Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Ashland County, OH

We are rural Ashland County with a long lane. Can your equipment get back to the house?

In almost every case, yes. Most of our Ashland County work is interior, so what has to reach the house is a crew and hand equipment, so heavy machinery is rarely a factor. If exterior work is needed we look at access during the free inspection and tell you up front.

Our Ashland County farmhouse basement has a sump pit that was dug by hand years ago. Is it still usable?

Sometimes the pit stays and sometimes it has to be reset, because a hand dug pit is often too shallow and has no liner, so silt keeps killing the pump. We look at depth and inflow first. Reusing a sound pit saves you money and we will say so when it is possible.

Does the Mohican area soil hold water differently than the rest of Ashland County?

Down toward Loudonville and the Mohican valley you get more sand and gravel over shale, so water moves fast and arrives at the foundation quickly after rain. Up on the flatter northern side it is heavier clay that holds. The fix follows the soil, which is why we inspect every home before we quote it.

We only use our Ashland County place seasonally. Does an unoccupied basement still need a system?

It needs one more, because nobody is there to notice a failed pump until the damage is done. For seasonal homes we put in battery backup and, when the owner wants it, a water alarm. That way a February storm does not become a spring surprise.

Is waterproofing worth it on an older Ashland County house we plan to sell?

Usually yes, because a dry basement with a transferable warranty removes the single biggest thing a buyer's inspector will flag. Buyers discount a wet basement by far more than the repair costs. The warranty moving to the new owner is part of what makes it pay.
