Your Leading Morrow County, OH Wet Basement & Structural Repair Company

After living in her house for one year, a homeowner in Mount Gilead, OH, was motivated to address some glaring issues in her basement. Water seemed to leak inside during periods of heavy rain, leaving puddles on the floor. Not only did she want to have this issue fixed, she also wanted to make sure the house was up to code by having an egress window installed in livable space in the finished portion of the basement. As she began to research how to best address these issues, she discussed her concerns with a trusted friend. This friend talked about how happy he was with the crawl space encapsulation Ohio Basement Authority recently completed for him, so he recommended contacting us for help. The owner was eager to do so to learn more about how we could help her. The homeowner met with one of our inspectors who thoroughly evaluated the leaking basement. Along with our reliable basement waterproofing solutions, our inspector also recommended having one of our crews install an egress window. The crew then installed the BasementGutter interior drainage system and SafeDri Triple sump pump in the basement. The sub-floor BasementGutter system intercepts any seeping water from the walls and floor. This water is then directed to the powerful, reliable SafeDri Triple and pumped out of the basement. FreezeGuards were attached to the exterior sump pump discharge lines, and these lines were tied into a new downspout conductor line that was installed on the property. An egress window also was installed in the basement bedroom to function as an emergency exit, as well as allow more natural light to enter the room. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing her home will be a healthy and safe living environment because of these trustworthy solutions.

A homeowner in Marengo, OH, contacted us because a corner of the house was leaking water. The basement was finished and included a utilized fourth bedroom.

They also wanted to include a SafeDri Super pump system with the SafeDri battery backup. The installation crew came in and first installed the egress window. This is a window large enough to use as an escape route in the event of an emergency, and they are required for a finished basement. It also includes steps out to allow easier access to the surface. Lastly, they installed the SafeDri Super pump system which is a 1/2-horsepower cast iron pump which can pump up to 2,200 gallons of water per hour.
