Wilmot is a tiny village in Sugar Creek Township, in the southwest corner of Stark County at the edge of Amish Country. We waterproof basements and repair foundations for its homes and nearby farms.
Wilmot was laid out in 1836 under the name Milton and later took the name of David Wilmot, a Pennsylvania congressman. It is still a very small village, a few blocks of homes surrounded by farmland. Visitors know it as a gateway to Amish Country, and year-round residents live in a mix of older village houses and farmhouses.
The village's age shows in its basements. Houses near the center may have stone or brick foundations built long before footing drains were common. Farmhouses outside the village often have cellars that were dug for storage, never for living space. Later homes usually have block or poured walls. Each type takes on water in its own way.
Wilmot sits in rolling farm country, with fields, woods and the wetlands of The Wilderness Center just northwest of the village. Clay soils hold rain and snowmelt, and low spots stay soggy well into spring. When that ground stays saturated, water presses into cellars through stone joints, cracks and the gap where the wall meets the floor.
Old stone foundations lose mortar as water works through them, and sections can loosen or lean. Block walls in later Wilmot homes can bow under swelling clay. Porches, summer kitchens, garages and additions built onto older houses often rest on shallow footings and settle apart from the main structure.
We fix nearly all of this from inside. Carbon-fiber straps hold block walls with early bowing. The Richtech Stabilizer System braces walls that have moved more and can be tightened to bring them back toward plumb. Steel push piers support 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 Wilmot 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.
Usually, yes. Cellars like that were built without drainage, so we add an interior drain and a sump to carry water out. A membrane and dehumidifier help with damp walls. We'll check the stone for movement first.
Yes. We serve homes in the village and on the farms around it. Our own crew drives out from Wadsworth for every estimate and job, and the estimate is free.
Older additions like that often sit on shallow footings or none at all. We'll check how far it has dropped and whether the main house is moving. Steel push piers can support it and may lift it back toward level.
Low ground and clay soil stay wet a long time in spring, so it's common. That doesn't mean you have to live with it. Interior drainage and a sump pump keep the basement dry while the ground outside dries out.
We route the discharge line downhill and well away from the house, the well and any septic field. We'll walk your property with you and agree on the spot before installing.
Bare soil in a crawl space gives off moisture that rises into the house. A vapor barrier over the ground and walls cuts it down, and a dehumidifier helps control the air. We'll look for standing water too.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements, including rural homes. Call (330) 366-3028. Stay away from water near outlets, and cut power only if the panel is safe to reach.
It can, if the ground slopes toward the house. Roof water from nearby buildings adds to what your own gutters carry. We'll check grading and runoff paths during the estimate and explain what will help.
Yes, we offer financing options. We'll explain them at the free estimate. You'll have the written price before deciding, and there's no pressure to sign that day.
