Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Cleveland Heights, OH

Our Cleveland Heights house has a stone foundation from the 1920s. Can it be made dry?

Yes. Stone and early block basements are common in Cleveland Heights, and we treat them with interior drainage at the footing and a sump pump. A wall membrane can catch seepage through the stone before it reaches the floor.

I'm seeing water where an old coal chute used to be in my Cleveland Heights basement. Is that normal?

It's a common leak point in older homes. Those openings were often closed with brick or patching that has loosened over time. We seal the opening and make sure any water that still gets in goes to your drain system.

We live near one of the ravines in Cleveland Heights. Does that change how you waterproof?

It can. Lots near low ground often hold more groundwater in spring, so we pay close attention to the sump pit and pump size. We also look at grading and downspouts so surface water isn't adding to the problem.

My Cleveland Heights basement walls are painted and the paint keeps bubbling. What's going on?

Bubbling paint usually means moisture is moving through the wall from outside. The water pushes the paint off from behind. A drainage system and wall membrane handle the water itself, so the wall can dry out.

Our home in Cleveland Heights has a finished basement with a damp smell. Can you work around the finish?

Often, yes. We look first to see where the moisture comes from and how much wall we need to reach. Some finished areas need a section opened up at the base of the wall. We explain exactly what has to move before we start.

Can you fix a bowing wall in Cleveland Heights without tearing up my garden?

In most cases, yes. Carbon-fiber straps and the Richtech Stabilizer System work from inside the basement. Your beds, walkway and trees stay where they are.

Is a crack in my Cleveland Heights foundation something to worry about?

It depends on the width, direction and whether it's growing or leaking. Thin vertical cracks are often shrinkage, while step cracks and wide horizontal ones point to soil pressure. We'll look at it for free and tell you which kind you have.
