Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Kidron, OH

Our Kidron house sits below a sloping field. Is that why the back wall leaks?

Very likely. Water running downhill soaks the soil against the uphill wall first. Grading, a swale or better downspout routing can help outside, and an interior drain catches whatever still reaches the basement.

I own an old farmhouse near Kidron with a stone foundation. Can you work on those?

Yes. Stone foundations leak through the mortar and can bulge with age. We will check the condition of the wall and explain options for drainage and support. Nothing is decided until you have the plan in writing.

We've got a musty smell in our Kidron home that comes and goes with the weather. What's behind it?

Often it's moisture moving through the basement walls or up from a crawl space. Humidity rises in wet weather, so the smell does too. A dehumidifier and sealing the moisture source usually take care of it.

The addition on my Kidron farmhouse has a crack where it meets the old house. Should I worry?

It's worth checking. Additions often sit on different footings and settle at their own rate. We'll see whether the crack is still moving and whether piers or sealing make sense.

Can a Kidron crawl space under a newer addition be sealed?

Yes. We cover the soil and walls with a sealed vapor barrier and can add a dehumidifier. If water collects there after rain, we'll handle drainage first so the barrier stays dry.

Our Kidron basement took on water during a spring storm. Can you come right away?

We offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028 and we'll get moving. Keep away from standing water near outlets or appliances until the power to that area is off.

How can I tell if a basement wall in Kidron is bowing or just uneven?

Bowing usually shows as a horizontal crack or a wall that leans in at mid-height. Old walls can also be built a bit uneven. We measure during a free inspection and tell you if there's real movement.

My Kidron gutters pour water right at the corner of the house. Doesn't that matter?

Yes, it does. That spot soaks the clay and puts extra pressure on the wall. Extending the downspout and keeping the gutter clear are simple fixes. We'll point out problem spots during the inspection.

Can we finance basement or foundation work at our Kidron home?

Yes, financing options are available. We'll explain them during your free estimate. You'll see the full price in writing first, with no pressure to decide that day.
