Mifflin is a small Ashland County village laid out in 1816, about a mile east of Charles Mill Lake. We waterproof basements and repair foundations here, with free estimates and our own crew.
Mifflin was laid out in 1816 under the name Petersburg and later renamed for settlers who came from Mifflin Township in Pennsylvania. It remains a small village in the middle of Mifflin Township, with houses along a few streets and farmland all around. Some homes date back a long way and stand on stone or brick foundations, while others are later ranches and newer houses.
Charles Mill Lake lies just west of the village. It was created in 1935 by damming the Black Fork of the Mohican River, and locals often call it Mifflin Lake. Land near a reservoir and its feeder streams can hold a lot of groundwater, and after long rains the soil around foundations stays wet.
Beneath the topsoil is glacial clay and till that drains slowly. Winter frost and spring thaw push that moisture against walls, and water finds cracks, old mortar, the cove joint and gaps around pipes. Cellars and crawl spaces in older homes add damp air, and a musty smell is often the first sign.
In a village this old, foundations show a lot of wear. Stone and brick walls lose mortar, block walls bow under wet clay and porches or additions on shallow footings settle away from the house. Newer poured walls crack as the soil swells and shrinks through the seasons.
We repair most foundations from inside. Carbon-fiber straps hold walls that have started to bow, the Richtech Stabilizer System braces walls that have moved further and can pull them back toward plumb, and steel push piers support settling sections. Injection seals cracks. Every plan comes in writing.
Interior drainage, wall membranes and footing drains that relieve water pressure and stop seepage at the source - keeping your Mifflin basement dry for good.

Exceptional basement waterproofing, highly recommend. I had an outstanding experience with All American Basement for my basement.
We had our cellar door stairs waterproofed, a drain in the basement and downlines for our gutters installed. The crew was great to work with.
Mike and Ken and the other workers, what can I say? They have gone above and beyond for us. This has been a very challenging job, and Mike the owner has been back several times to make it right.
Often, yes. Old stone cellars leak through the mortar and may have dirt floors. We can add drainage, a sump and a vapor barrier, depending on how the space is built and how you use it.
Land near a lake or stream can hold more groundwater, especially after long rains. That puts pressure on basement walls and floors. We'll check how water behaves around your home during a free inspection.
Clay soil soaks up water slowly, then holds it. After several days of rain it becomes saturated and pressure builds on the walls. That's when seepage starts. Drainage and a sump handle it.
Porches often sit on shallow footings that settle on their own. The tilt can pull on the house too. Steel push piers can support the footing, and we'll check it first.
Yes. We cover the soil and walls with a sealed vapor barrier and add a dehumidifier if needed. If water collects there, we deal with that first so the barrier stays dry.
Moisture is pushing through the wall from behind and lifting the paint. Paint alone can't stop it. We'll find where the water comes from and recommend a lasting fix.
It's common, but it's not something you have to live with. Old walls weren't built to keep water out. Drainage, a sump and humidity control can make an old basement much drier.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements, so call (330) 366-3028. Turn off power to the basement if water is near outlets or appliances.
