Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Trench Drain-12ft // Lateral Feed Line to Trench Drain-10ft Before and After

See how a new grated trench drain solved chronic puddling at a basement stairwell entry in Sandy, UT (Salt Lake County). The old landing trapped water against the door threshold, creating leak risk, ice hazards, and foundation moisture issues. Our crew removed deteriorated concrete, re-sloped the landing toward the drain, set a heavy-duty channel with grate, and tied it into the drainage line to move stormwater away from the home. The finished concrete surface sheds rain and snowmelt, protecting the basement and improving safety on the steps. If your basement entry floods or ices over, a properly sized stairwell trench drain plus regrade is a fast, effective waterproofing upgrade for Utah homes.

Cleanspace and Waterguard installed to prevent future water issues.

Our customer was having water come into the basement through the cold joints. CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and dry well were installed.

This Salt Lake City basement encapsulation project transformed a damp, exposed foundation space into a clean, protected environment using the CleanSpace vapor barrier system.

Before installation, the basement area showed visible moisture staining along the concrete foundation walls and exposed gravel flooring — common indicators of water intrusion and humidity buildup in Utah homes. Left untreated, these conditions can contribute to mold growth, musty odors, structural wood damage, and declining indoor air quality.

Our team at Davenport Foundation Repair installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system to fully seal the basement area. The durable vapor barrier was professionally secured along the walls and floor, creating a continuous moisture barrier that helps prevent groundwater vapor intrusion and humidity issues.

Basement encapsulation in Salt Lake City is especially important due to seasonal snowmelt and fluctuating moisture conditions along the Wasatch Front. CleanSpace helps protect foundations, improve energy efficiency, and create a healthier home environment.
