Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Columbus, OH

A wet basement is the last thing anyone wants. For this homeowner using their basement for storage, it meant wet and ruined belongings. So they called Mid-State Basement Systems for a solution. Inspector Phil Matthews suggested the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and an UltraSump sump pump. In addition to the water in the basement, one foundation wall needed support. We installed CarbonArmor strips along that wall.

Foundation Wall Crack

This foundation wall had a large crack and was in need of repair.

WaterGuard Drain and CarbonArmor Strips

The WaterGuard system is installed inside the basement along the perimeter to effectively capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the sump pump. CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. The ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.

The UltraSump comes with a back-up battery to ensure your sump pump keeps working even if the power goes out.

WaterGuard Installation

To install the WaterGuard interior drainage system, we dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the basement and install the drain.

WaterGuard Drain to Sump Pump

Here you can see where the WaterGuard interior drain reaches the sump pump. This way, any water that gets into your basement is collected and directed straight to the sump pump so you never see a drop of it.
