Our Patented Basement Waterproofing System

Why You Have a Wet Basement in Ohio and Northern Kentucky

Before discussing our waterproofing system, you need to first understand why your basement is wet. The earth surrounding your basement contains water, which presses up against the foundation walls of your home. Water outside of the basement will constantly be trying to come in. This is especially true in areas with high groundwater or during a rainstorm. 

As the external water presses up against your basement walls it enters in three ways.

1. The first is through obvious openings like basement windows and entrances.
2. The second way is through wall and floor cracks. Wall and floor cracks, generally caused by foundation settlement, provide tiny avenues through which pressurized water can find its way into your basement. (Water will also find its way through the joint where the basement wall meets the floor slab.)
3. The last way water gets into your basement is directly through the concrete. Concrete is porous and has tiny air bubbles throughout. Water vapor can slowly make its way through your basement wall and seep into your basement. So water can make it straight through a concrete wall! That is the bad news. The good news is that our basement waterproofing system takes care of all these problems. 

Patented Waterproofing Products

The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati is a member of Basement Systems, Inc., the largest network of basement waterproofing contractors in the world. As part of this network, we receive access to patented basement waterproofing products. The waterproofing products have been designed and tested over 25+ years and been successfully installed in hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the U.S. Canada and the United Kingdom. We are the only licensed Basement Systems dealer in Greater Cincinnati. This means other basement waterproofing companies in the area have to rely on inferior waterproofing products. 

A Complete Waterproofing Solution

All of the waterproofing products fit together to form a comprehensive basement waterproofing system. The first part of the system is a hidden drain which is placed in a channel jackhammered along the inner perimeter of the basement. After installation the drain is covered with a fresh layer of cement, making it 'invisible'. Any water that enters the basement through the concrete, wall cracks or the wall joint is collected into the drainage channel.

The drain channels the water to a sump pump, generally installed in the corner of your basement. The sump pump pumps the water up and out through a drainage pipe which runs underground away from the home. The water is finally expelled safely away from your foundation through a french drain. A specially designed basement dehumidifier is also installed to keep the relative humidity of the basement low enough to prevent mold growth and rot. Any water collected from the basement dehumidifier is emptied into the sump pump. The system works quietly and effectively, keeping your basement dry and protected.

High-Quality Waterproofing

Many of the basement waterproofing companies in Greater Cincinnati you might talk to will try and win your business
by offering the lowest price. What they won't tell you is that they are installing cheap, low-quality products in your home. At The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati our focus is on creating the highest quality waterproofing system that will last the lifetime of your home. Instead of a cheap, plastic corrugated pipe for drainage, we use a custom-designed steel drainage channel. Instead of an off-the-shelf sump pump, we install a cast-iron pump, backup pump and battery-backup (in case of a power outage).

We may not be the lowest price of all the basement waterproofing companies you speak with. But, we will offer the highest-quality system and the greatest value for your home.
