From the established neighborhoods to the newer developments around Stow, All American has kept local basements dry for 40 years of waterproofing and foundation repair, a short drive from our Wadsworth shop. Free estimate, transferable lifetime warranty.
All American is a family-owned company based in Wadsworth, and Stow has been part of our service area since we opened our doors in 1985. Decades in, our crews know this city's ground and how it treats a foundation.
Like the rest of this part of Summit County, Stow sits on dense glacial clay that traps water rather than draining it. After spring rains or a quick winter thaw, the saturated soil presses on your foundation walls with hydrostatic pressure and drives moisture in through cove joints, cracks and tie-rod holes.
The freeze-and-thaw cycles that define Northeast Ohio winters only add to the strain, working on the same weak points season after season. In Stow, a wet basement is rarely about one big storm; it is the steady soaking of clay soil finding its way through every gap in the wall.
Water is only part of what that clay does in Stow. As it swells and shrinks with the weather, it leans on foundation walls until they bow inward, develop stair-step cracks, or settle unevenly. If your upstairs doors and windows have started sticking for no clear reason, the foundation may be shifting underneath them.
We stabilize Stow foundations without digging up the whole yard, relying on the Richtech Stabilizer System, carbon-fiber straps and epoxy or polyurethane crack injection based on what the wall calls for. Every repair carries our transferable lifetime warranty, good even after you sell the home.

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.
After years of a wet basement every spring, All American installed an interior drainage system and a sump pump with battery backup. We've had heavy storms since and the floor has stayed bone dry. Professional crew, fair price, and they cleaned up every day.
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.
Even newer Stow homes get wet basements because backfilled soil settles and glacial clay still exerts hydrostatic pressure against the foundation. New construction does not make a basement waterproof. We install interior drainage and a sump pump to keep your recently built Stow basement dry for the long haul.
Minor hairline slab cracks are usually cosmetic, but wider or shifting cracks with water seeping through can signal pressure or settlement below. In Stow, clay soil movement drives this. We inspect to tell the difference and, when water is coming through, address it with proper drainage.
For most Stow homes, interior drainage is more effective and far less invasive than exterior excavation. It manages water where it enters and pairs with a sump pump, without destroying your landscaping. We assess your foundation and recommend the approach that actually fits your situation and budget.
Yes, and you should waterproof first. Our interior drainage and sump systems keep the space dry so your Stow remodel, drywall, and flooring are protected from moisture damage. Finishing over an untreated wet basement is a costly mistake we help homeowners avoid.
