In this before image from Chillicothe, IL, you can see the side of the home that lacked a gutter system, creating a major vulnerability. The lack of proper gutters was directing all roof water straight down, resulting in substantial water pooling right at the base of the foundation. This uncontrolled rainwater runoff was the root cause of the homeowner's recurring basement leaks and put the foundation at serious risk for long-term water damage.

Following the debris removal, this after photo shows the successful installation of RainDrop Gutter Guards on the Andalusia, IL home. The guards provide a clear, permanent path for water runoff, completely eliminating the clogs and overflow seen previously. By directing rainwater safely away from the structure, this solution now actively safeguards the landscaping against erosion and protects the foundation from damaging hydrostatic pressure, ensuring the home's long-term stability and integrity.

This is the state of the Asbury, IA basement prior to our waterproofing system. The homeowner wisely chose to address previous water issues before finishing the space. It is always best to waterproof first because it protects the significant investment you make in drywall, flooring, and furniture from water damage, mold, and rot.
