Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Iron Ochre Effecting Basement in Northfield, OH

This homeowner was experiencing water in their basement and a weird reddish-brown substance in the water. Come to find out, their basement had iron ochre which was clogging the discharge lines and old sump pump. Iron ochre is a thick, slimy mud substance that occurs when iron and water mix with oxygen. Cleveland Basement Systems has no-clog systems and yearly maintenance plans to prevent iron ochre from causing basement flooding. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage channel that catches water from the walls and floor to drain into the sump pump. The TripleSafe is a powerful sump pump system that can handle large amounts of water. Here at Cleveland Basement Systems, we offer yearly services to jet out these systems and clean out debris like iron ochre.
