Photo Album: Our Reliable Waterproofing Solutions Will Keep an Old Home Dry in Pleasantville, OH

  • The basement of this more than 100-year-old home has visible water intrusion and damage.
  • Here is another corner of the basement that has been impacted by possibly years of leaking water.
  • As the repair project begins, the basement's perimeter was excavated to install the BasementGutter drainage system in the sub-floor. CrawlSeal also was placed on the walls to improve their appearance and help with waterproofing. Any seeping water from the walls automatically runs behind the liner and down into the BasementGutter system.
  • Any water collected by BasementGutter is directed to drain to the SafeDri Triple sump pump system. This system features three powerful pumps inside the liner, as well as an external backup battery to ensure the system will continue to operate to pump water out of the basement, even during power outages.
  • FreezeGuards are attached to the exterior sump pump discharge line to prevent flooding if the line freezes or becomes blocked. These exterior discharge lines and a new downspout conductor line were placed in the ground and directed to drain away from the home. The lines converged into one line, and the end of this line was concealed with a YardWell outlet.

Album Description

After living in their house for several years, homeowners in Pleasantville, OH, decided they wanted to take on a basement finishing project. Before doing so, they knew they needed to address another issue. Water was visibly leaking into the basement, leaving behind puddles and other damage. Before finishing a basement, it is important to make sure it will be dry.

While attending a local home and garden show, the owners spotted Ohio Basement Authority’s booth. They stopped by and discussed their plans with our teammates, and they were eager to schedule an appointment to meet with one of our inspectors. After completing a thorough evaluation of the home, our inspector then recommended several reliable basement waterproofing solutions.

One of our crews then waterproofed the basement with the BasementGutter interior drainage system and SafeDri Triple sump pump system, as well as a dehumidifier and the CrawlSeal wall system. Additionally, exterior waterproofing solutions were installed including FreezeGuards, YardWell outlet, and downspout conductor lines.

The homeowners are happy to have a safer and healthier home, and they can now finish the basement knowing it will stay dry because of these trustworthy repairs.
