From the historic homes near Hudson's town center to the larger newer houses around the city, All American keeps Hudson basements dry with 40 years of waterproofing and foundation repair. Free estimate, transferable lifetime warranty.
All American is a family-owned business based in Wadsworth, and Hudson has been part of our service area since we opened in 1985. Four decades in, our crews understand what this city's ground does to a basement.
Hudson sits on the heavy glacial clay common across Northeast Ohio, and clay holds water rather than draining it. After a long spring rain or a quick snowmelt, the saturated soil presses against your foundation with hydrostatic pressure and pushes moisture in through cove joints, hairline cracks and tie-rod holes.
Hudson blends stately older homes with plenty of newer construction, and both kinds face the same wet ground and the same freeze-thaw winters. A wet basement here does not require a major storm; steady saturation of the clay is usually enough to expose the weak spots in a wall.
Water is only part of the story in Hudson. The clay that traps moisture also swells and shrinks with the seasons, leaning on foundation walls until they bow inward, crack in stair-step lines or settle unevenly. Doors and windows that suddenly stick upstairs often signal the foundation is shifting.
We stabilize Hudson foundations without excavating the whole yard, using the Richtech Stabilizer System, carbon-fiber straps and epoxy or polyurethane crack injection suited to the wall. Every repair carries our transferable lifetime warranty, which stays with the home when it changes hands.
Interior drainage, wall membranes and footing drains that relieve water pressure and stop seepage at the source - keeping your Hudson basement dry for good.

When you call, you reach a local, family-run team that has worked Hudson foundations for decades. We give you a straight assessment and a clear price before we start, with no pressure.
Our block wall was starting to bow and we were nervous about the cost. All American walked us through the carbon-fiber fix, did it in a day, and the wall hasn't budged since. Straightforward and honest the whole way.
We had a musty smell and water stains every time it rained hard. They installed drainage and a dehumidifier, and now the basement actually feels like part of the house. Wish we'd called them years ago.
From the free estimate to the finished job, everything was on time and exactly what they quoted. The crew was respectful of our home and cleaned up completely. Five stars for a local company that still does things right.
Efflorescence is mineral salt deposited as moisture moves through and evaporates off your block walls. It confirms water is penetrating the foundation, common in Hudson basements under hydrostatic pressure from clay soil. We solve the moisture source with interior drainage instead of just cleaning the chalky residue away.
Yes. Interior waterproofing happens inside the basement, so we work year-round in Hudson regardless of snow or frozen ground. Winter is actually a smart time to fix the freeze-thaw leaks you notice most in cold months. We keep the work area clean and heated as needed.
Rain raises humidity and pushes moisture through the foundation, feeding mold and mildew that produce that musty odor. Hudson's clay soil holds water against basement walls long after storms. We eliminate the moisture source with interior drainage and dehumidification so the smell stops returning.
A single vertical crack is usually less alarming than horizontal or stair-step cracking, but it can still leak. In Hudson, freeze-thaw cycles widen these over time. We seal active vertical cracks with epoxy or polyurethane injection, which bonds the concrete and keeps water out for good.
