Solon homeowners trust All American Basement Waterproofing to stop leaks and dry out basements for good. Family-owned since 1985, A+ BBB. Free estimate and transferable lifetime warranty.
Solon sits on the heavy glacial clay that blankets much of Northeast Ohio, and that clay holds water like a sponge after rain and snowmelt. As it swells, it pushes groundwater against your foundation walls and floor, building the hydrostatic pressure that forces water inside.
Our freeze-thaw winters make things worse. Water in the soil and in small foundation cracks freezes, expands, and thaws over and over, slowly widening those openings each season until seepage appears.
In most Solon basements the water finds its way through the cove joint where the wall meets the floor, through hairline wall cracks, or through old tie-rod holes. We target those exact paths with interior drainage and a sump pump with battery backup so water is collected and pumped out before it reaches your floor.
Foundation problems in Solon often show up as bowing or leaning basement walls, stair-step cracks in block, and sticking doors or windows on the floors above. These are signs the clay soil is pushing hard against your foundation, and they only worsen if ignored.
We stabilize walls with the Richtech Stabilizer System and carbon-fiber straps, and seal cracks with epoxy or polyurethane injection. No full-yard excavation is needed, and the repair is backed by our transferable lifetime warranty.

Our block wall was starting to bow and we were nervous about the cost. All American walked us through the carbon-fiber fix, did it in a day, and the wall hasn't budged since. Straightforward and honest the whole way.
We had a musty smell and water stains every time it rained hard. They installed drainage and a dehumidifier, and now the basement actually feels like part of the house. Wish we'd called them years ago.
From the free estimate to the finished job, everything was on time and exactly what they quoted. The crew was respectful of our home and cleaned up completely. Five stars for a local company that still does things right.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
