Twinsburg Heights mixes newer homes with older houses on narrow lots laid out in the 1920s. We handle wet basements, damp crawl spaces and foundation cracks with free estimates and our own crew.
Twinsburg Heights is a census-designated community in Twinsburg Township. It began in the 1920s, when Charles H. Brady laid out homesites for African American families who wanted to own land of their own. The original plan divided the land into forty-foot lots along a handful of streets west of Hadden Road, between Darrow and Highland roads.
The first houses were small, and many had no basement at all. Water lines and paved streets came late, and a revitalization effort in the 1980s brought utilities and new homes that replaced many of the originals. So today the neighborhood holds a mix: a few older homes over crawl spaces or short foundations, and newer homes with full basements or slabs.
Narrow lots put houses close together, and that affects drainage. Roof water from two houses often lands in the same side yard, and there is little room for the ground to slope away before it meets the next foundation. Northeast Ohio clay under the lawns drains slowly, so water that collects between houses can sit against walls for days.
Newer homes built on lots where older houses once stood can sit partly on disturbed soil, where an old foundation, a filled-in outbuilding site or loosely packed backfill was left behind. That ground may settle unevenly. Signs include cracks in the basement wall, a gap opening at the garage or a porch tilting away.
We fix most problems from inside. Steel push piers reach firm soil under a settling corner. Carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech Stabilizer System hold block walls that have started to bow, and the braces can move a wall back toward plumb. Injection seals poured wall cracks. The plan is always in writing.

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.
On narrow lots, roof water from both houses often ends up in the same side yard. If the ground doesn't slope away, it soaks in right beside the foundation. We'll look at gutters, downspouts and grading to move it along.
If the crawl space has bare soil or feels damp, a vapor barrier helps a lot. It keeps ground moisture out of the house and away from the floor framing. We'll also check for standing water.
Soil disturbed by the old house or poorly packed backfill can settle unevenly. Some shrinkage cracks are normal in new concrete too. We'll inspect for free and tell you whether it needs sealing, support or just watching.
That side likely gets roof water from both homes and has little room to drain. The soil there stays wetter than anywhere else. Better downspout routing and a drain along the footing usually solve it.
Yes. We dig a pit in the basement floor, tie in drainage along the footing and set a pump that discharges outside. A battery backup keeps it running if the power goes out.
Yes. Most of our repairs are done from inside with hand tools and small equipment. Push piers need only small holes along the footing, so tight side yards aren't a problem.
Yes. We'll inspect it for free and write down what we find, from cracks to water marks and settling. That helps you decide with facts. If we make repairs, the lifetime warranty transfers.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028. Keep away from water near outlets until the power to the basement is off.
