Photo Album: Bowing and Leaking Basement Wall Repair in Milford, Ohio
A Milford, Ohio homeowner noticed moisture and a bowing basement wall, so they called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati. Certified Inspector Michael recommended the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, SuperSump Pump System with UltraSump Battery Back-up, BrightWall Paneling, and PowerBraces to address the issues.
WaterGuard captures seepage and drains it to the sump pump. The SuperSump handles the water with features like a WaterWatch Alarm and Airtight Lid, preventing backflow and reducing noise. The UltraSump Battery Back-up ensures pumping continues during power outages. BrightWall Panels brighten the basement while redirecting leaks to the WaterGuard system.
For the bowing wall, the PowerBrace System uses steel I-beams to stabilize and, over time, may help straighten the wall.
Together, these systems protect the basement from water and foundation issues, creating a dry, stable space.
With these products installed, the homeowner will no longer worry about water intrusion. The WaterGuard and the SuperSump will be pumping the water out of the basement. The wall that was bowing is now stabilized and over time it may be able to be straightened.
