Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Glenwillow, OH

We own one of the old company houses in Glenwillow. Can you work on a foundation that old?

Yes. Older stone and brick foundations leak through the mortar and can move over time. We check the walls, seal the worst joints and add drainage where needed. Any bracing is done from inside.

Our Glenwillow home is only a few years old but the basement's already damp. Is that normal?

New poured walls often get shrinkage cracks, and builder drains aren't always enough for wet clay. Some dampness in the first years is common, but water shouldn't come in. We'll find where it enters.

I live near Tinkers Creek in Glenwillow. Does being close to the creek mean more basement water?

It can. Ground near a creek often holds more water, especially after heavy rain. A drain along the footing and a sump with a battery backup keep that groundwater from reaching your floor.

My Glenwillow sump pump runs a lot in spring. Should I be worried?

Frequent running in spring is common when the ground is soaked. Still, a pump working hard wears out faster. We'll check the pump and float and may suggest a battery backup as insurance.

We'd like to finish the lower level of our Glenwillow house. What should we look at first?

Check for damp spots, cracks and musty smells after heavy rain. If there's any sign of water, fix it before framing. We'll inspect for free and tell you what the basement needs.

There's a crack in the poured wall of my Glenwillow basement. Is my new house settling?

Thin vertical cracks in new poured walls are common and often come from curing. They can still let water in. We seal them with injection and check whether any movement is going on.

If my Glenwillow basement floods in the middle of the night, can someone come out?

Yes. We have 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028. Stay clear of water near outlets and shut off power only if you can safely reach the panel.

The yard behind our Glenwillow home stays soggy after rain. Could that affect the basement?

A soggy yard means the soil isn't draining well, and that water can reach the foundation. We'll look at grading, downspouts and the basement walls, then suggest what will move the water away.
