After acquiring an old home from his family, a homeowner in Ashville, OH, began to consider what repairs and improvements were needed to properly maintain the structure. He noticed water in the basement of the 100-year-old house and wanted to address this issue right away. The owner contacted Ohio Basement Authority after learning more about our company through our website, and we installed some of our many reliable basement waterproofing solutions. These included the BasementGutter drainage system. BasementGutter was installed throughout the basement’s perimeter in the sub-floor, and sections of grated drainage were placed in front of the basement walk-out access point and tied into the BasementGutter system. Both of these drainage systems intercept seeping water and direct it to the SafeDri Triple sump pump system. The SafeDri then pumps the water out of the basement and away from the home’s foundation. FreezeGuards were attached to the exterior sump pump discharge lines, and these lines were tied into new downspout conductor lines that also were installed on the property. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing the home will be a safe and dry living environment.

We installed the SafeDri Battery Back-up sump pump system, which will always operate even in the event of a power outage. Additional basement waterproofing installations included a FreezeGuard that was attached to the exterior sump pump discharge line, and a dehumidifier that will control humidity as well as clean and filter the air.

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. We also installed several Carbon Fiber supports to stabilize the cracking foundation walls and prevent further cracking or inward bowing. The homeowners are pleased their home will now be a structurally stable and healthy living environment because of these reliable repair solutions.  

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.

They have lived in their house since it was built four years ago, but recently homeowners in Commercial Point, OH, began to grow concerned with the health of their home. They wondered if radon could potentially be affecting the health of their home and their family. Radon is a naturally occurring gas produced by uranium decay in soil and rocks. This radioactive gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without the proper testing. Radon is also very dangerous. It is a leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking, and exposure to radon has been linked to more than 20,000 annual deaths. All of these factors greatly concerned the homeowners, so they began to research how to best address radon. They contacted Ohio Basement Authority after learning more about our company online, and then met with one of our inspectors. After testing their home for radon, the owners were surprised to learn the home’s level was 64 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. The homeowners were eager for one of our crews to install a radon mitigation system in their home. This involved drilling a hole in the basement’s concrete slab floor to create a suction point to draw radon from the home. Strong pipes were connected to this suction point and directed to the home’s exterior. The pipes then connected to an external fan unit that helps ventilate the radon out of the home. More pipes attached to the top of the fan were extended past the home’s roof for safe and effective radon expulsion. The homeowners can now breathe easier knowing this reliable solution has helped them create a safer and healthier living environment for their family.
