The wall in this basement had developed a substantial horizontal crack, caused by bowing over time. Fortunately, because the top and bottom sections of the wall remain stable, our PowerBrace system can be employed to correct the problem. PowerBraces, specially designed to spread the wall’s weight across the basement floor and ceiling joists, prevent further damage to these areas. These braces are straightforward to install, typically taking just one day, and can gradually restore the wall to its original position. Additionally, their flexible design allows them to be fitted around obstacles, such as a fuse box.

This home in Troy, Ohio had a basement that was in pretty bad shape on two adjacent walls. The walls were bowing in and were leaking water. To fix this, we had a pretty big project on our hands. We did our usual WaterGuard set up connected to one of our SuperPumps, which of course had a discharge line to the outside. We also installed PowerBraces to the walls to make sure they keep from bowing in. We then placed BrightWall on the walls to make the basement look clean and to cover up the dirty walls that were stained. The result is a great looking and healthy basement.

This big basement was having waterproofing issues. You can see the evidence of it from the stained walls and floors in the before picture. It also smelled musty and the floor would sometimes collect pools of water. We fixed these issues with our interior perimeter waterproofing system. First, we dug trenches around the interior perimeter of the basement, then we drilled weeping holes into the foundation walls to relieve the hydrostatic pressure. We then placed gravel into the trenches, then our patented WaterGuard drains into the gravel. We grade the drains at an ever so slight angle towards the sump and seal them together to make sure the water drains smoothly. We then cover the trenches with fresh concrete to hide the drains. We then installed our TripleSafe sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery back up. Lastly, we installed BrightWall panels to help drain moisture that seeps through the concrete. The walls also look bright and clean as the name implies.

This basement in Troy, Ohio was having issues with pooling water. We installed a below-the-floor WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor in order to collect water and drain it to the sump. This drainage system was designed to sit underneath the basement floor without clogging in the surrounding soils. This system works well to collect and drain water from the basement, working together with other products to keep the basement dry and clean.
A homeowner in Troy, Ohio was having problems with water seeping into the basement in several places. The home was built in the 50s, has a finished basement, and there was no sump pump installed at the time. The homeowner met with Donny, a certified inspector, who recommended that WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System, a TrenchDrain, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and CleanSpace Wall System is installed to resolve the water problems that the homeowner was experiencing in the basement.
Waterguard Basement Waterproofing system is a non-clogging piping system that is designed to intercept water that seeps into the basement unseen by the homeowner. The water is then drained into a sump pump system to be removed from the basement. The TrenchDrain is a piping system also but has a grated top to allow water to flow into. It is commonly used across doorways and hatches.
The TripleSafe Sump Pump System is a three pump system. Pump 1, the primary pump, will do the majority of the pumping. Pump 2, is a 1/2 hp high volume pump and will turn on if pump 1 fails or becomes overwhelmed with a heavy water volume. Pump 2 will turn on to give it a "turbo boost" when it is needed. Pump 3 is the UltraSump Battery Back-up System. Pump 3 will automatically turn on during a power failure to remove water from the basement. It comes with its own battery and charging station.
The CleanSpace Wall System is our most economical wall covering. CleanSpace Wall System is a bright white plastic liner, similar to a pool liner, that is designed to cover the walls and will also drain wall leaks down into the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System. CleanSpace Wall System reflects the natural light in the basement and helps to brighten up the basement.
WaterGuard working with these other systems will provide the homeowner with a dry basement that they can use for extra living space and storage without worrying about water intrusion.
