From the historic homes around Public Square to the newer subdivisions off Route 18, All American keeps Medina basements dry - 40 years of waterproofing and foundation repair, just 15 minutes up the road from our Wadsworth shop. Free estimate, transferable lifetime warranty.
All American is headquartered in Wadsworth, about 15 minutes south of Medina's Public Square, so this town has been home turf for our crews for four decades. We know exactly what the ground here does to a basement - and how to stop it for good.
Medina sits on heavy glacial clay till that holds water and drains slowly. After a hard spring rain or a fast snowmelt across the West Branch Rocky River watershed, that saturated clay presses against your foundation walls - a force called hydrostatic pressure - and finds its way in through cove joints, tie-rod holes and hairline cracks. It doesn't take a flood; it takes one wet week.
The century-old homes around Uptown Medina were built on stone and block-and-mortar foundations that mortar erosion eventually catches up with, while the newer subdivisions off Route 18 and Fenn Road sit on poured concrete that cracks as it cures and settles. Different homes, same result - water where you don't want it. We diagnose the real cause and fix it at the source, then back it for life.
Water is only half the story. The same clay that traps moisture also swells and shrinks with the seasons, pushing on foundation walls until they bow, lean or crack. If you're seeing stair-step cracks in the block, a wall that's leaning inward, or doors and windows upstairs that suddenly stick, that's structural - and it won't fix itself.
We stabilize Medina foundations permanently with the Richtech Stabilizer System, carbon-fiber straps, and epoxy/polyurethane crack injection - no tearing up your whole yard, and backed by the same transferable lifetime warranty.

Exceptional basement waterproofing, highly recommend. I had an outstanding experience with All American Basement for my basement.
We had our cellar door stairs waterproofed, a drain in the basement and downlines for our gutters installed. The crew was great to work with.
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.
Yes. Many homes around Uptown Medina and Public Square sit on old stone or block-and-mortar foundations, and we work on them all the time. We add modern interior drainage and seal the walls without rebuilding the foundation, then back it with a transferable lifetime warranty.
It depends on the cause and how much wall needs interior drainage, whether a sump pump is required, and any foundation repair, so there is no flat rate. Every Medina basement is different. Our on-site estimate is free and in writing, with financing available.
That musty smell almost always means moisture is still getting in and starting to feed mold or mildew, even without a visible puddle. In Medina's clay soil, humidity wicks through the block year-round. Stopping the water at its source with interior drainage and humidity control clears the smell for good.
For most Medina homes, interior drainage is the more practical, affordable fix because it relieves the water pressure and routes it to a sump pump without excavating your yard. Exterior work has its place but is costlier and more disruptive. We recommend what actually solves your problem after a free inspection.
