 This page provides insights into why our specially designed interior drainage system is the best choice for maintaining a dry basement and ensuring the safety of your home. 

Ohio Basement Authority and The Basement Guys have now merged.

What is AquaStop BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage? 

Our experienced team at Ohio Basement Authority understands how frustrating it can be for systems like footing drains and floor drains to fail, resulting in a wet basement. 

That’s why we provide a high-quality alternative. AquaStop BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage is a state-of-the-art drainage system installed along the interior perimeter of your basement. This system efficiently redirects water that trickles down the walls or seeps through wall-floor joints to your sump pump for removal. 

The installation is executed in the sub-floor, strategically placed above the footing and away from the “mud zone,” guaranteeing an anti-clog design. A 3/8” wall flange ensures any water leaking from the walls moves downward into the BasementGutter™ system. 

This drainage system isn’t just a stand-alone solution; it forms an essential part of a comprehensive whole-home waterproofing strategy, offering you peace of mind and a healthier living space. 

Signs You Need Interior Drainage

These problems can start small and quickly escalate, resulting in serious damage. When you notice these symptoms, contact a local professional basement waterproofing company like Ohio Basement Authority immediately. 

Addressing these issues early can save you from extensive damage and costly repairs. 

Is Interior Drainage Necessary? 

The answer is a resounding yes. Failure to install an effective interior drainage system can lead to many problems, including structural damage and increased repair costs. Acting sooner rather than later is crucial.  

We do not recommend DIY repairs or quick fixes, as they are temporary bandages that can be expensive and complicated. It’s best to leave basement waterproofing to experienced professionals, like our team at Ohio Basement Authority. 

Incorporating AquaStop BasementGutter™ into our comprehensive whole-home solution assures the safety and longevity of your property.
