Photo Album: Our Solutions Will Help Keep a Wet Basement Dry in Belle Center, OH

  • This above-ground gutter downspout and exterior drainage extension not only affects the appearance of the home, but its safety as well. Even though water is directed to drain away from the house, problems with the pipe could allow water to collect near the foundation and leak inside.
  • Evidence of water intrusion and damage is visible along the walls and floor in the basement. The floor drain also is problematic, and could overflow and lead to the same issues.
  • The basement's perimeter was excavated to properly install the BasementGutter system in the sub-floor. Weep holes were drilled into the bottom of the walls to allow seeping or built-up water to drain from the walls and flow into the BasementGutter system.
  • BasementGutter is placed in the sub-floor and atop the footing to accept seeping water from the walls and floor. Any water collected by BasementGutter is then directed to drain into the SafeDri Triple sump pump system that was installed. The SafeDri Triple features three powerful pumps inside the liner.
  • Once the systems were completely installed, cement was applied to the areas excavated for the installation. The backup battery was hooked up for the sump pump system, and a dehumidifier was installed for better air quality. The dehumidifer self-drains into the SafeDri.
  • FreezeGuards were attached to the exterior sump pump discharge lines to prevent flooding if the lines should freeze or become blocked. Along with a new gutter downspout line in this corner, the lines were tied together into a new downspout conductor line that was installed on the property.
  • The exterior drainage line was placed in the ground and directed to drain far away from the home in the yard. The end of this line was concealed by a YardWell outlet that blends into the ground. It easily can be removed for cleaning and maintenance, and it is strong enough to withstand lawnmower traffic.

Album Description

A homeowner in Belle Center, OH, has lived in her house for many years. But it wasn’t until recently that she was motivated to address a problem in the house. Water was visibly leaking inside the basement and leaving damage behind. Before any serious damage occurred, the owner wanted to fix this issue once and for all.

Her son works for a repair company in Tennessee, and he referred his mother to us because he knew she would have a world-class experience with our company.

The owner met with one of our inspectors who completed a thorough evaluation of the home and its leaking basement. Our inspector then presented the homeowner with several reliable repair solutions that would help keep the basement dry.

One of our crews then waterproofed the basement with the BasementGutter interior drainage system, a trustworthy SafeDri Triple sump pump system, and a dehumidifier. Additionally, FreezeGuards were attached to the exterior sump pump discharge lines, and a YardWell outlet was used to conceal the end of a buried downspout line in the yard. All of these products work together to intercept seeping water and rid it from the home.

The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing these reliable repairs have helped her create a safer and healthier living environment.
