Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Moreland Hills, OH

Our Moreland Hills lot slopes toward a ravine behind the house. Can that cause basement leaks?

It can. Water heading for the ravine often passes the foundation on the way, and the uphill side stays wet longest. We'll check the grading and see where the water should be redirected.

We've got an older block basement in our Moreland Hills home. Why does it leak at the bottom of the wall?

Water collects at the footing and comes in at the cove joint where wall meets floor. Old footing drains are often clogged by now. An interior drain and sump give that water a way out.

My Moreland Hills neighbor had a bowing wall fixed. How do I know if mine is bowing?

Look for a horizontal crack along block walls, stair-step cracks at the corners or a wall that bulges when you sight along it. We'll measure it during a free inspection.

The lower level of our Moreland Hills house smells damp after rain. Is that a leak?

It may be minor seepage or just high humidity. A smell after rain usually points to water getting in somewhere. We'll check the walls, floor and sump to find it.

Is it common for Moreland Hills garages to settle?

It happens, especially where garages sit on shallow footings or fill. Clay that swells and shrinks can move them. We'll tell you whether piers are needed.

I'm redoing the landscaping at our Moreland Hills house. What should I keep in mind for the basement?

Keep soil and mulch sloping away from the foundation and keep downspouts extended. Avoid beds that trap water against the wall. We're glad to look at the plan with you.

We'd like to finish the basement in our Moreland Hills home. Should we check for water first?

Yes. Look for dampness, stains and humidity before framing. If there's a problem, fix it first so the finished room stays dry and you don't tear out new drywall later.
