Fixing wet basements in Ohio: Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Lima + Ft Wayne IN + Lousiville & Lexington KY with proven patented waterproofing products!

The patented WaterGuard® waterproofing system has a design that separates it from the soil under your floor so it will never clog. It sits on the footer away from The Mud Zone, and outperforms old fashioned corrugated black drain hose and ceramic tile systems. The system intercepts water at the perimeter of your basement and drains it unseen safely away - guaranteed! The WaterGuard® System will keep your basement clean and dry so you can use the space for storage, recreational purposes, or to finish for additional living space.

If your primary sump pumps fails to work, the battery back up UltraSump will automatically start pumping when need. The UltraSump® is the top performer when it comes to keeping your basement dry. It easily outperforms other battery back up sump pumps offered in home improvement stores, and comes with a state-of-the art battery charging system to ensure the pump will work when called upon. If the primary sump pump fails to operate, the UltraSump® will run automatically.

The TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System has three pumps to give you complete protection. If your (1) first pump fails, the (2) second one takes over. Or if your first pump simply can't keep up, then it PLUS a more powerful second pump run at the same time - more than doubling capacity. And, if your power goes out, an (3) UltraSump® Battery back-up Pump takes over - and it's all automatic! If you want your basement dry all the time, you need the TripleSafe!

IceGuard

IceGuard is our amazing sump pump discharge line anti-freeze device. Great discharge line protection! Sump pump discharge lines can freeze, especially here in Ohio. Pipe terminations ending at the street often become covered with snow and ice in the winter.  This means disaster for your basement if the sump pump water cannot exit the line outside. Our patented and exclusive IceGuard sump pump discharge line system can save your basement contents and expensive repair bills!

The Basement Doctor's IceGuard system allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape! You can have peace of mind because your dry basement will not be dependent on the street being clear. IceGuard allows your sump pump to keep your basement dry during freezing conditions. When the frozen discharge pipe eventually thaws, the discharge water will automatically run along its normal route, and no water will escape from the IceGuard. Here's what many Ohio homeowners love: there are no valves to turn, hoses to attach, bungs to remove or anything for the homeowner to do at all - it's totally automatic!

A frozen discharge line won't flood a basement with IceGuard.
This photo shows a home that was saved by the IceGuard sump pump discharge anti-freeze device. Look how the sump pump's discharge water is allow to escape! The discharge line was covered by snow and ice and frozen solid, blocking water from escaping out of the pipe. However the IceGuard allowed the water to escape during repeated pump cycles. IceGuard saved this basement from getting flooded even in these extreme conditions!

The patented design of the IceGuard automatically allows water to escape through its perforations. This unique feature provides an exit when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow.

The most common plumbing leak is a water heater leak. The average life of a water heater is seven years, and when it fails, it usually leaks and floods the basement. FloodRing® will contain the water seepage and drain it to the waterproofing systems when the water heater leaks.

Washing machine hoses can flood your basement even if the washing machine is on the upper floors. FloodCheck® hoses are the solution. These hoses are made to withstand the 50 to 60 pounds per square inch of water pressure. FloodChek® hoses are guaranteed for 20 years. FloodChek® hoses are made to take the pressure, and will not blow-out, corrode, or rust at the end connections.

You should have your downspouts extended with The Basement Doctor's RainChute® to keep roof water away from the foundation. Dry basement tips: Keep the soil graded away from the house wherever possible, and keep the gutters clean. Keep window wells clear of leaves and debris too.
