Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Guilford, IN

This basement in Guilford, IN, was failing the owner of the home. The walls had begun to deflect inwards, and the basement had started to leak worse than it ever had before. To fix the basement, we installed our PowerBrace wall repair system and our WaterGuard waterproofing system. Our bracing system stabilized the deflected walls by spreading the load evenly across the structure, reducing pressure at the point of failure and halting any further movement. Our waterproofing system protected the foundation by capturing and redirecting water away from the interior, relieving hydrostatic pressure and keeping the space dry moving forward. If you want to see the two systems in action, be sure to scroll through the photos below.

This horizontal crack you see in the upper part of this wall shows where the point of deflection was occuring. This line signifies where the frost line in the soil was, right outside the basement. The frost line is commonly where the most pressure occurs, as when the soil freezes, it expands. This photo also displays prolonged moisture damage.

This photo shows how our WaterGuard drainage system works with our PowerBrace beam system. Our drains sit just below the floor slab, and they are able to wrap around the base of the bracing system with a little love and care. Our team also drilled weep holes in the wall, (hidden from the photo) to invite water into the system.

After fitting the basement with our braces and our drains, we then concealed the base of the braces and the top of the drainage system with a layer of concrete.

Our PowerBraces have special top brackets to connect to any type of floor joist system. These brackets help evenly distribute the load of the braces across the ceiling, helping prevent any type of damage.
