Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Bedford, OH

Our Bedford house has an old stone foundation that weeps in spring. Can it be waterproofed?

Yes. Stone basements can't be sealed with coatings, but water can be managed. An interior drain at the base of the wall collects the seepage and sends it to a sump, and a membrane keeps the living side dry.

We live on a hill in Bedford and only the back wall leaks. Why just that one?

Water running downhill collects against the uphill side of the house first. That wall carries more water and pressure than the others. Drainage along that wall, plus grading or a French drain outside, usually solves it.

I'm near Tinkers Creek in Bedford. Does that raise my risk of basement water?

Homes near a creek or on low ground often sit where groundwater runs higher, especially in spring. That doesn't mean your basement has to leak. A perimeter drain and a reliable sump with battery backup handle high groundwater well.

There's an old coal chute in my Bedford basement that lets water in. What's the fix?

Old chutes and window openings are common leak points in older homes. We can seal the opening properly and tie that area into the interior drainage. We'll look at it during the free estimate.

The mortar in my Bedford basement walls is turning to sand. Is that a problem?

Soft old mortar slowly washes out as water passes through the wall. That lets in more water and can weaken the wall over time. We'll check for bowing and tell you whether drainage, bracing or both are needed.

Can a Bedford basement be made dry enough to finish?

In most cases, yes. Once drainage, a wall membrane and a dehumidifier are in and working through a wet season, finishing is much safer. We'll tell you what has to happen first.
