Photo Album: Water seeping in along the floor resolved in Cincinnati, OH

A Cincinnati, Ohio homeowner had a home built in the 60s that was leaking water in onto the basement floor.  The basement foundation has poured walls, and there is no sump pump installed.  He met with a Certified Inspector, Austin, who recommended that WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, SuperSumpPremier Sump Pump System with UltraSump Battery Back-up System, BrightWall Panelling System, and PowerBraces are installed to resolve this problem.   WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is a piping system installed along the foundation walls that intercepts water that seeps into the basement.  The water is then drained out of the basement through the sump pump system.   The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System has a high-end 1/3 Zoeller cast iron pump with a mechanical float switch.  It can pump up to 2,650 gallons of water an hour.  It includes the WaterWatch Alarm, SuperLiner and Airtight Lid.  BrightWall Paneling System is 4x8 sheets of plastic paneling that is permanently fastened to the foundation walls.  BrightWall not only brightens up the basement but will drain water leaks down into the drainage system. PowerBrace System consists of I-Beams that are secured to the floor joists and floors to support foundation walls that are cracking, bowing or tipping.  As the soil around the home expands with moisture and frost, the soil pushes against the foundation walls until it can longer support the pressure and it causes cracking, tipping and bowing of the walls.  When this happens, PowerBraces are used to support the walls.  The unique patented design is able to be tightened over time potentially reversing the wall failure.  Having these braces installed restores your property value and gives you peace of mind that the foundation is now stable.
