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. One of our certified inspectors visited the home to determine which repairs and products would work best for this particular case.

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. They attached the SafeDri battery backup which will keep the pump working in the event of a power outage.

After living in their house for several years, homeowners in Mount Gilead, OH, were ready to sell the house and begin a new adventure with their family. Before putting the house on the market, the owners knew they needed to complete various repairs, and that included addressing radon. Radon is a naturally occurring gas produced by uranium decay in rocks and soil. This radioactive gas cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, but it is very dangerous. Exposure to this gas has been linked to more than 20,000 annual deaths. Radon also is a leading cause of lung cancer. The homeowners began to research how to properly address radon in the home, and they were eager to contact Ohio Basement Authority after learning more about us online. They met with one of our expert inspectors who helped them set up a test to measure the home’s radon level. The results indicated the home’s level was 4.8 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). This is slightly higher than the level at which the Environmental Protection Agency recommends mitigating radon, which is 4 pCi/L. Really, no level of radon is ever safe. The homeowners were excited for one of our crews to install a radon mitigation system in the home. We did this by creating a suction point to draw radon from the home. This involved drilling a hole in the basement’s concrete slab floor and then connecting pipes to this hole. The pipes were directed to the home’s exterior, connected to a ventilation fan, and extended past the roof to allow for safe radon expulsion. The homeowners are happy this project was completed to ensure the home’s health and safety for the next owners.

After living in their house for 11 years, homeowners in Mount Gilead, OH, were growing concerned with a potential health hazard in their home. The issue of radon has been in the back of their minds for a few years, and they were finally ready to address it after browsing through Ohio Basement Authority’s website and seeing one of our TV ads. Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is produced by the decay of uranium in rocks and soil. While radon is a naturally occurring gas that is present across the country, it also is extremely hazardous. It is particularly deadly for smokers and former smokers, and it is a leading cause of lung cancer. Radon also has been linked to more than 20,000 deaths each year. Radon is measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L), and the level at which radon mitigation systems are recommended for homes is 4 pCi/L. After testing the owners’ home for radon, the average radon level was 22 pCi/L. We then installed a radon mitigation system in their home to safely pull radon out of the house and ventilate it outside. We also encapsulated the crawl space in CrawlSeal liner to create a healthier crawl space and help prevent radon intrusion through this area of the home. The homeowners are pleased these reliable installations were completed in their home so it will be a safer and healthier living environment.
