Why Freedom homes need waterproofing

Freedom Township was settled in 1818 and organized in 1825, one of the last townships in Portage County to form. Its first settler was Charles Paine, and a railroad stop called Freedom Station once shipped goods from the township. Today Freedom is mostly quiet country, with farms, woodlots and homes on large lots. The Ohio National Guard training grounds fill its southeast corner.

This part of the county has sandstone-capped ridges with flat, poorly drained ground between them. Houses on the ridges shed water more easily, while homes on the flats sit in clay-rich glacial till that stays wet for long stretches. On those lower lots, spring rain and snowmelt can keep a basement surrounded by saturated soil for weeks.

Freedom homes come in every age, from old farmhouses to houses built in the last few decades. Older basements often have block or stone walls with drains that stopped working long ago. Newer poured basements can leak at tie-rod holes and shrinkage cracks. Crawl spaces under porches and additions add damp air and a musty smell.

Structural

Cracked and bowing foundations in Freedom

The clay under Freedom swells when it's wet and shrinks during dry spells, and frost heaves it every winter. Block walls respond by bowing and cracking along mortar lines. Poured walls crack vertically. Attached garages and porches, with shallower footings, can settle at a different rate than the house and pull away at the seams.

We do most repairs inside the basement. Carbon-fiber straps stop walls from bowing further. The Richtech Stabilizer System uses steel braces that can be tightened over time to move a wall back toward plumb. Steel push piers support settling sections, and epoxy or polyurethane injection seals cracks that leak.

We recently hired All American Basement Waterproofing to address some structural and moisture issues in our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Mike and his team installed carbon fiber straps on one of our basement walls.

Freedom Questions

Basement & foundation FAQs for Freedom homeowners

Our Freedom home sits on low, flat ground. Is that why the basement is always damp?

It's a big part of it. Flat, low ground in this area drains slowly, and clay soil holds water against the walls. An interior drain and a sump pit give that water a way out. We'll check your yard grading too.

My house in Freedom is up on a ridge. Can the basement still leak?

Yes. Higher ground drains better, but water can still collect at the footing from downspouts, poor grading or a clogged drain. We'll look at where water enters and why, then explain what will stop it.

We've got an older block basement in Freedom with white powder on the walls. Should we worry?

The white powder is efflorescence, left behind as water moves through the block and dries. It means moisture is getting in. It's a good time to find the source and deal with it before it gets worse.

The addition on our Freedom farmhouse has a musty crawl space. Can it be sealed?

Yes. A sealed vapor barrier over the dirt and up the walls keeps ground moisture out. A dehumidifier can control what's left. We'll also check for water pooling in there after storms.

I'm seeing a gap where the porch meets my Freedom house. What does that mean?

Porches usually sit on shallow footings that frost and clay move easily. A gap often means the porch is settling on its own. We'll check it and the main foundation, and push piers can support it if needed.

Can someone get to Freedom quickly if our basement floods at night?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028 and we'll get a crew moving. Stay away from water near outlets or appliances until the power is off.

Is basement work in Freedom done by your own people?

Yes. Every job is handled by our own employees from start to finish. The same company that gives you the estimate does the work and backs it with a written lifetime warranty.

We're selling our Freedom property. Will a repaired basement help?

It usually does. Buyers and inspectors look closely at basements. A completed repair with a transferable lifetime warranty gives them proof the problem was fixed properly.

Is financing available for Freedom homeowners who need foundation work?

Yes, we offer financing options. We'll walk through them at your free estimate, once you have the written plan and price. There's no pressure to decide that day.
