Local Expertise

Why New Franklin homes need waterproofing

New Franklin was Franklin Township for most of its history, settled in 1817. It became a village in 1997 and a city in 2006, but it still covers a wide area in southwestern Summit County. Part of it is suburban, part of it is still rural, and a long stretch borders the southern lakes of the Portage Lakes chain.

That spread shows up in the houses. Near Turkeyfoot Lake and Nimisila Reservoir you find old cottages that were winterized or rebuilt and newer lake homes on small lots. Away from the water there are older country houses and homes on larger lots set back from the road. Each setting brings its own water and foundation issues.

Lake neighborhoods deal with groundwater that sits high in spring. Rural lots deal with long runs of open ground that send snowmelt and storm water toward the house, and with ditches and swales that may not carry water away as well as they once did. Glacial soils vary here, so one property can drain well while the next holds water for days.

Structural

Cracked and bowing foundations in New Franklin

Older rural homes in New Franklin often sit on stone or early block foundations, and lake cottages were built on shallow footings. Both carry more weight today than they were meant to, after additions, second floors and attached garages. Wet soil near the lakes and heavy clay in some fields add stress, and walls bow or corners settle.

We handle most repairs from inside. Carbon-fiber straps stop early bowing in block walls. The Richtech Stabilizer System braces walls that have moved more and can bring them back toward plumb. Steel push piers support settling corners and additions, and injection seals poured wall cracks. Every plan comes in writing.

  • Bowing & leaning foundation walls straightened
  • Stair-step & settlement cracks sealed for good
  • Sticking doors & windows from foundation movement

We recently hired All American Basement Waterproofing to address some structural and moisture issues in our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Mike and his team installed carbon fiber straps on one of our basement walls.

New Franklin Questions

Basement & foundation FAQs for New Franklin homeowners

We live on a rural stretch of New Franklin with a big yard. Why does water still reach our basement?

Open ground can send a lot of water toward a house, especially if the yard slopes that way or a swale has filled in. Clay soil then holds it at the walls. Grading and a drain to a sump fix most of it.

My New Franklin lake house was rebuilt on an old cottage foundation. Is that a problem?

Not always, but it's worth checking. Old footings may not have been built for a bigger house. We'll look for cracks, settling and water, then tell you whether support or drainage is needed.

Our older New Franklin country house has a stone basement. Can it be kept dry?

Yes, in most cases. We check the stone and mortar, then install a drain along the footing to a sump. A membrane on the walls guides seepage into the drain so the basement stays usable.

I've noticed the ditch along our New Franklin road stays full after rain. Could that affect the basement?

It can, if water backs up into your yard or keeps the ground around the house soaked. We'll look at how water leaves your lot and whether it's reaching the foundation. Then we'll suggest what to change.

Near Nimisila Reservoir in New Franklin, is a battery backup sump pump worth having?

Yes. Homes close to the water often have a pit that fills for days after storms. If the power goes out, the pump stops and water rises fast. A battery backup keeps it running.

The attached garage on our New Franklin house is settling. Can it be lifted?

Often it can. Garages usually sit on shallower footings that settle on their own. Steel push piers driven to firm soil can support the garage and may bring it back toward level.

We're buying a home in New Franklin. Can you check the basement before we close?

Yes. We'll inspect it for free and write down what we see, including cracks, water signs and settling. That helps you decide with real information. If we repair it, the lifetime warranty transfers.

If our New Franklin basement floods on a weekend, will anyone come?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements, weekends included. Call (330) 366-3028. Keep away from water near outlets until the power is off.

I'd like to finance a foundation repair on my New Franklin home. Is that possible?

We offer financing options and go over them during your free estimate. You'll see the written price first. You won't be pushed to sign that day.
