Limaville is a small, long-settled community in the north end of Lexington Township, close to the Mahoning River. We help its homeowners with wet basements, damp crawl spaces and tired foundations.
Limaville was laid out in 1830 and was long counted as the oldest incorporated village in Stark County. Today it is a census-designated place with only a small cluster of homes, surrounded by farmland and rural lots. Many houses here are older village homes and farmhouses, and some have been added onto more than once over the years.
The Mahoning River runs through Lexington Township, and Berlin Lake and Deer Creek Reservoir are close by. Land near rivers and reservoirs often has groundwater sitting close to the surface in wet months. When the water table rises, it presses up under the floor and against the walls, even on days when it isn't raining.
This part of northern Stark County was shaped by glaciers, which left a blanket of clay-rich till mixed with sand and gravel. The clay drains slowly and holds water beside a foundation, while sandy pockets can carry water quickly toward the house. Old rubble foundations and dirt-floored crawl spaces let that moisture straight into the living space.
A farmhouse that has stood for generations has usually settled into its place, but additions and porches built later sit on their own footings. Freeze and thaw, and soil that swings from soaked to dry, can move those parts separately. That shows up as cracked walls, sloping floors and gaps at the joints between sections.
We brace bowing walls from inside with carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech Stabilizer System, whose steel braces can be tightened to bring a wall back toward plumb. Steel push piers support a sinking corner or addition. Cracks in poured concrete are sealed with epoxy or polyurethane injection.
Interior drainage, wall membranes and footing drains that relieve water pressure and stop seepage at the source - keeping your Limaville 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 lay a heavy vapor barrier over the soil and up the walls, and a dehumidifier can keep the air in check. We'll also look for standing water or wood damage while we're under there.
It can. Low ground near rivers and reservoirs often has groundwater close to the surface in spring. That water pushes up through the floor and at the wall base. A drain and sump system relieves it.
Yes. Rubble and fieldstone walls leak at many joints, so we catch the water at the base with an interior drain and sump. Loose sections can be repointed. We'll look at it for free first.
We do. Our crew travels from Wadsworth to Limaville for every estimate and every job. Distance doesn't change our process, our pricing approach or the lifetime warranty that comes with the work.
Groundwater keeps feeding the pit after the storm is over, especially where the water table sits high. That's normal to a point. We'll check the pump size, the float and the discharge line to make sure it can keep up.
It could be settling under the porch or the back wall of the house. Later additions often sit on shallower footings. We'll measure and tell you if push piers or another repair is needed.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028 and we'll get a plan moving. Shut off power to the basement if water is close to outlets.
Moisture can come through the walls and floor as vapor without ever pooling. Old stone or block walls are common sources. We'll check humidity and the walls and suggest a fix that suits the house.
Yes, we offer financing options. We'll go over them at the free estimate, along with a written price. There's no pressure to decide while we're there.
