Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Project in East Liberty, OH Before Move-In

When a couple was preparing to purchase a new home, they noticed water intrusion around the basement and garage walkout area and knew it needed to be addressed before move-in. That’s when they reached out to Mid-State Basement Systems. Inspector Ryan, a member of our Real Estate Response Team, worked closely with the couple and their realtor to coordinate a free inspection and fast-track the project. Ryan recommended 140 feet of our WaterGuard interior drainage system to collect groundwater at the perimeter, a TrenchDrain at the walkout entry to stop surface water, and a SuperSump Plus system with a powerful Zoeller pump and airtight lid to keep the basement dry. Foreman Lane and his crew installed the entire system, making the home ready, dry, and protected.

TrenchDrain Installation at the Walkout

Our crew begins installing the TrenchDrain at the base of the walkout door. This system intercepts surface water before it can enter the basement.

WaterGuard System in Place

With the drainage trench cleared and leveled, our team installs 140 feet of WaterGuard to capture water at the footing and direct it to the sump pump.

WaterGuard Installation

The WaterGuard is places into the trench, and then backfilled with gravel.

Downspout Extension

We extended the existing downspouts away from the foundation using durable underground piping to prevent future water issues near the home. Our IceGuard system is also installed to keep the line from freezing when the colder months come.

Finished WaterGuard

The WaterGuard System after the concrete has been restored. Please not the new concrete will not match the existing original concrete. Our team will smooth the concrete out flush, but the color will most likely not blend perfectly.

Seamless Integration with the Basement Floor

Once the concrete is poured over the WaterGuard, it blends smoothly into the basement floor while remaining fully functional beneath the surface.
