The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati Case Studies: Waterproofing a Crawlspace Resolves Water in a Finished Basement in Liberty Township, OH

Friday, October 5th, 2018 by Elaine Davis

Challenge

A homeowner in Liberty Township called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati to help find a solution to a problem with water seeping in on the floor of her finished basement. The water was seeping into the basement from the crawlspace area of the home. There was also a crack in the foundation wall. An appointment was scheduled with a certified inspector.

Solution

The appointment was scheduled with Roger, a certified inspector, to find a solution to this problem. Roger found that the water was seeping in from the crawlspace and recommended A SmartSump system, CleanSpace Encapsulation System, CleanSpace vent covers, and EverLast Door and a SaniDry Sedona. There was also a crack in the foundation, which he recommended a FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System. With these products in place, the homeowner will now have a beautiful crawlspace area that is safe from water, insects, and mold. The crawlspace will no longer cause problems in the finished basement and is now a bright white, usable space.

This crawlspace is unprotected from the ground below the home.

CleanSpace is installed providing a beautiful, protective barrier between your home and the ground. It is protected from moisture, insects, and mold.

SmartSump pump is designed for crawlspaces and will sound an alarm if water from a plumbing leak is detected. Schedule an appointment with a certified inspector for more details.

The SaniDry Sedona is a dehumidifier used to keep the humidity low in the crawlspace.

FlexiSpan Crack repair system has three lines of defense. The first is a bead of sealant, followed by a foam drain strip and is covered by a sealant overlay. See a certified inspector for full details on how this may work for your foundation cracks.
