A Nasty Crawl Space in Springfield, OH, Benefits from an Encapsulation with CrawlSeal

Upon purchasing a house in Springfield, OH, a homebuyer wanted to address and correct unhealthy conditions in the crawl space. He noticed water in this area underneath the house, and he wanted to make sure there were no other concerns. He researched various repair companies and options, then contacted Ohio Basement Authority after learning more about us through online resources like Home Advisor. While completing a thorough evaluation at the home one of our inspectors noticed the crawl space was full of improper, failing insulation, as well as debris and water intrusion most likely due to several open vents. Per Pat’s recommendations, one of our expert crews installed several permanent crawl space repair solutions. These included the CrawlDrain drainage system to keep the crawl space dry, and exterior vent covers to seal the crawl space from outside air, pests, and precipitation. The crawl space also was completely isolated from the earth with a CrawlSeal encapsulation. Not only does this thick liner serve as a moisture and vapor barrier, it helps insulate the crawl space, as well. ExTremeBloc panels also were installed on the walls for further insulation and to enhance energy savings. The new owner is pleased these reliable products were installed so the home will be a healthier and energy-efficient living environment for many years to come.

BasementGutter is designed to sit in the sub-floor and atop the footing in the basement to intercept water from the walls and floor. This water is then directed to drain into the SafeDri system to be pumped out of the basement. The thick and durable CrawlSeal liner in the crawl space completely seals the area to isolate it from the earth, as well as prevent moisture and vapor intrusion. The homeowners are happy to now have a safer and healthier living environment because of these reliable repairs.

Homeowners in South Charleston, OH, were concerned about basement flooding and the efflorescence (white powder) being left behind from evaporated water. Inspector Danny Pease visited the home to assess the situation. He explained the different waterproofing products we offer and discussed how each would work to permanently waterproof the basement. The homeowners chose to have FreezeGuard, a SafeDri Triple sump pump, and the BasementGutter interior drainage system installed. The production then began work on the project. First, they installed the SafeDri Triple sump pump system. This is a system with two types of backup pumps in case of emergency. It includes the main 1/3-horsepower cast iron pump, a stronger 1/2-horsepower pump, and a SafeDri battery backup in case of power loss. Next, they removed a small amount of concrete around the perimeter of the basement and nestled BasementGutter drains in the channels. This drainage system is the only French drain system designed not to clog with mud and debris from soil under the floor. It collects water from the ground and wall with large holes and special flange. Finally, they attached FreezeGuard to the downspout pipe to ensure that water will always have an exit route even if the pipe is frozen during cold periods. The homeowners are excited about their newly waterproofed basement and are now able to turn it into a usable, dry space.

Carbon Fiber Supports Stabilize Cracking, Bowing Foundation Walls in Springfield, OH

They have lived in their house for more than 40 years, and during that time homeowners in Springfield, OH, have noticed cracks in the foundation walls getting worse.

As the force pushes against the walls over time, it causes the walls to begin to fail, crack, and bow inward. The homeowners are thinking about their ability to sell the house in the future, and they want to make sure it will be a safe and stable environment that will maintain its value. The owners contacted Ohio Basement Authority after learning more about our company through websites like Home Advisor. We patched all the cracks and installed one of our many reliable foundation repair products. A total of 19 Carbon Fiber wall supports was installed on the two problematic foundation walls.

A home in South Vienna, OH, had a very musty odor for two years. The homeowner was tired of the smell and worried about her health, so she called Ohio Basement Authority for a solution. One of our certified inspectors looked at the crawl space and knew that this was the source of the problem. He explained the crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation products we have, and how these would eliminate the smell and create a healthier living space. The homeowner decided to go with CrawlSeal Liner, CrawlDrain, ExTremeBloc and SafeDri. CrawlSeal is a thick plastic liner used to isolate the crawl space from moisture, dirt, and pests.

The new window’s all-vinyl frame is rust-resistant, and its double-pane glass is energy-efficient. A lightly-colored window well was installed outside the window, which allows more natural light into the basement.

One of our inspectors visited the property to assess the condition of the basement. Our inspector then recommended some of our reliable foundation repair and basement waterproofing solutions. One of our crews then stabilized the problematic foundation walls with several IntelliBrace beams. These durable beams not only permanently reinforce the foundation walls, they also offer the best opportunity to straighten them, as they can be tightened during dry seasons for potential wall improvement. The basement also was waterproofed with the BasementGutter interior drainage system, SafeDri Triple sump pump system and exterior FreezeGuard attachments. Any seeping water intercepted by the sub-floor BasementGutter system is directed to the SafeDri Triple sump pump to be pumped out of the house. FreezeGuards also were attached to the exterior sump pump discharge lines to prevent flooding from frozen or blocked lines. The new owners are pleased to now have a home that will be safer and healthier because of these trustworthy repairs.

Updating Exterior Drainage in Springfield, OH

After living in their house for several years, homeowners in Springfield, OH, began to notice water leaking into the basement. This happened to be in the same areas as exterior gutter downspouts. Concerned with the health and safety of their house, the owners wanted to have this issue addressed right away. As they searched for repair options, they came across information about Ohio Basement Authority on Home Advisor. They were eager to contact us to learn more about how we could help them, as well as meet with one of our inspectors. Our inspector evaluated the existing exterior drainage system, and he advised the owner to have this system upgraded. One of our crews then replaced the lines with newer, thicker pipe used for the downspout conductor lines. These lines were placed in the ground and directed to drain water far enough away from the home’s foundation. YardWell outlets also were used to conceal the ends of the lines in the yard. The homeowners are pleased to have an updated exterior drainage system to aid in keeping their home dry.

Water Leaking in 1920's Farmhouse in South Vienna, OH

Homeowners in South Vienna, OH started experiencing dampness and wet floors in the basement of their farmhouse built in the 1920's. The basement was used for storage, so they were worried about their belongings becoming wet and waterlogged. Because of this, they contacted Ohio Basement Authority. One of our certified inspectors visited the home and explained all of the waterproofing products we offer and how they would work together to create a dry living space. The homeowners decided to go with CrawlSeal Liner, SafeDri Triple sump pump, FreezeGuard, and BasementGutter. The installation crew first installed CrawlSeal Liner on the stone foundation walls which were causing a damper, cooler basement. This is a thick plastic liner which separates the basement from the moisture, mold, and microbes of the outside world. Next, they installed the Basement Air System. This is a dehumidifier unlike any other which filters and dries the air to create a drier, cleaner air flow. Then, they installed the SafeDri Triple sump pump. This includes two cast-iron pumps that can work one at a time or together if the occasion calls for it. It also includes a SafeDri battery backup to keep the pump going in the event of a power outage. They attached FreezeGuard to the end of the discharge line outside to allow water to escape even if the line becomes frozen or blocked with ice and snow. Finally, they installed BasementGutter which is an interior drainage system that is specially designed to collect water from the ground and walls and carry it to the sump pump system without risk of clogging. The homeowners can now safely use their basement for storage and no longer have to worry about puddles of water on their floors.

Water Leaks Through a Fireplace in South Vienna, OH

A lady in South Vienna, OH called us about water leaking from underneath the fireplace hearth in the basement after rains. As there was a television in front of the fireplace, this was a concern for the homeowner. For health reasons, she was also worried about the mold the moisture was causing. One of certified inspectors visited this home and laid out the best plan of action for the situation. He suggested using BasementGutter and a SafeDri Triple sump pump to get rid of the leakage and excess water. First, BasementGutter was installed by our production crew. BasementGutter is an interior piping system which collects water from the ground and wall and carries it to a sump pump system. Unlike traditional pipe and gravel drainage systems, BasementGutter is resistant to clogs. Next, the SafeDri Triple sump pump was installed. SafeDri Triple is a state-of-the-art sump pump system which includes two cast-iron pumps (one to backup the first) and a battery backup which keeps the system running in the event of a power outage. It also includes an airtight lid to keep dirt and debris out of the system, and an alarm as an extra precaution to alert the homeowners if the pump stops working for any reason. With these reliable repairs, the homeowner no longer has to worry about mold from water leakage, or water touching the wires of her television.

The company representative’s presentation was thorough, and he answered all my questions. I chose to work with Ohio Basement Authority because of the company’s reputation and warranty guarantee.

Jose and the guys answered my questions and worked quickly. They changed up how the outside drain connected so that it went to the curb rather than the lawn. After discussing it, I’m glad we went that route instead.

Overall I’m pleased.

The inspector was very professional. He took a great deal of time to identify the problem we had. We decided to go with Ohio Basement Authority because of your knowledge of our problem.

The boys on the crew wanted to be sure we were informed of what they were doing and satisfied with their job.

I could not have been more pleased with the job. My husband is so particular about the way things are done, so he usually completes the work himself. He was so complimentary of the crew and the job they did.

Austin B.

Springfield, OH

Austin B. called Ohio Basement Authority for help because the basement in his Springfield, OH, home had an ongoing flooding problem. After every heavy rain, he would find the basement under one to two inches of water. That eventually led to a serious, widespread mold problem.

After having a good drainage system, a state-of-the-art sump pump, and a brand new basement window installed, all the leaks and humidity are gone.

Austin is very happy with the way Ohio Basement Authority took care of the problem. "When they are working for you, they feel like family," he said. "Very hardworking, put all the proper parts in, and since then the house has been water-free and mold-free."

I was comfortable with the work crew. They were honest and hard-working, and they suggested improvements and ways to save time and money.

The work crew that put in our French drain is the most professional I’ve seen since I retired. They worked hard, solved problems, modified the installation to overcome obstacles on the fly, and completed a two-day job in one long day. I cannot commend them enough.

Such employees do great credit to themselves and your company. Please convey to Adam my great appreciation for a job very well done.

The inspector I met with was very nice and worked through my options. The entire team was honest and wanted to fix the problem, not sell something.

My foreman was fantastic. He should be a supervisor over several crews and teach them his work ethic.

This is a great, honest company that does what’s right.
