Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Brooklyn Heights, OH

Our Brooklyn Heights house backs up to the wooded valley. Does that slope affect the basement?

It can. Water in the soil moves downhill, and the uphill wall of a basement often takes the most pressure. We'll look at how the ground falls around your house and where water is getting in.

My Brooklyn Heights basement has old stone walls in one section. Can those be waterproofed?

Yes. Stone foundations let water through the joints between stones. We usually control it with an interior drain at the base of the wall and a membrane that directs seepage down to the drain and sump.

We live in Brooklyn Heights near the river side of the village. Is river flooding something you fix?

Surface flooding from a river is a different problem than groundwater seepage. We handle water that comes through walls and floors, and we install sump pumps with battery backup. We'll tell you honestly what our systems can and can't do.

The garage on our Brooklyn Heights property is pulling away from the house. What causes that?

Garages often sit on shallower footings and can settle or slide on their own, especially on sloped lots. We'll check the gap and the footing. Push piers or other support may be needed.

I've noticed a musty smell in my Brooklyn Heights home that gets worse in summer. Where's it from?

Summer air holds a lot of moisture, and a cool basement lets it condense on walls and floors. A dehumidifier helps, and sealing any seepage keeps the space drier. We'll find the source during a free visit.

Could an old greenhouse water line on my Brooklyn Heights lot be feeding my basement?

Old buried lines and drains from past uses can carry water toward a house. We can't see underground, but we can trace where the water enters your basement and suggest what to check outside.

We're a Brooklyn Heights family with a sump that runs constantly in spring. Is that normal?

On clay near a slope, a sump can run a lot while the ground is saturated. What matters is that it keeps up and has a backup. We'll check the pump size, the float and the discharge line.
