Basement Waterproofing in Burbank, OH

Water seeps up through the middle of our Burbank basement floor. Where's it coming from?

That's usually groundwater under pressure pushing up through cracks or the floor itself. It's common where the water table is high, like near a creek. An interior drain with a sump relieves that pressure from below.

My Burbank sump pump runs for days after the creek rises. Is that normal?

It can be, where the water table stays high. What matters is that the pump keeps up and the water drains well away from the house. We'll check the pump, the pit and the discharge line, and add a battery backup if you don't have one.

Can old stone walls in a Burbank basement get a waterproofing membrane?

Yes. A membrane is fastened to the wall and sends seepage down to a drain at the footing. Loose stone or missing mortar may need work first. We'll tell you what the wall needs during the inspection.

We'd like to use our Burbank basement for storage without everything getting damp. What helps?

Stopping liquid water comes first, with drainage and a sump if needed. Then humidity control with a dehumidifier keeps boxes and tools dry. We'll measure moisture and suggest what fits your basement.

Our Burbank crawl space has standing water after rain. Can it be sealed?

Yes. We deal with the standing water first, often with a drain and a sump. Then a vapor barrier goes over the ground and up the walls. A dehumidifier can keep the air dry after that.

I'm not sure if my Burbank basement has any drain tile at all. Can you tell?

Many older village homes have no footing drain, or one that's clogged. We look for signs like where water enters, the age of the walls and any existing pit. Then we explain what's there and what's needed.

Would regrading my yard in Burbank be enough to stop basement leaks?

Sometimes it helps a lot, especially where the ground slopes toward the house. When the water table itself is high, grading alone won't do it. We check both and tell you honestly which fix makes sense.

How long will the waterproofing crew be at our Burbank house?

Most basement jobs take one to three days. Crawl space work or a larger basement can add time. You'll get the schedule in writing first, and we clean up at the end of every day.

Does your warranty cover a Burbank basement if we sell the house later?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is in writing and transfers to the next owner. It shows buyers the basement was properly fixed, which can help when you sell.
