Clinton County's Leading Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

A Clarksville homeowner had water in the crawl space area of the home.  We installed a SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System to the home.  The SmartSump is a pump designed especially for crawl spaces.  Most people don't venture into the crawl space that often.  This pump system has a unique lid design so that water from a plumbing leak fills a special pocket on the lid first that sounds the "WaterWatch Alarm".  This will alert the homeowner to a problem in the crawlspace before damage can occur.  The WaterWatch Alarm will also alert you to a problem with the pump or if there is a power failure.  The SmartSump is a great addition to any crawl space and is also available with an optional UltraSump Battery Back-up System that would automatically turn itself on during times of pump or power failure.  

A Wilmington Ohio homeowner was having problems with moisture in the crawl space and also noticed some cracks in the walls, creaking floors, and doors that were difficult to close in the living space of the home.  We installed SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System, a SmartDrain Crawl Space Drainage System, and SmartJacks Floor Supports to help with the problems that the homeowner was having in the crawl space.

Also recommended for this crawl space would be the CleanSpace Encapsulation System.  CleanSpace is a 20-mil-thick plastic liner, similar to a pool liner that provides a vapor-proof barrier between the ground and the home.  The CleanSpace Liner is attached to the floor and walls of the crawl space.  This helps to control the moisture and also makes it easier to access the crawl space when needed.  

The SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage system is a pump system specially made for crawl spaces.  The SmartSump will pump water out of the crawl space.  It also has a WaterWatch Alarm that will sound if there is plumbing leaking into the crawl space.  The water will fill a special pocket on the lid and sound the alarm alerting the homeowner that there is a problem in the crawl space.  This alarm will also sound if there is a power outage to alert the homeowner.  If there is a plumbing leak, the water will flow into the Airtight Floor Drain on the lid but will not be able to come back int the crawl space.  

The SmartPipe is a perimeter drainage system for the crawl space.  It is a perimeter piping system with holes throughout it to allow water that is seeping into the crawl space to drain into the SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System.  The SmartPipe is covered with a special filter fabric that will keep debris from entering the pipe.  The water that is collected by the SmartPipe is drained into the SmartSump to be pumped out of the crawl space.

The SmartJacks Floor support is used to support the floors and can also be used to jack up a floor that is not level due to the settling of the home.  The SmartJack is set into a structural stone and then attached to the floor joist with a bracket with an adjustable screw that is used to jack up the floor.

Now the homeowner will no longer have to worry about doors not being able to close, creaking floors, and getting more cracks in the walls.  The homeowner may consider adding the CleanSpace Encapsulation System to the home at a later date to complete the crawl space project.    

We used Polylevel Injection for a homeowner in Wilmington, Ohio that was having problems with some concrete slabs at their home that had sunk over time.  

Polylevel is a foam that is injected underneath a concrete slab.  The foam fills the void underneath and raises it back up to the level position. 

A homeowner in New Vienna, Ohio had concerns about the floors sagging in their home.  This home has a basement and a crawl space.  We used SmartJack Floor Supports in the basement and crawl space to support the floors that were sagging.  A SmartJack is a steel pier that is placed into a structural stone that has been compacted into the floor.  A steel Pier is cut to size and installed under the floor that needs to be supported.  An adjustable screw is turned to jack up the floor to the desired height. 

A homeowner in Blanchester had water seeping into several places in the basement.  The homeowner had a WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System to collect the water that seeps into the basement.  The water will be drained into the TripleSafeSump Pump System.  Also installed is the CleanSpacel Wall System.  CleanSpace is a plastic liner similar to a pool liner that is permanently attached with special drilled in fasteners.  CleanSpace Wall System covers the walls and will also direct any wall leaks down into the WaterGuard System.  

We received a call from a homeowner in Wilmington, Ohio who explained that their concrete driveway was cracking. Our inspectors went out to examine the property and learned that pressure from surrounding concrete slabs expanding in the heat had caused the slabs to buckle, crack, and become uneven. The production crew raised the slabs back to level with PolyLevel, sealed the cracks with NexusPro joint sealant, and topped the concrete with a coating of SealantPro. This will not only stabilize the slabs and raise property value, but it will also protect the concrete from future damage.
