Basement waterproofing in Powell

Big basements, high stakes

Many Powell homes were built in the last few decades with full basements finished as living space, often with a walkout on a sloping lot. When water gets in, it lands on carpet, drywall and furniture. The repairs we do there are about protecting an expensive room as much as stopping water.

What goes wrong

• A sump that fails during a storm or a power cut, with no backup
• Shrinkage cracks in poured walls hidden behind finished walls
• Grade at a walkout patio sending water to the door
• Window wells filling during heavy rain

Our priorities on a Powell job

Battery backup on every sump, crack injection done from inside with as little drywall removal as possible, and a look at the patio and wells around a walkout. For homes being finished now, we suggest checking the walls and sump before the drywall goes up. See sump pumps and crack injection.

Powell is in Delaware County, and permits there go through the county or city office that covers your address.

A question we hear in Powell

Do I need a battery backup? If the basement is finished and the sump runs in storms, we strongly suggest it.
