A builder-grade sump that quits, a poured wall with a fresh crack or a yard that drains the wrong way: we fix Reminderville basements and foundations with a free estimate and a transferable lifetime warranty.
Reminderville is a Summit County village where much of the housing is relatively recent, with many subdivision homes built from the 1990s onward. Most have poured concrete basements, and plenty of owners assume a newer house means a dry one. In practice, a new foundation sits in the same wet clay as an old one, and builder-grade drainage and pumps are often the first things to struggle.
Construction itself creates water paths. When a basement is dug, the soil put back around it is looser than the undisturbed clay beyond. That backfill settles for years after the house is built, often leaving a shallow trench along the foundation that funnels rain toward the wall. Lot grading that looked right at closing can slowly tilt the wrong way.
The ground here is fairly level, and clay drains slowly, so water lingers after storms and snowmelt. Poured walls resist leaks well but still have weak spots: tie holes left from the forms, shrinkage cracks, the cold joint where the wall meets the floor and pipe penetrations. Window wells that fill up are another frequent source.
Even young foundations can move. Clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons, plus frost heave, can crack poured walls and, over time, push them inward. Uneven backfill settling can also leave a footing or a porch slab without firm support. Watch for cracks that widen, walls that lean, and gaps near steps or the garage.
We stabilize walls from inside with carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech Stabilizer System, which can also straighten walls gradually without digging. Settled sections go onto steel push piers driven to firmer soil, and leaking cracks are filled with epoxy or polyurethane injection. The work carries our transferable lifetime warranty.

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.
I had an absolute exceptional experience. They come in and do exactly what they say they were going to do, they were neat and cleaned up behind themselves. Any questions that I had, they answered.
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.
Newer homes sit in the same wet clay as older ones, and builder-grade drainage can fall short. Settling backfill and shifting grading also send water toward the walls. We'll find the source and fix it.
Yes. Backfill settles over time and can leave a trench that collects rain against the wall. Regrading so soil slopes away from the house helps keep water off the foundation.
Builder-grade pumps are often basic and may wear out sooner in wet basements. We can install a stronger pump and a battery backup so you're protected during storms and outages.
Those are likely tie holes left from the concrete forms. They can let water through when the soil is saturated. We can seal them and add drainage if water enters elsewhere too.
Many vertical cracks in poured walls come from shrinkage and aren't structural. If it leaks, widens or shifts, it needs attention. Leaking cracks can be sealed with injection.
Yes. Watch the basement through a wet season and fix any leaks before framing. Adding drainage, a wall membrane or a dehumidifier first protects the finished space and everything in it.
It can, especially where clay pressure and frost are strong. Carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech system can hold the wall. We'll measure it and tell you what's needed.
