Leaking Foundation in Cincinnati, OH
Poured foundations are usually better at keeping water out, but just like block walls, they too can succumb to the effects of hydrostatic pressure, especially when exterior drains start to clog.
Foundation Waterproofing in Cincinnati, OH
As you can see, we covered the walls with our white CleanSpace vapor barrier. This vapor barrier is made of inorganic material, and is 20 mils thick. This thickness is similar to a pool liner, making the product very sturdy. The vapor barrier was tucked into the drains beneath the floor, which will help channel moisture down into the subfloor system.

Waterproofing Process in Cincinnati, OH
Homeowners like our waterproofing system for its invasiveness. All that we require of homeowners is to move all objects six feet from the perimeter of the basement to the middle of the floor. If not able to, we can do it for a small fee. We then cover the objects with a tarp to prevent dust from getting on them when we jackhammer the perimeter of the floor open to make room for our french drains.
