Perry Heights is a busy residential community in Perry Township, full of bungalows and ranch homes on close-set lots. We waterproof their basements and repair their foundations with our own crew.
Perry Heights is a unincorporated census-designated place in Perry Township. It grew as farmland in the township turned into neighborhoods, and today it is one of the more densely built parts of the township. Streets are lined with bungalows, ranch houses and other modest homes, most with a full basement under them.
Close-set lots change how water moves. Roof runoff, driveways and a neighbor's downspout can all feed the same strip of ground between two houses. When that strip slopes toward your wall, rain soaks in beside the basement and never runs off, and the heavy clay common in Stark County holds it there for days.
Sippo Lake Park and Sippo Creek sit close by, and low spots around them stay wet longer in spring. Across Perry Heights, the freeze and thaw of a Northeast Ohio winter works on older concrete and block. Water finds the joint where the wall meets the floor, the cracks, and the gaps around pipes and window wells.
Bungalows and ranches often have block basements, and block walls handle downward weight well but give way to side pressure. Wet clay along a Perry Heights foundation pushes on those walls every spring. Over the years that can open stair-step cracks and bow the wall inward, and garages or back porches may settle apart from the house.
We handle most repairs from inside. Carbon-fiber straps lock walls that have started to bow. The Richtech Stabilizer System braces walls that have moved further and can be tightened to move them back toward plumb. Steel push piers carry settling sections, and injection seals cracks in poured walls.
Interior drainage, wall membranes and footing drains that relieve water pressure and stop seepage at the source - keeping your Perry Heights 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. Narrow side yards collect runoff from two roofs, and the water soaks in right beside the foundation. We'll look at grading and downspouts on your side. Drainage inside the basement catches what still gets through.
Water usually collects at the footing first, so the lowest block courses get wet before the rest. The hollow cores can fill and seep at the base. An interior drain along the footing sends that water to a sump.
It can, if your lot sits low. Ground near ponds and creeks tends to stay wet longer after heavy rain. We'll check how water moves on your property during a free estimate and explain what we find.
It's worth a look soon. Stair-step cracks in block often mean soil pressure is pushing the wall. We'll measure for bowing. If the wall is moving, straps or braces from inside can stop it.
Yes. We put vapor barriers over the soil and up the walls in crawl spaces and can add a dehumidifier. We'll also check how that area connects to the basement, since both often share the same water problem.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028 and we'll get moving. Stay clear of water near outlets and shut off power only if the panel is safe to reach.
Not every house needs one. It depends on your soil, your grading and whether water is getting in now. We'll tell you honestly after the inspection whether a sump makes sense for yours.
Check for dampness, seepage and humidity before framing. If the walls or floor are wet, fix that first so drywall and carpet stay dry. We'll tell you exactly what the space needs.
Yes, we offer financing options. We'll go over them at the free estimate. You'll have the written price before you decide, and there's never pressure to sign that day.
