Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Chatham, OH

Our Chatham farmhouse has a small cellar under the oldest section. Can it be kept dry?

Usually, yes. Old cellars leak through stone or brick and often have dirt floors. We can add drainage, a sump and a sealed vapor barrier, depending on what the space needs and how it's used.

The well line comes into my Chatham basement and the wall is always wet there. Why?

The opening around a well line is a common leak point, especially if the original seal has dried out. We seal around it with injection. We'll also check the rest of the wall for other entry spots.

I've got a long, flat yard in Chatham and water sits near the house after storms. What helps?

Water that can't run off soaks in beside the foundation. Regrading or a swale can steer it away, and extending downspouts helps too. If water still reaches the basement, interior drainage handles it.

We're buying an older home in Chatham Township. What should we check in the basement?

Look for water stains, white crust on the walls, cracks and any bowing. A musty smell is a clue too. We offer free inspections and put what we find in writing so you can plan.

Can a Chatham crawl space under a newer addition cause mold?

It can if the soil is bare and damp. Moisture rises and feeds mold on wood framing. A sealed vapor barrier and a dehumidifier keep the crawl space dry and the air in the house fresher.

My Chatham garage is cracking away from the house. Is that a foundation issue?

It could be. Garages often have shallower footings and settle on their own. We'll inspect it for free and tell you if piers, sealing or nothing at all is needed.

Our Chatham basement flooded when the pump failed. Can you help right away?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements, so call (330) 366-3028. Afterward we can look at a new pump with a battery backup so it doesn't happen again.

Is it worth fixing a damp Chatham basement if we only use it for storage?

Yes. Damp basements rust tools, ruin boxes and send musty air through the house. Moisture also wears on the foundation over time. Even a basic fix can make a big difference.

Yes, financing options are available. We'll explain them during the free estimate, with the full price in writing before anything is decided. There's no pressure to sign on the spot.
