Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Mantua Corners, OH

Our Mantua Corners house sits below the level of State Route 44. Is that why the basement floods?

It's a likely cause. Water runs off the road and shoulder toward lower ground, and your lot catches it. A swale or regrading can steer it past. An interior drain and sump handle what still reaches the walls.

The roadside ditch in front of our Mantua Corners home fills up fast. Can it affect the foundation?

It can when it overflows and water spreads into the yard. The soil near your house then stays soaked. We'll look at how water moves from the ditch toward your foundation and suggest fixes.

My Mantua Corners ranch has a block basement with damp walls. What's causing it?

Block walls have hollow cores that fill with groundwater and weep through the face. Wet clay outside keeps them supplied. An interior drain that also drains the cores usually solves it.

We've got a crawl space under part of our Mantua Corners home. Should it be sealed?

If it has bare soil or feels damp, yes. A heavy vapor barrier over the ground and walls keeps moisture out of the house. We'll also check for standing water and add drainage if it's needed.

Does heavy traffic at Mantua Corners crack house foundations?

Traffic vibration is rarely the main cause. Most cracks come from soil movement, water pressure and frost. We'll look at your cracks and explain what's really behind them.

My sump pump in Mantua Corners runs for days after snowmelt. Is it wearing out?

Steady running after a thaw is common here, since wet clay releases water slowly. The concern is whether the pump can keep up and what happens if it fails. A battery backup adds protection.
