Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Richville, OH

Our Richville farmhouse has a fieldstone foundation. Can it be kept dry?

Yes, in most cases. Stone foundations leak through the joints, so we usually add an interior drain and sump to catch water at the base. We'll also check whether any section of the wall is moving.

I'm in a newer Richville house with a poured basement. Why would it leak already?

Poured walls often develop shrinkage cracks as they cure, and tie-rod holes can seep. Wet clay against the wall pushes water through those spots. Injection seals them, and a drain handles any water at the floor.

The addition on our Richville home sits over a crawl space that smells musty. What helps?

Bare soil in a crawl space releases a lot of moisture. A vapor barrier over the ground and up the walls cuts it down, and a dehumidifier can control the air. We'll check for standing water too.

My Richville yard slopes gently toward the back of the house. Is that enough to cause water problems?

Even a gentle slope toward the house can send rain to the foundation. Clay soil then holds it against the wall. We'll check grading and downspouts, and suggest drainage inside if water is already getting in.

We've got a bulge in the old brick basement wall of our Richville home. Can that be repaired?

Often, yes. We'll check how far the wall has moved and what's pushing it. Depending on the wall, bracing from inside and drainage to relieve water pressure are common parts of the plan.

Can someone reach Richville quickly if our basement is flooding?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028 any time. Keep away from water near outlets, and shut off power only if the panel is dry and safe to reach.

My Richville basement has a mix of block and poured sections. Does that cause trouble?

It can. Where two kinds of wall meet, the joint often cracks and leaks. The sections can also move differently. We'll inspect the joint and plan drainage and repairs for both parts.

We'd like a dry Richville basement before we store our things down there. Where do we start?

Start with a free inspection to find where water or humidity is coming from. Then we'll give you a written plan. Once the basement stays dry, storage and finishing are much safer.

Is there financing for waterproofing an older Richville home?

Yes, we offer financing options on larger projects. We'll explain them at the free estimate. You'll have the written price in hand first, and there's no pressure to decide right away.
