Basement Waterproofing in Solon, OH

why is my basement leaking every time it rains in Solon?

Rain saturates the clay soil around your Solon home, and that water builds pressure against the foundation until it seeps through the cove joint or cracks. An interior drainage system with a sump pump collects it and pumps it out. Call (330) 366-3028 for a free estimate.

how much does basement waterproofing cost in Solon?

Cost depends on how much wall you are protecting, the drainage system needed, and whether a sump pump with battery backup is added. Every Solon basement is different, so we give a free on-site estimate with a firm price before any work starts.

is a horizontal crack in my foundation wall serious?

Yes, a horizontal crack is more serious than a vertical one because it usually means the wall is being pushed in by soil pressure. In Solon's clay, this can lead to bowing. We stabilize walls with the Richtech system and carbon-fiber straps without digging up your yard.

can you fix a bowing basement wall at my Solon home without digging up the yard?

Yes. We reinforce bowing or leaning walls from the inside using the Richtech Stabilizer System and carbon-fiber straps, so there is no full-yard excavation. It is a cleaner, less disruptive fix for Solon homes, and it comes with our transferable lifetime warranty.

why does my Solon basement smell musty and damp?

A musty smell almost always means moisture is getting in, often through the walls or cove joint, feeding mildew and mold. Solon's damp clay soil keeps humidity high. Waterproofing the source and adding drainage removes the moisture so the smell clears up for good.

does a basement waterproofing warranty transfer if I sell my Solon home?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is transferable, so it passes to the next owner when you sell your Solon house. That is a real selling point, and buyers appreciate knowing the basement is protected. We provide the paperwork to make the transfer simple.
