All American keeps Munroe Falls basements dry and foundations sound, from the older riverside homes to newer streets - 40 years of local experience, a short drive from our Wadsworth shop. Free estimate, transferable lifetime warranty.
All American is a family-owned company out of Wadsworth, and Munroe Falls has been part of our Summit County territory for four decades. We know what the local ground does to a basement after a heavy rain, and more importantly we know how to keep it out.
Munroe Falls sits near the Cuyahoga River, and its neighborhoods rest on the same heavy glacial clay that covers most of Northeast Ohio. That clay holds water rather than draining it, so when spring rain or snowmelt saturates the soil it presses against your foundation - hydrostatic pressure - and finds its way in through cove joints, tie-rod holes and cracks.
Add our freeze-thaw winters and the problem compounds. Water in the soil freezes and expands, then thaws, working slowly on the foundation until small openings become steady leaks. That is why homes in Munroe Falls that stayed dry for years can start letting water in seemingly overnight.
Moisture is only part of it. The clay around Munroe Falls foundations swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that constant push and pull can bow or crack a wall over time. Stair-step cracks in the block, a wall leaning inward, or doors and windows that suddenly stick upstairs all point to movement that needs attention.
We fix these problems without excavating your entire yard. Carbon-fiber straps can lock a bowing wall in place, the Richtech Stabilizer System handles heavier movement, and epoxy or polyurethane injection seals cracks tight. All of it comes with our transferable lifetime warranty.
Interior drainage, wall membranes and footing drains that relieve water pressure and stop seepage at the source - keeping your Munroe Falls basement dry for good.

It all begins with a free, no-pressure inspection. We find where the water really comes from, explain what we see in plain language, and hand you a clear written estimate.
They're local and it shows - on time, honest, and they explained every option without any pressure. Our foundation crack was fixed and sealed, and the lifetime warranty gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend this family-owned company.
Called about water coming in after a downpour. They came out fast, found the real problem, and had it fixed within the week. No upsell, no nonsense - just quality work. This is how a contractor should operate.
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.
Water coming up through the floor or the cove joint means the water table under your slab has risen above it and is pushing in. In Munroe Falls, proximity to the Cuyahoga River and low-lying areas keeps groundwater high after rain and snowmelt. Interior drainage below the slab intercepts that water and sends it to a sump pump.
Cost depends on how much wall needs interior drainage, whether you need a sump pump or battery backup, and any foundation repair involved. Every Munroe Falls basement is different, so we give a firm price after a free on-site inspection. Financing is available to spread the investment over time.
Very likely. Homes near the Cuyahoga River and low spots in Munroe Falls sit over groundwater that rises after storms and spring melt, pressing moisture up through the slab and cove joint. A below-slab drainage system paired with a sump pump manages that water table and keeps the basement dry.
A musty smell means moisture is getting in and feeding mold and mildew, often through the cove joint or a damp slab. With Munroe Falls' high water table, that humidity lingers year-round. Stopping the water at its source with interior drainage and a sump pump, not just running a dehumidifier, clears the smell for good.
If you rely on a sump pump, yes. Munroe Falls' high groundwater means the pump runs often, and Northeast Ohio storms that raise the water table are the same storms that knock out power. A battery backup keeps the pump working when you need it most and prevents a flooded basement.
