Photo Album: Waterproofing with BasementGutter & SafeDri Triple in Columbus, OH

  • Here is a look at one of the problem walls in the basement. Note the discoloration, which is a sign of water and mold damage.
  • The unsightly, damp walls of this basement make for an uncomfortable and unhealthy living space.
  • The basement floor is removed to make room for the BasementGutter piping system.
  • As room is made for the BasementGutter pipes, a SafeDri Triple sump pump is installed in the corner.
  • The SafeDri Triple sump pump in the corner features three pumps and a battery back-up. If any of the pumps fail, the others will take over. The battery back up means that even in a power outage, this basement will stay dry.
  • The walls are prepped and ready for the installation of Carbon Fiber wall supports.
  • Here is a close-up of an area where Carbon Fiber wall supports will be installed. Carbon Fiber wall supports supports will prevent any further bowing.
  • A crew member works on installing Carbon Fiber wall supports that will make the walls more structurally sound.
  • The first part of this project is complete. This included the installation of Carbon Fiber on the walls and the BasementGutter drainage system along the perimeter of the basement.
  • Here is another look at the installation of Carbon Fiber, BasementGutter and the SafeDri Triple Sump Pump.
  • A total of 16 Carbon Fiber wall supports were installed around the basement; five each along the north and south walls, and six on the west wall.
  • An upright dehumidifier is installed in the corner near the TripleSafe. It will eliminate damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the air.
  • A BasementGutter Waterproofing System with a SafeDri Triple Sump Pump, and Basement Air System, turn a dangerous, unusable basement into a clean, safe, and comfortable area for your and your family to enjoy.

Album Description

Within a couple of months after moving into their northeast Columbus house these homeowners experienced a flooded basement. After paneling was removed, they also noticed the walls were bowed and cracked. In addition, they were concerned about mold. They contacted Ohio Basement Authority, and one of our certified inspectors suggested several products that would completely overhaul the basement.

Different products that were installed included the BasementGutter drainage system, SafeDri Triple sump pump, LumaBright panels, dehumidifier, Carbon Fiber wall supports, and FreezeGuard sump pump discharge line system, as well as a sewer floor drain and discharge line.

The homeowners now have a completely transformed basement that is healthy and dry!
