Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Chagrin Falls, OH

Our Chagrin Falls house has a fieldstone basement. Can it be kept dry?

Yes. Fieldstone basements need a different approach than block, but interior drainage at the base of the wall and a sump pump work well. We may also use a wall membrane to guide seepage down to the drain.

We live on a hill in Chagrin Falls and the uphill wall always leaks. Why?

Water moves downhill through the soil and collects against the first wall it meets. That wall carries the most pressure. Drainage inside and grading or a French drain outside can help.

We're in a historic Chagrin Falls home. Is it harder to waterproof?

It takes more care, but it's very doable. Old stone and brick foundations need methods that suit the material. Most of our work stays inside, so the outside of the house doesn't change.

My Chagrin Falls basement floor is thin old concrete. Can you still install drainage?

Yes. We cut a channel along the walls, put in the drain pipe and pour new concrete over it. If the floor is in rough shape, we'll tell you and include that in your written plan.

I'm near the Chagrin River in Chagrin Falls. Is a sump pump a must?

For homes near the river with groundwater coming in, a sump pump is usually a key part of the fix. It gives water a way out. We'll check how much water comes in and size the pump for it.

Our Chagrin Falls stone wall is bulging inward. Can it be saved?

Often, yes, depending on how far it has moved and its condition. Some walls can be braced from inside. We'll inspect it and explain the options clearly.

We've got an old addition on our Chagrin Falls house that's sinking. What can be done?

Steel push piers can support the addition by carrying its weight down to firm soil. That can stop the sinking and sometimes raise it toward level. We'll look first to confirm the cause.

Can someone come fast if our Chagrin Falls basement floods overnight?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028 and we'll talk you through what to do while a crew gets on the way.
