Basement Waterproofing in Butler, OH

Our Butler farmhouse has an old cellar and a newer addition. Why's the leak right where they meet?

The seam between two foundations built at different times is a natural weak spot. Water finds it quickly when the soil is soaked. We seal that joint and make sure our drain runs along it.

My Butler home has a crawl space under part of it. Can you keep that dry?

Yes. We lay a heavy vapor barrier over the floor and up the walls to stop ground moisture. If water collects there, we add a drain and sump to carry it out.

We're out in the country near Butler. Where does the sump water go?

We run the discharge to open ground well away from your house, downhill when possible. That keeps it from soaking back toward the foundation. You approve the route before we start.

Why does my Butler basement leak every time it rains hard?

Heavy rain fills the soil around your foundation faster than the clay can drain. The water then pushes in at the cove joint and through cracks. A drain at the footing and a sump pump relieve that pressure.

Can we finance basement waterproofing at our Butler home?

Yes, financing is available. We explain the options along with your written estimate after the free inspection. There is no pressure to decide that day.

Power goes out a lot out here near Butler. What happens to my sump pump?

A standard pump stops when the power does. A battery backup takes over automatically and keeps water out of your basement. It is a common choice for rural homes.

I've got a musty smell in my Butler basement. Is it from water?

Usually, yes. Moisture coming through the walls raises humidity and feeds mildew. We stop the seepage and can add a dehumidifier to keep the air dry.

My Butler basement walls are old stone. Can they be waterproofed?

Yes. Stone walls leak at the joints, and interior drainage handles that water well. We guide it down to a drain at the footing and out through a sump.

Will fixing the basement help if I sell my Butler property?

A dry basement helps with any inspection. Our lifetime warranty transfers to the buyer, which gives them one less worry about an older house in the country.
