Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing and PowerBrace Installation in South Columbus, OH

A homeowner in the South of Columbus reached out to Mid-State Basement Systems with concerns about a leaning foundation wall that was leaking water into the basement. We dispatched our Sales Inspector, Charlie L., to the home for a thorough inspection. After discussing his findings with the homeowner, Charlie recommended PowerBrace steel beams to stabilize the leaning wall and waterproofing with our WaterGuard french drain system. The homeowner agreed to the repairs and a date for the work to be completed was arranged. That day, the crew arrived and completed the installation the same day. They installed the WaterGuard and PowerBrace systems, ensuring the foundation wall is stabilized and the basement is protected from leaks and floods.

Before the Crew Gets Started
