Photo Album: CleanSpace Wall System and waterproofing in Versailles, OH

A homeowner of a 1950s home with a block foundation was experiencing some cracks in the walls that were leaking water and also a wall that was starting to tip in the basement. WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is a patented sub-floor piping system.   The water that seeps into the basement drains into the WaterGuard piping and it is drained into a sump pump system, such as the TripleSafe, to be pumped out of the basement. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System is a three pump system.  The Primary pump that will do the majority of the pumping.  The secondary pump will turn on and pump if there is a power failure or if the first pump becomes overwhelmed with a high volume of water.  When this happens, both pumps will pump together and can pump up to 6,250 gallons of water per hour out of the basement.  The third pump is the battery back up pump and it will automatically turn on to pump water out of the basement during a power failure.  The CleanSpace Wall System is a 20-mil-thick reinforced plastic liner that is permanently attached to the basement walls with special drilled-in fasteners.  This covers the walls and also drains wall leaks into the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System.  The PowerBrace System is steel I-beams that are secured tightly against the basement walls with brackets that are attached to the floor and floor joists.  The PowerBrace System immediately and permanently stabilizes the walls from further movement.  With these systems now installed, the homeowner will have peace of mind that the foundation walls will be dry and safe from further movement.
