Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing System in Hamilton, Ohio

This Hamilton, OH basement was transformed with a complete waterproofing system designed to keep it permanently dry. Our crew installed CleanSpace wall liners to seal off moisture and direct any water seepage into the drainage system below. Around the full perimeter, we installed our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system to collect groundwater and channel it efficiently to the sump pumps. To handle heavy rainfall and provide full redundancy, we installed two TripleSafe sump pump systems—each equipped with primary, secondary, and battery backup pumps for three layers of protection. From there, water is safely carried outside through dual discharge lines, each featuring IceGuard outlets to prevent winter backups and LawnScape outlets for discreet drainage. This comprehensive setup ensures that the homeowners never have to worry about basement flooding again. Scroll through the photos to see how our Hamilton waterproofing system works from start to finish.

We covered the walls with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. The foundation was poured, and the walls were sometimes wet to the touch during the humid months before we applied our vapor barrier. Now the basement feels and looks a whole lot cleaner.

Our WaterGuard subfloor drains sit beneath the floor. They were installed around the entire perimeter of the basement to make for a full proof system. These drains have little exposed wall flanges that allow us to tuck the vapor barrier behind them. This design allows us to effectively drain wall leaks down to the subfloor system. Once all the drains were pitched and fitted, we then covered them with gravel and a top layer of concrete to conceal them.

We installed a second sump pump due to the size of the basement. This TripleSafe was installed in the opposite corner of the other one.

We ran the discharge line down along their fence. We made sure to cut the sod in a way that allows us to save the turf.
