New Pittsburg is an unincorporated community in Chester Township, laid out in 1829 along what is now US Route 250. We fix wet basements and failing foundations here, starting with a free estimate.
New Pittsburg took shape in 1829 as a stop along the road through Chester Township, and it still strings out along US Route 250 with farmland beyond. Homes range from nineteenth-century houses near the old crossroads to mid-century ranches and newer houses on larger lots. That mix means a mix of foundations, from fieldstone and brick to block and poured concrete.
A highway corridor changes drainage. Road ditches, driveways and raised roadbeds move water in ways the original builders never planned for, and a house set lower than the road can collect runoff after a hard rain. Culverts that clog or back up send water across yards and toward the foundation.
The soil is mostly clay-rich glacial till that drains slowly and holds moisture against basement walls. Deep winter frost and a soggy spring push that water through cove joints, cracks and old mortar. Crawl spaces and dirt-floor cellars add humidity that drifts upstairs as a damp, musty smell.
In older New Pittsburg homes we find loose mortar in stone walls, bowing in block walls and porches or additions that have settled away from the house. Newer poured walls develop cracks as the clay around them swells and shrinks with the seasons, and some of those cracks leak.
We handle most repairs from inside the basement. Carbon-fiber straps hold walls that have begun to bow, the Richtech Stabilizer System braces walls that have moved further and can pull them back toward plumb, and steel push piers support settling sections. Injection seals cracks. The plan comes in writing.
Interior drainage, wall membranes and footing drains that relieve water pressure and stop seepage at the source - keeping your New Pittsburg basement dry for good.

Mike and Ken and the other workers, what can I say? They have gone above and beyond for us. This has been a very challenging job, and Mike the owner has been back several times to make it right.
Positive experience from start to finish. Scheduled the estimate within days and got us right on the calendar for the repair. Ken was great to work with and answered my numerous questions with patience. The crew arrived on time.
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.
It can. Water from the road and ditch can flow toward a lower yard after heavy rain. We'll look at where it goes and suggest grading or drainage changes, and interior drainage handles anything that still gets in.
If it backs up, water can spread across the yard toward your house. Clearing it may involve the township or county depending on location. We will check how that water reaches your foundation and what will protect the basement.
Most vertical cracks in poured walls come from shrinkage and aren't structural. If it's leaking or getting wider, it needs attention. We seal these with injection and check the wall for any movement.
Yes. The two sections often handle water differently. We look at each and at the joint between them, then write a plan that covers the whole foundation from end to end.
Traffic vibration is rarely the main cause of foundation damage. Soil moisture and pressure usually are. We'll inspect the cracks and tell you what's actually driving the movement in your walls.
Summer humidity condenses on cool basement walls and floors. That moisture can feel and smell like a leak. A dehumidifier usually helps, and we'll check for any water coming in too.
Yes. We dig a pit in the basement floor, install the pump and route the discharge away from the house. It does the most good when paired with a drain along the walls that feeds the pit.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency response for flooded basements. Call (330) 366-3028. If water is near outlets or appliances, turn off power to the basement before going down.
