Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in East Cleveland, OH

I just bought an East Cleveland house that sat empty for years. Where do I start with the basement?

Start with a full look at the walls, floor, drains and sump. Empty houses often have dead pumps, clogged gutters and hidden moisture. We'll inspect it for free and give you a written list of what needs fixing first.

Our East Cleveland home sits at the bottom of the hill. Does that explain the wet basement?

It can. Houses below the escarpment catch runoff from higher ground, and the flat lake plain below drains slowly. Drainage at the footing and a sump give that water a way out of the basement.

We have a double in East Cleveland with one shared basement. Can you waterproof the whole thing?

Yes. We treat the foundation as one system, since water doesn't stop at a property line inside the basement. We'll lay out a plan for the full perimeter and one or more sump pits as needed.

My East Cleveland brick foundation wall is leaning in a little. Can it be saved?

Often, yes. We measure how far it has moved and check the mortar. Carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech Stabilizer System can brace it from inside, and badly worn joints can be repointed.

I'm seeing mold on the basement walls of my East Cleveland rental. Is it a water problem?

Mold needs moisture, so something is feeding it. It may be seepage, humidity or a plumbing leak. We'll find the source and fix the water side. Mold cleanup itself is a separate step.

Our East Cleveland ranch up near Forest Hill's got a crack in the poured wall. Is that serious?

Many poured wall cracks are shrinkage cracks that mainly let water in. We seal those with epoxy or polyurethane injection. If the crack is wide or growing, we check for movement and add support.

If my East Cleveland basement floods, can you come out right away?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028. Keep clear of standing water near outlets and shut off power only if it's safe to reach the panel.

The front porch on our East Cleveland home is sinking. Who fixes that?

We do. Porches on older homes often sit on shallow footings or piers and settle over time. We'll check whether steel push piers or other repairs make sense and give you a written quote.

We'd like to spread out the cost of basement work in East Cleveland. Is that possible?

Yes, we offer financing options. We go over them at the free estimate after you have the written price. You can take your time, and nobody will push you to sign on the spot.
