Basement Waterproofing System Installed in West Chester, OH

This basement in West Chester, OH, had a failing exterior waterproofing system. The footer drains that were placed in the soil when the home was first built had clogged in spots, and the sump pump was struggling to properly manage the water. As we see with a lot of exterior waterproofing systems, the footer drains do a poor job at keeping soil out of the system, and when the soil reaches the sump pump, the sump pump fails to run efficiently, causing the sump pump to run when it shouldn't and quickly deteriorate. Both of these problems allowed water to enter throughout the coves in the basement and up through the sump pump itself. We replaced their existing system with our patented interior system including our WaterGuard subfloor drains and our SuperSump sump pump. Our interior drains sit directly on top of the footing and are installed from the inside, ensuring soil and dirt stays out of the system. The homeowner was happy with the upgrade.
