Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space Encapsulation Projects Improve the Health of a Home in Pickerington, OH

  • Past the stored items and laundry, you can see discoloration on the walls and floor. This indicates water seepage and damage, which could eventually damage other items in the basement.
  • This partial crawl space adjacent to the basement is an unhealthy and unsightly area that also needs attention.
  • The BasementGutter interior drainage system was placed in the sub-floor around the basement's perimeter to catch seeping water. This water is then directed to the "king of sump pumps," the SafeDri Triple sump. This system features three powerful pumps inside the liner, as well as an external backup battery. FreezeGuards also were attached to the exterior sump pump discharge lines. The dehumidifier also was installed to improve air quality, and the partial crawl space was encapsulated and insulated.
  • Here you can see the noticeable difference in the appearance and health of the crawl space. This area was encapsulated in thick and durable CrawlSeal liner, which completely seals the home from the earth. CrawlSeal also acts as a moisture and vapor barrier, and it helps insulate the crawl space. The area was further insulated by ExTremeBloc panels that were placed on the walls. Additionally, a vent cover was placed on the home's exterior to further seal the area from outside air, precipitation and pests.

Album Description

After living in their house for many years, homeowners in Pickerington, OH, could no longer ignore a longtime issue. Water was slightly seeping into the basement, and the owners didn’t want to have to worry about a flood or other damage from this water.

Motivated to address this problem once and for all, the owners began to research potential repairs. They contacted Ohio Basement Authority after finding information about our company online, and they were eager to learn more about how we could help them. They met with one of our inspectors who assessed the condition of the basement. Along with evidence of water intrusion and damage, our inspector also noticed a nasty partial crawl space adjacent to the basement. He then recommended the perfect repairs for both of these areas.

One of our crews then waterproofed the basement with the BasementGutter interior drainage system, SafeDri Triple sump pump, dehumidifier, and FreezeGuard exterior discharge line attachments.

The crawl space also was encapsulated with CrawlSeal liner, insulated with ExTremeBloc panels, and sealed from the outside with a vent cover.

The homeowners are pleased to have a healthier basement, crawl space, and home because of these trustworthy repairs.
