Gloria Glens Park is a small lake village in Medina County, founded in 1924 as a cottage colony. We waterproof basements and crawl spaces and repair foundations here, with free estimates and our own crew.
Gloria Glens Park was set up in 1924 to house visitors to the old amusement park on the lake, and many of its homes began as small bungalow-style summer cottages. Over the decades most were winterized and converted to year-round living. Those conversions often left the original shallow foundations, crawl spaces or small basements in place under a house that is now used every day.
The village covers only a small area, and lots are close together near the water. Homes near a lake sit on ground with a high water table, so the soil around foundations stays wet much of the year. Neighboring roofs, driveways and yards all shed water, and on tight lots it can be hard to move runoff away from a house.
Winter frost and spring thaw push that lakeside moisture against walls and footings. Water seeps through cracks, block joints and the gap where the wall meets the floor. Crawl spaces under converted cottages often have bare soil, which fills the house with damp air, musty smells and the kind of humidity that invites mold.
Cottage foundations were often built light, with shallow footings, block piers or short block walls. After a century of seasonal wetting and freezing, we see settling corners, tilted porches and block walls that have shifted. Later additions on different footings can pull away from the original cottage.
Most repairs happen from inside or under the house. Carbon-fiber straps and the Richtech Stabilizer System hold and straighten walls that have moved, and steel push piers reach firm soil below soft lakeside ground to support settling sections. Injection seals cracks. You get every plan in writing.
Interior drainage, wall membranes and footing drains that relieve water pressure and stop seepage at the source - keeping your Gloria Glens Park basement dry for good.

Mike and Ken and the other workers, what can I say? They have gone above and beyond for us. This has been a very challenging job, and Mike the owner has been back several times to make it right.
Positive experience from start to finish. Scheduled the estimate within days and got us right on the calendar for the repair. Ken was great to work with and answered my numerous questions with patience. The crew arrived on time.
Brian was the lead on the job, him and his crew were absolutely astounding. They worked extremely hard and I commend them for their professionalism and their knowledge.
Yes. We'll handle any standing water first, then seal the soil and walls with a vapor barrier. A dehumidifier keeps the air in check. Converted cottages often see a big change in comfort and smell.
Not always, but a high water table raises the risk. An interior drain and sump pump can manage that groundwater. We'll look at how water behaves around your home during a free inspection.
Cottages often sit on shallow footings that settle in soft, wet ground. Steel push piers can be driven to firm soil to support the corner and may lift it toward level. We'll check it first.
Usually, yes. Interior drainage works from inside, so tight lots aren't a barrier. We'll also look at downspouts and grading in the space you have and suggest simple changes.
Often it can. We check the piers and the soil under them, then recommend support that fits. Settling sections can get steel push piers, and we'll explain the plan in writing.
Most often from a damp crawl space or basement. Summer humidity and lakeside moisture add up. A vapor barrier and a dehumidifier usually solve it, and we'll check for any water getting in.
Yes. Storms that knock out power are when a lakeside basement needs its pump most. A battery backup keeps it running until power returns, so water keeps moving out.
We can. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements, so call (330) 366-3028. Turn off power to the basement if water is near outlets or appliances.
Yes. We'll go over financing at your free estimate. You'll see the written price before deciding, and there's no pressure to sign on the spot.
