Photo Album: BasementGutter Drainage System and SafeDri Sump Pump Keep a Basement Dry in Columbus, OH

  • The sub-floor BasementGutter Drainage System is installed throughout the basement, even in tight corners like this one.
  • Cement is poured over the area excavated for the BasementGutter installation, and the work will not be visible once it has dried.
  • The reliable SafeDri Triple Sump Pump, equipped with a Battery Back-Up, was also installed to keep any seeping water out of the basement.
  • The downspout conductor lines were previously just buried in the ground. New lines were installed to lead water away from the home and out to the street. An FreezeGuard was also installed outside the home on the exterior sump pump discharge line. It will prevent flooding if the line becomes blocked or freezes in winter.
  • The new discharge lines were buried underground and directed to the street to drain water out of and away from the home.

Album Description

After living in their house for many years, homeowners in Columbus, OH, recently noticed water in their basement during heavy rains. As much as six inches of water has been in the basement in the past. They use their basement for storage, and were worried about additional damage if this problem would get worse.

They contacted Ohio Basement Authority with the goal of finding a permanent waterproofing solution. One of our expert crews installed the BasementGutter Drainage System and SafeDri Triple Sump Pump to prevent water from entering the basement.

A FreezeGuard was attached to the exterior sump pump discharge line, and new downspout conductor lines were installed to drain water out to the street.

The homeowners are pleased their entire basement will be dry and a safe place for them to store their belongings.
