Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in University Heights, OH

Our University Heights house is close to the neighbor's. Can their downspouts flood our basement?

They can add to it. On narrow lots, roof water from one house can drain toward the next foundation. We look at grading and downspouts on your side and suggest what will move water away from your walls.

I just bought a brick colonial in University Heights and the basement smells damp. Where do I start?

Start with an inspection. A damp smell usually means moisture is moving through the walls or floor, or humidity is high. We'll find the source and tell you if you need drainage, a dehumidifier or both.

We're renting out our University Heights home to students. Is waterproofing worth doing on a rental?

It often is, because a wet basement means damaged belongings and repeat repair calls. Drainage and a sump pump cut down on that. The lifetime warranty also transfers if you sell the property.

My University Heights driveway slopes toward the garage and basement. Is that why it leaks?

It could be a big part of it. A driveway that pitches toward the house sends water straight to the foundation. We'll check the slope and the drainage and explain what will help.

Can you fix a leaning wall in a University Heights basement without digging up the side yard?

Usually, yes. Carbon-fiber straps and the Richtech Stabilizer System go on from inside. That matters on tight lots where there's little room to dig. Your fence and plantings stay put.

There's a crack by the basement window in my University Heights home. Should I seal it myself?

You can patch it, but patches often fail if the crack is still moving or taking water. Injection fills the crack all the way through. We'll check whether it's moving before recommending a fix.

Our front steps in University Heights are pulling away from the house. Is that a foundation problem?

Often the steps are settling on their own footing. Sometimes it points to movement in the foundation wall too. We'll look at both and explain what's moving.
