Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Garfield Heights, OH

Water shows up along the bottom of our Garfield Heights basement wall after heavy rain. Where is it coming from?

That line is usually the cove joint, the seam where the wall sits on the footing. Saturated clay pushes water through it when the soil can't drain. An interior drain at the footing with a sump pump relieves that pressure.

My Garfield Heights bungalow has a block basement. Is block harder to keep dry than poured concrete?

Block has hollow cores and many mortar joints, so it can hold water and let it through in more places. That doesn't make it a lost cause. A wall membrane and an interior drain handle block basements well, and we do many of them.

I've noticed a horizontal crack in my Garfield Heights basement wall. Should I be worried?

A horizontal crack in block usually means soil pressure is pushing the wall inward. It's worth having it looked at soon. We'll measure the wall and tell you whether straps, the Richtech system or simple monitoring makes sense.

We live in Garfield Heights and the floor drain backs up during storms. Can you help with that?

Sometimes a floor drain that backs up is a sewer line issue, and sometimes it's groundwater with nowhere to go. We'll look at how the water is getting in and tell you which it is. If it's groundwater, drainage and a sump fix it.

Is it worth adding a dehumidifier to a basement in Garfield Heights?

If the space feels damp or smells musty even without puddles, a dehumidifier helps. It pulls out moisture that seeps through block and concrete. When water is actually coming in, it works alongside drainage and won't replace it.

Can Garfield Heights basement leaks be fixed without tearing up the driveway?

In most cases, yes. Interior drainage handles the groundwater from inside, so your driveway, walks and landscaping stay put. We only suggest exterior digging when a wall itself needs it.

We're selling our Garfield Heights house next year. Does the warranty help?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the next owner. Buyers often ask about basements in older homes, and paperwork showing a warrantied repair answers that question.
