Photo Album: Waterproofing and Stabilizing a Home in Richwood, OH

  • There is evidence of water intrusion along the walls, and the walls are showing signs of failure in the form of various cracks and inward tilting.
  • Here you can see the remnants of water seepage and damage on the floor, as well as the wall's state of disrepair.
  • As our crew begins to address the repairs, one of the first steps in reinforcing the wall is to knock holes into the bottom courses of the wall along the intended paths of the Carbon Fiber supports. Pieces of rebar, or reinforcing steel rods, like the ones seen on the floor, will be placed inside these holes and properly seated to stabilize the bottom of the walls.
  • The walls are now stable and protected from further cracking and movement because of the Carbon Fiber supports. BasementGutter was placed in the floor to catch seeping water from the walls and floor, and this water is then directed to the SafeDri Triple sump pump system.

Album Description

Homeowners in Richwood, OH, were tired of dealing with longtime water intrusion and structural issues in their basement. They started to research how to best address the leaking basement with cracking, tilting walls, and they found information online about Ohio Basement Authority. The owners were then eager to contact us to learn more about how we could help them.

They met with Inspector Francis Purcell, and Francis completed a thorough evaluation of the home and its problematic basement. Francis then recommended some of our reliable basement waterproofing and foundation repair solutions.

One of our crews then waterproofed the basement with the BasementGutter drainage system and SafeDri Triple sump pump, as well as exterior FreezeGuard and YardWell attachments. The foundation walls were reinforced with several Carbon Fiber supports, which firmly adhere to the walls to permanently stabilize them in their current positions.

The homeowners can rest easier knowing these trustworthy solutions are protecting their living environment.
