Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before and After of a Waterguard Installation in Chilliwack BC.

This project focused on rebuilding and improving the drainage of an existing window well. The team started by removing and disposing of the old materials, then cleared out excess soil and debris to create six inches of proper clearance beneath the window. A clean layer of stone was added to promote better water drainage and stability.

A new window well was constructed using treated lumber for long-lasting protection. To further prevent moisture buildup, a drainage mat was installed along the exterior and finished neatly with a mould strip at the top edge. The area was then backfilled with soil and completed with a custom-made aluminum grill, providing a durable, clean, and secure finish.

For this project, we removed the old window well materials and cleaned up the area. To improve drainage and create enough space under the window, we cleared away extra soil and added clean stone. Then, we built a brand-new window well using pressure-treated wood and added a special drainage mat to help water flow away properly. The top edge of the mat was sealed with a mold strip for a clean finish, and we reused the existing soil to backfill the area.

We completed a window well improvement project to help with drainage and overall appearance. First, we removed the old window well materials and cleared away any excess soil and debris to create proper space below the window. We then added clean stone at the bottom to help water drain away properly.

Next, we built a new window well using treated wood and installed a drainage mat along the outside to help guide water away from the foundation. The top of the mat was neatly finished with a trim piece to keep everything secure and tidy. Once everything was in place, we used the original soil to backfill the area, leaving it clean and functional.
