Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The inorganic materials that make up ZenWall — fiberglass, foil and vinyl, are all inorganic and will not rot or support mold growth, unlike the concrete walls in the before picture. It can also make up to a 10 degree difference in the surface temperature of the wall, adding comfort and saving energy. Aside from all of these benefits, ZenWall panels can be installed in any basement to make your walls look great! They dramatically brighten the room.

ZenWall is a 1/4" thick encapsulated fiberglass core with a reflective foil vapor barrier on the back side and a decorative vinyl finish on the front side. We use foil as a vapor barrier because it gives the added benefit of a radiant barrier, and therefore some resistance of heat flow through the panel one way or the other. While the colors and pattern and texture of the ZenWall vinyl finish hide dirt and marks, the panels are also washable, so keeping them clean is not a problem.

People often forget to shut off the water valves when they're not doing laundry. This means that their washer hoses remain constantly pressurized at about 60 pounds per square inch. A regular cunsumer grade hose is not strong enough to handle this, and upon failure, up to 650 gallons per hour can shoot out of a standard size hose. That's more than 2.5 tons of water per hour!

FloodChek hoses are the finest, safest washing maching hoses in the world. FloodChek hoses are guaranteed for twenty years, or the life of your washing machine against failure due to defective design, materials and workmanship.

Old basement windows like the one in this home, often have wood or metal frames that rot or rust respectively. They are leaky and the single panel of glass makes them highly energy inefficient. We replaced it with our EverLast Basement Window. It has a vinyl frame and is made with double-paned, low-E glass. It will keep out hot air in the summer and cold air in the winter, and the frames will never rot, rust, decay, or need paint.

The old basement windows of this Connecticut home were doing nothing for the visual appeal of the area. Its screen and rusting frames blocked light from coming in, and the single-paneled glass was very inefficient. We replaced it with our EverLast Basement Window, designed with double-paneled, low-E glass making it highly energy efficient. The vinyl frame will never rot or rust, and the home now has a much more visually appealing basement.
