Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This customer had cracked and bowing walls. To fix the issue, we installed PowerBraces using a 10 ft brace and a PowerBrace Concrete Angle Bracket (for attaching PowerBraces to overhead concrete decks, porches, etc.) in place of the Telescoping Bridge Bracket to stabilize the basement wall permanently. 

We often see open crawl space vents when doing our inspections. And we always reccomend they be sealed for good! This can either be done inside or outside and takes very little time.

Here is why you should NOT have open vents in your crawl space:

During the winter months, leaving the vents open reduces the energy efficiency of your home by allowing cold air to leak in from the outside. Also, if temperatures routinely drop below freezing, pipes in the crawl space are more likely to freeze if the vents are open.

During the summer, warm and moist air can enter your crawl space from the outside, leading to condensation and water pooling. Since insulation, floor joists and ducts are porous and readily wick water vapor from the air, your crawl space can quickly trap large amounts of moisture.

This makes your crawl space an attractive nesting place for vermin, including termites and other wood-destroying insects. 

Just think, you're letting all of the spiders and insects crawl right into your home and live under your floorboards! 


If you have open vents, make sure to seal them before more moisture or insects makw their way into your home!
