Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: EverLast Wall Restoration, WaterGuard and Sump System to resolve water problems in Cincinnati, OH
A Cincinnati, Ohio homeowner had problems with water seeping into the finished basement after a hard rain. The homeowner called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for a solution to this problem and met with Michael, a Certified Inspector.
Michael recommended that WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System along with an UltraSump Battery Back-up System, and an EverLast Basement Wall System is installed to resolve the problems in the basement the homeowner was experiencing.
WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is a piping system installed along the foundation walls. The WaterGuard intercepts the water that is seeping into the basement. The water is then drained into the sump pump system, such as a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System.
The SuperSump is a high-end 1/3 hp Zoeller cast iron pump and comes with a WaterWatch Alarm, SuperLiner, and Airtight Lid. The WaterWatch Alarm sounds if there is a pump or power failure alerting the homeowner to an issue with the system. The SuperLiner has 96 holes in it to allow water to flow into the liner from under the floor and will not crack or cave in. The Airtight Lid keeps things from falling into the liner, keeps out bugs and odors and quiets the pump. An option and highly recommended is the UltraSump Battery Back-up System. The UltraSump will automatically turn on during a primary pump or power failure and will run on battery power. It comes with a maintenance free battery and charging station.
The EverLast Basement Wall System is panels of cement board covered with a textured, mold-proof, washable vinal finish. This is the perfect solution to repair finished walls that have been damaged by water seeping into the basement without having to rip out all the drywall and start over. To install the EverLast Walls, only the bottom part of the studs and drywall is removed. Then replaced with metal studs and the EverLast Wall Panels and trimmed with plastic that will not mold or rot and doesn't need to be painted. The EverLast Panels can be installed along with the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System and will not be ruined by water or high humidity.
Another option available is ThermalDry flooring. ThermalDry flooring is specially made for the damp basement environment and comes in a variety of colors and textures.
