Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Highland Hills, OH

Our Highland Hills townhouse shares a wall with the neighbor. Can you waterproof just our side?

Yes. We can install drainage and a sump along your part of the foundation. We'll also let you know if water seems to be coming from the shared side, since that may affect the result.

My Highland Hills split-level has a damp crawl space under one section. What helps?

A vapor barrier over the soil and up the walls blocks ground moisture. If water pools there after rain, a small drain and sump may be needed. A dehumidifier can control the air.

We've noticed water at the bottom of the stairs in our Highland Hills lower level. Where's it from?

In split-levels, water often enters where the lower level meets the slab or crawl space. It can also come from a window well or a downspout nearby. We'll trace it during a free visit.

Is clay soil the reason my Highland Hills basement leaks every spring?

Clay is a big part of it. It holds snowmelt and rain against the walls for weeks and swells as it soaks up water. That pressure pushes water through any gap. Drainage and a sump relieve it.

I'm seeing a crack in the garage floor of our Highland Hills ranch. Should I worry?

Many slab cracks are just shrinkage. If one side has dropped or the crack keeps widening, the ground below may be settling. We'll check it and tell you whether any repair is needed.

Can you look at our Highland Hills basement on short notice if it floods?

Yes. We have 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028. Stay away from water near outlets and shut off power only if it's safe to do so.

We want to finish our Highland Hills basement as a family room. What comes first?

Make sure it's dry. Check for damp spots, cracks and musty smells, especially after a heavy rain. We'll inspect it and handle any water problems before you frame and hang drywall.

Our Highland Hills window wells fill with water after storms. Is that why the basement leaks?

It often is. A window well that collects water acts like a small pool against the wall. Clearing the drain at the bottom, adding a cover or fixing the grading around it usually helps.

We'd rather pay over time for basement repair in Highland Hills. Is that an option?
