Photo Album: Waterproofing and PowerBraces used in West Chester, OH

A West Chester, Ohio homeowner was experiencing water seeping in through the walls and on the floor of their home.  They called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati to find a solution to this problem. The homeowner met with, Austin, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that The PowerBrace System, WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, and Bright Wall Paneling System is installed to resolve the problems in the basement for the homeowner.   The PowerBrace System is used to immediately stabilize the foundation walls and protect them from any further movement.  Over time, the soil around the home expands due to changes in temperature and moisture.  This causes the soil to press against the foundation wall until it eventually begins to crack, bow or tilt.  A PowerBrace is a steel I-beam that is secured tightly against the foundation wall with brackets that are secured to the floor joist and floor.  The PowerBrace has an adjustable bracket that can be adjusted over time to potentially reverse the wall failure.   WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a sub-floor piping system, is used to intercept the water that is seeping into the basement and drain it away unseen by the homeowner.   The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System is a high-end 1/3 hp Zoeller pump.  A sump pump is used to pump water out of the basement.  The SuperSump includes the WaterWatch Alarm, SuperLiner, and the Airtight Lid.  These systems working together will keep the basement dry so that the homeowner can use this valuable space for extra living space or storage.
