A homeowner in West Union, Ohio reached out to us after dealing with water seepage through their block basement wall. During heavy rains, water would collect along the perimeter, making the basement damp and unusable. They wanted a permanent solution to keep the space dry.
Our crew installed 41 feet of WaterGuard along the interior perimeter of the problem wall. WaterGuard is a below-floor drainage channel designed to collect water seeping through block walls and direct it straight to the sump pump. To complete the system, we installed a SuperSump, providing reliable pumping power and peace of mind during storms.
With the new system in place, the homeowner now has a dry, protected basement that’s no longer vulnerable to water intrusion.
Our team was called to a home in West Union, Ohio, after a foundation wall had completely collapsed inward. The homeowner had noticed some minor signs of stress over the years but had no idea the wall was experiencing significant lateral movement behind the scenes. Unfortunately, the structural damage became severe.
Upon inspection, we found that the inward soil pressure had built up to the point of failure, causing the block foundation wall to cave in. Since the damage was beyond the scope of what our systems are designed to correct, we offered to temporarily stabilize the floor joists above the collapsed area. This would have helped prevent further damage and given a masonry contractor time to safely rebuild the wall. The homeowner ultimately decided to delay the temporary stabilization due to financial concerns and a desire to explore multiple repair options.
This inspection is a strong reminder of the importance of early foundation evaluations — especially if you notice stair-step cracking, bowing walls, or other subtle signs of lateral movement. Left unaddressed, these issues can lead to serious structural problems that are much more costly and complex to fix down the line.
If you’ve noticed even small signs of wall movement or cracking, it’s worth having it professionally assessed — for your home’s safety and your own peace of mind.
