Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in West Union, Ohio

This basement in West Union, OH, leaked nearly every time it rained. Also, some of the block walls had started to bow inwards as a result of hydrostatic pressure built up outside the foundation. We waterproofed the basement with our interior drainage system, our sump pump, and our vapor barrier walls. We then stabilized the foundation by bracing all the walls with our steel PowerBraces. The result was a completely transformed basement that the homeowner no longer considers a liability.
