FreezeGuard™

Your basement can flood any time of year, but winter is particularly concerning. Your sump pump requires unobstructed lines for effective water removal. If those lines freeze, your home could face serious issues. 

Freezing is a common issue homeowners in Ohio and Northern Kentucky face, but it doesn’t have to ruin your basement. 

Ohio Basement Authority’s AquaStop™ FreezeGuard™ is a winter-proof attachment that provides peace of mind that your basement stays dry. This is just one piece of a complete basement waterproofing solution. 

This page gives you a comprehensive understanding of the AquaStop™ FreezeGuard™, its benefits, and why you need one to weather cold winter months. 

This specialized attachment is a beneficial piece of equipment, especially if your basement experiences the following problems during winter months: 

• Flooding or water in your basement 
• Regular accumulation of ice around the foundation or discharge area 
• Noticeable strain or noise from the sump pump 
• History of frozen discharge lines 
• Wet basement walls 
• Musty basement odors 
• Basement mold growth 
• Efflorescence on basement walls or floors 

Regardless of how it enters, basement moisture is a significant problem that leads to damaging effects. It impacts your family’s health and your home’s structural integrity and requires immediate attention. When you notice these issues in your basement, contact Ohio Basement Authority right away for a free inspection and repair estimate.

An anti-freeze discharge line attachment like the AquaStop™ FreezeGuard™ is necessary for homes prone to frozen discharge lines. 

Without it, you risk repetitive basement flooding each winter, which causes mold, mildew, structural damage, and ruined possessions.
