fiber-reinforced polymers that are 10 times stronger than steel.   They are installed tight against the wall and the installation is fast, giving you immediate stabilization.  The strips are even paintable or easy to conceal if you finish your basement. 

This type of installation can be done year round and usually in less than one day, so why not start protecting your walls today!
