Photo Album: Foundation Stabilization & Basement Waterproofing in Senecaville, OH

  • Work begins to excavate the basement floor for BasementGutter installation around the perimeter, as well as Push Piers that will be installed underneath the foundation.
  • Excavation continues in the basement to expose the the foundation footing in preparation for the Push Pier bracket that will be installed.
  • This is one of the foundation brackets that is secured to the footing before the Push Piers are installed under the foundation.
  • Steel tubes are hydraulically driven through the bracket to competent soils or bedrock. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to load bearing strata, and the home can be lifted back to level.
  • This is one of the heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors that is embedded securely in stable soil. It is connected to a strong steel interior wall plate with a long, threaded and galvanized steel rod.
  • Along with the BasementGutter sub-floor drainage system, the SafeDri Triple sump pump will keep the basement dry. It collects any seeping water from the BasementGutter and pumps it out of and away from the home. Gravel was placed around the drainage system, and cement will be poured over the excavated areas so the work will not be visible.
  • These areas that were excavated for the Push Pier installation will also be filled with cement. The homeowners plan to finish the basement, and the work that was done to stabilize the foundation will not be visible.

Album Description

Homeowners living in an older house in Senecaville, OH, wanted to address issues with their foundation walls before finishing the basement. The walls were cracking and bowing, and they were concerned with the home's structural integrity.

They contacted Ohio Basement Authority, and one of our expert crews installed several products that will permanently stabilize the foundation. Eight Push Piers were installed under the foundation, eight wall anchors were installed on the north foundation wall, and nine IntelliJacks were installed throughout the basement to supports floor joists and beams.

The basement was also waterproofed with the installation of the BasementGutter drainage system, SafeDri Triple sump pump, and new discharge lines.

The homeowners are pleased to have a house that will be dry and structurally stable for many years to come.
