Photo Album: Permanently Waterproofing a Leaking Basement in London, OH

  • Water can be seen in puddles and streams along the floor in this basement. Some of the water has seeped through the walls and floor, and some of it could be leaking from the water tank.
  • Here you can see another area where water has seeped inside, leaving puddles and streams along the floor.
  • This older sump pump system is obviously failing to keep up with the seeping water. This system also lacks a proper lid. Otherwise any water in the pit can overflow onto the floor, as well as evaporate back into the air.
  • The BasementGutter interior drainage system placed in the sub-floor throughout the basement will help intercept seeping water and prevent it from damaging the home.
  • The CrawlSeal wall system not only improves the appearance of the walls, but this liner aids in the waterproofing process as well. If any water seeps through the walls, it will automatically run behind CrawlSeal and down to the BasementGutter system below. CrawlSeal also is waterproof and treated with an antimicrobial coating to prevent mold and mildew growth.
  • Here is another view of CrawlSeal on the walls. You also can see sections of FloodRing we placed around the water tank. If the tank leaks, FloodRing will help prevent the water from spilling onto the rest of the floor. The FloodRing also is tied into the BasementGutter system.

Album Description

During the 40 years they have lived in their house, homeowners in London, OH, have never known what it was like to have a dry basement. Water always seemed to leak through the walls and floor during any periods of rain, leaving streams and puddles throughout the basement.

Along with a laundry area, the homeowners use their basement for storage and workshop space. While they haven’t noticed any damages resulting from the seeping water, they wanted to prevent this from happening. They put addressing these problems on the backburner for quite some time, but now they were ready to have these issues fixed once and for all.

After speaking with a trusted friend who was happy with the crawl space repair project Ohio Basement Authority recently completed for him, the homeowners knew they could count on us for the best repair solution. We permanently waterproofed the basement by installing the BasementGutter interior drainage system, SafeDri Prox sump pump, FloodRing attachment around the water tank, and CrawlSeal wall system. We also placed an FreezeGuard on the exterior sump pump discharge line, and this line was tied into a new downspout conductor line installed on the property.

The homeowners can rest easier knowing these trustworthy repairs have helped them create a dry, safe and healthy home.
