The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing the home will be a safe and dry living environment.

After living in their house for one year, homeowners in Circleville, OH, noticed water seeping into their basement during heavy rains and when snow melted. This resulted in puddles on the floor, usually in corners of the basement where there also were some cracks in the foundation walls. Because they plan to live in the house for several years, the homeowners wanted to make sure it would be a healthy home free of leaking water. They contacted Ohio Basement Authority after learning more about our company through online resources like Home Advisor. We then installed some of our many reliable basement waterproofing and foundation repair products. These included the BasementGutter interior drainage system, SafeDri Battery Backup System, and a FreezeGuard to help keep the basement dry. If water seeps into the basement, it will be intercepted by the sub-floor BasementGutter system and directed to the SafeDri. The SafeDri then pumps the water safely out of the basement and away from the home’s foundation. The FreezeGuard attached to the exterior sump pump discharge line will help prevent flooding if the line should freeze or become blocked. This line also was tied into new downspout conductor lines that were installed on the property.

A sump pump previously installed by a different company began leaking and running more often than it had before. The owners of the New Holland, OH home noticed that water from the pump was leaking out on the side of the house. There was a large puddle because of this which had created a "mosquito pond" in the yard. They called us in to figure out what the problem was. A certified inspector visited the home to assess the situation. He determined that the sump pump discharge lines were clogged or malfunctioning, so instead of releasing water far away from the foundation, it was escaping prematurely right next to it. The pump was working more often because the water puddle was leaking back down into the basement through the foundation walls. He suggested replacing the discharge pipes and adding a YardWell Outlet. The production crew started by excavating a channel for the new polyethylene pipes. These were connected to the sump pump discharge line to carry the water away from the home. Then, they attached a Yardwell Outlet to the end of the pipe. This is a grated opening which fits snugly to the ground and is camouflaged against the grass. It allows water to escape from the pipe without causing a tripping or lawn mowing hazard. With this fix, the homeowners are again able to rely on their sump pump and waterproofing system to keep their home dry.
