In West Liberty, Ohio, a homeowner faced recurring issues of water infiltration into their basement following heavy rainfall. The homeowner expressed growing concern over the substantial volume of water seeping through the walls. With no existing drainage system in place, there was a rising worry about elevated humidity levels and the potential for mold growth. In response, they conducted an online search for reputable basement waterproofing companies and decided to reach out to Mid State Basement Systems.

Our dedicated Sales Inspector promptly conducted a thorough assessment of the basement to identify an effective solution for the water infiltration problem. During the inspection, several points were identified where water was penetrating through the basement walls. To address this issue, it was recommended that a floor drainage system be installed along the basement's perimeter. This system would serve to collect and channel the water to a strategically placed sump pump. The sump pump, in turn, would facilitate the removal of the water from the building through a designated discharge line.

Subsequently, our capable Foreman and his team executed the installation of the WaterGuard floor drainage system and the TripleSafe sump pump, providing a comprehensive and efficient basement waterproofing solution. The combination of these components ensures that water is effectively guided along the entire perimeter of the basement, ultimately reaching the sump pump, which promptly removes it, thereby safeguarding the basement from water infiltration issues.

Crawl space vents, rather than being a beneficial component for maintaining a dry and usable crawl space, actually have a counterproductive effect. They have consistently demonstrated their ineffectiveness, originally designed to utilize external air to dehumidify crawl spaces, but they tend to exacerbate issues when the outdoor air is humid, damp, or excessively cold.

In preparation for the impending fall and winter seasons, homeowners in West Liberty, OH took the proactive step of ensuring their home's protection.
