Reliable Solutions for Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Repair & Foundation Wall Repair in Akron, OH

A homeowner in Akron, OH called in stating that her basement was leaking water and felt humid. She was scheduled with a no-hassle estimate to get the problem looked at. 

The inspector advised three waterproofing products to make her leaky basement dry. First, he advised that WaterGuard be installed around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is a drainage channel that sits flush to the floor in order to catch all incoming water from the walls or floor. Then, he recommended IceGuard drainage pipes be installed on the sump pump in order to catch water from the exterior and correctly drain it into the sump pump, instead of pooling against the foundation. IceGuard will never clog, even in sub zero temperatures or in feet of snow. Lastly, CleanSpace wall covering was recommended for all walls of the basement. This thick, waterproof vapor barrier keeps moisture and mold away from the walls. It is tightly fastened to the wall and will never fall off, leaving your walls and basement permanently protected!
