Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing and Stabilization in Newark, OH

  • Water intrusion and damage is evident, as you can see by the discoloration and puddles on the floor.
  • The owners have tried to dry out one of the leaking areas by placing a fan in this area. This is not going to solve the problem in any way.
  • As the owners began to remove some of the paneling in the basement, they uncovered cracks in the foundation walls.
  • The basement's perimeter was excavated to install the BasementGutter drainage system in the sub-floor. Weep holes were drilled into the bottommost courses of the walls to allow any leaking or built-up water in the walls an escape route into the BasementGutter system. The walls also were prepped for the Carbon Fiber strap installation.
  • To ensure a clean work area and the proper adhesion of the Carbon Fiber supports, the wall were sanded down along the intended paths for these supports. Holes also were knocked into the bottom of the walls along these paths and rebar was placed inside to help anchor the walls.
  • After the Carbon Fiber straps were placed on the walls, BasementGutter was placed in the sub-floor. This drainage system is specifically designed to accept seeping water from the walls and floor.
  • Along with the BasementGutter system, this SafeDri sump pump was installed to pump seeping water out of the basement. The external backup battery ensures the system will always operate even during power outages, and the pumps were place inside the larger SafeDri Triple system's liner to allow for easy future upgrades.

Album Description

After living in their house for six years, homeowners in Newark, OH, recently began to notice a glaring problem in their basement. Water was leaking from the walls behind the paneling, leaving puddles and damage behind. Upon removing some of the damaged paneling, the owners then discovered cracks in the foundation walls along with some inward tilting.

They knew they could count on Ohio Basement Authority for the perfect permanent solutions, as they were acquainted with one of our service technicians. Our tech visited to evaluate the condition of the basement, and he recommended some of our reliable basement waterproofing and foundation repair solutions.

One of our crews then installed the BasementGutter interior drainage system, SafeDri sump pump, dehumidifier and external FreezeGuard discharge line attachment to help keep the basement dry.
