Hunting Valley is a village of estates, farm acreage and large homes along the Chagrin River. We protect their basements and foundations with free estimates, our own crew and a transferable lifetime warranty.
Hunting Valley took shape in the early 1900s, when city industrialists bought farmland along the Chagrin River for country estates and working farms. It became a village in 1924, carved from the northeast part of the old Orange Township, and a small strip on its eastern edge lies in Geauga County. After 1940 some of the largest holdings were split into estate lots, and zoning still calls for about five acres per home.
That means big houses spread across open land, with long drives, barns, pool houses and guest quarters. Many main houses have large basements with mechanical rooms, wine storage or finished living space. Older estate homes from the early 1900s sit beside homes built in the last few decades, so foundation types and ages vary widely from one property to the next.
The land rolls down toward the Chagrin River through woods, meadows and steep slopes. Rain gathers in swales and low fields and moves slowly through heavy soil. A house sited on a rise can still take runoff from the hill above it, and a house near the valley floor can sit in wet ground after every storm.
Large homes are heavy, and many have wings, terraces and attached garages on separate footings. When wet clay swells or dry clay shrinks, those parts can move at different rates. Long basement walls also have more room to bow under steady soil pressure from a slope.
We repair from inside to protect the grounds. Carbon-fiber straps stop early bowing, and the Richtech Stabilizer System braces walls that have moved further and can be tightened toward plumb. Steel push piers support settling wings or terraces. Cracks get epoxy or polyurethane injection. You get the plan in writing.
Interior drainage, wall membranes and footing drains that relieve water pressure and stop seepage at the source - keeping your Hunting Valley basement dry for good.

We had our cellar door stairs waterproofed, a drain in the basement and downlines for our gutters installed. The crew was great to work with.
Mike and Ken and the other workers, what can I say? They have gone above and beyond for us. This has been a very challenging job, and Mike the owner has been back several times to make it right.
Positive experience from start to finish. Scheduled the estimate within days and got us right on the calendar for the repair. Ken was great to work with and answered my numerous questions with patience. The crew arrived on time.
Yes. We find where the water is coming in and plan drainage for those walls. If the whole basement is at risk, we'll explain that too. You decide how far to go.
Keep water out first with drainage and sealing, then control humidity. We'll check the walls and floor around the room and suggest what keeps it dry and steady.
Yes. We can look at outbuildings with basements, crawl spaces or slabs during the same visit. You'll get a written plan for each building you want covered.
Water from higher ground can flow toward the house and soak the soil against the uphill wall. Downspouts and patios can add to it. We'll trace the flow during the inspection.
A strong sump pump with a battery backup is the core. Some owners add a high-water alarm that alerts them. We'll set up a system that runs without anyone home.
It can send water to the foundation and may point to settling below. We'll check the slope and the footing. Piers or grading changes may be needed.
Start by finding the moisture source. Seepage, high humidity and poor air movement all feed mold. We'll inspect and fix the water side so any cleanup lasts.
Yes. Most of our work is done inside the basement. When we need outside access, we plan the route and protect lawns and beds. We clean up daily.
Yes, we offer financing options. We'll review them with you at the free estimate. The written price comes first so you can plan the project without guessing.
