Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing Company in Moores Hill, Indiana

A homeowner in Moores Hill, Indiana, had leaking, bowing basement walls from hydrostatic pressure, and called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for a solution. Certified Inspector Walt recommended the PowerBrace System, WaterGuard Waterproofing, TripleSafe Sump Pump, BrightWall Panels, and a SaniDry Sedona to fix the issues. The PowerBrace System stabilizes and can gradually straighten the wall over time. WaterGuard captures seepage and directs it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which includes three pumps for maximum protection, even during power outages. BrightWall Panels cover and channel wall leaks while giving the basement a cleaner look. The SaniDry Sedona reduces humidity, preventing mold and musty odors. Together, these solutions keep the basement dry, stable, and comfortable.

Humidity Levels

It's no secret that frogs and other animals love cool, humid basements. Look at the legs on this fella!

Old Leaking Basement

This is what the basement looked like before the work was done. Pooling water and bowing walls are no fun to deal with.

Bowing Block Wall

Block walls that bow in will often have a long horizontal crack near the frost line. This is because of all the hydrostatic pressure from expanding ice in the soil.

TripleSafe Sump Pump System

All three pumps of the TripleSafe System fit into this figure 8 shaped liner so it doesn't take up much space. One of the pumps is powered by a battery backup, so the pump will still discharge water even if it loses power.

The PowerBraces System

Here you can see the PowerBraces are secured tightly against the walls and attached by brackets to the floor and floor joists. They go over the BrightWall panels, and may even be able to straighten out the walls over time.

WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System

The WaterGuard subfloor drains have been installed into the floor and only a small wall flange is exposed.

BrightWall Paneling System

The BrightWall Paneling System covers the walls, does not allow water to permeate into the basement, and will drain the wall leaks down into the WaterGuard. The bright white color really brightens up the basement.

Project Update From 2024

We first finished this project in 2019. Since then, we have returned back multiple times to this basement for annual service. During each service visit we made sure to clean the pumps, test the system, tighten the PowerBraces, etc...
