Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water seeping into a basement of a 1940s home resolved in Cincinnati, OH
An owner of a home built in the 1940s noticed water seeping into the basement between the floor and the wall so they called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati to find a resolution to this problem. The homeowner met with Austin, who recommended that WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a TrenchDrain, a SuperSump Pump System with an UltraSump Battery Back-up System is installed to resolve the problems that the homeowner was having in the basement.
WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is a piping system that is installed into the floor at the foundation wall. The WaterGuard intercepts the water that is seeping into the basement and drains it into a sump pump system so that it can be pumped out of the basement. The TrenchDrain works with the WaterGuard, but the TrenchDrain has a grated opening so that water can flow in from the top of the piping. This allows water that seeps into the basement through a doorway to flow into the piping system and not across the floor.
The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System pumps water out of the basement. The SuperSump is a high-end Zoeller 1/3 horsepower pump. It includes the WaterWatch Alarm, SuperLiner and Airtight Lid with an Airtight Floor Drain. The UltraSump Battery Back-up system comes with its own power pack and charging station and will automatically turn on to pump water out of the basement during a power failure.
Now that these products are installed, the homeowner can use the basement for storage or extra living space without having to worry about water intrusion.

The SuperSump and UltraSump Pump System.
The SuperSump and UltraSump pump both fit into the SuperLiner so it won't take up much space in the basement. The Airtight Lid is so strong you could store things on top of it if needed.
