Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Newburgh Heights, OH

Our Newburgh Heights house is about a hundred years old. Can a basement that old be made dry?

Yes. Older basements take more care, but they can be dried out. An interior drain and sump handle groundwater, and we choose sealing methods that suit brick, stone or early concrete walls.

My Newburgh Heights basement walls shed sand and mortar onto the floor. What's happening?

Water moving through old mortar slowly washes it out and leaves salts that break it down. The first step is controlling the water. Then we look at whether the wall needs repair or support.

The houses on my Newburgh Heights street are really close. Can my neighbor's roof water get into my basement?

It can. Downspouts that empty into a shared side yard can soak the soil against your wall. We'll check where the water goes and suggest extensions or drainage for your side.

We found an old cistern in our Newburgh Heights basement. Could it be causing water problems?

Old cisterns can hold water or channel it toward the house if they were never filled. We'll look at it during the inspection and explain whether it's part of the problem.

Is painting my Newburgh Heights basement walls enough to stop dampness?

Paint may hide it for a while, but water pressure behind the wall usually pushes it off. Drainage and sealing deal with the source. We'll explain what your walls need.

My Newburgh Heights porch floor is sloping away from the front door. Could it be settling?

Porches on older houses often sit on shallow footings that settle over time. We'll check whether the house itself is moving too. Push piers can support a porch that is sinking.

Can you install a sump pump in a Newburgh Heights basement with low ceilings?

Yes. Sump pits go into the floor, so ceiling height isn't usually a problem. We'll find a spot at a low point and route the discharge outside.
