Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Brimfield, OH

I heard Brimfield was once called Swamptown. Does that explain my wet basement?

It can. Much of the township sits on low ground that drained poorly before it was built on. That water still moves through the soil today, and basements dug into it collect it. We'll show you where it's coming in.

Our Brimfield subdivision was built on an old farm field. Could old drain tile affect us?

Yes. Farm fields were often laid with clay tile to drain them. When houses were built, some of those lines were broken or left pointing toward foundations. We look for signs of that during the inspection.

My Brimfield farmhouse has a stone cellar that seeps. Can it be kept dry?

Usually, yes. Stone cellars let water through the joints, so we focus on catching it and moving it out. An interior drain to a sump pump works well, and we'll check the walls for loose stone too.

We're buying an older home in Brimfield Township. What should we look for in the basement?

Look for white mineral lines on walls, rust on the furnace base, a musty smell and fresh paint in one spot. Those can hide water problems. We can do a free inspection before you close.

Why does my Brimfield sump pump still run days after the rain stops?

Clay soil and a high water table release water slowly. The ground keeps feeding the pit long after the storm. We'll make sure your pump, float and discharge line can handle that steady flow.

Our Brimfield ranch has a crawl space that smells musty. What's the fix?

Bare soil in a crawl space gives off moisture all year. A heavy vapor barrier over the ground and up the walls cuts that off. A dehumidifier helps if humidity stays high.

Can you tell if a crack in my Brimfield basement wall is serious?

Yes. We check the direction, width and whether the wall is moving. A thin vertical crack may only need sealing, while a stair-step crack in block can mean pressure from outside. You'll get a written answer.

I lost power during a storm in Brimfield and the basement flooded. How do I stop that?

A battery backup sump pump keeps running when the power goes out. We install it beside your main pump so either one can move the water. That covers the storms that knock out power.
