Basement Waterproofing in Dalton, OH

Why does my Dalton basement only leak in the spring?

In spring the clay around your house is full of snowmelt and rain, while deeper ground may still be frozen. Water piles up in the backfill and pushes into the basement. A footing drain and sump handle that seasonal surge.

One long wall of our Dalton basement gets wet every year. Why just that one?

That wall usually faces the wettest part of the yard, maybe uphill, under a roof valley or next to the driveway. We fix the source outside and make sure the drain inside covers that wall fully.

My Dalton farmhouse has a stone basement. Can you keep it dry?

Yes. We collect water that comes through the stone with a footing drain and wall membrane and pump it out. A dehumidifier handles the damp air old stone gives off.

I've got water coming across the floor from the wall in my Dalton basement. What's the fix?

That water is crossing the cove joint where the wall meets the floor. A drain installed along that seam catches it below the slab and sends it to your sump pump.

Can you waterproof my Dalton basement before spring gets here?

Yes. Interior drainage is done from inside, so winter weather doesn't stop the work. Many Dalton homeowners book in winter so the system is ready for spring.

Our Dalton basement shelves keep rotting. Is humidity part of the problem?

Probably. Damp walls and seepage keep the air humid, and wood soaks it up. Stopping the water and running a dehumidifier protects shelving and anything you store.

How long does waterproofing take at a Dalton home?

Most Dalton basements take one to three days. Stone walls or a new sump pit can add a little time. You'll get the schedule in writing.

We'd like to keep the old look of our Dalton farmhouse basement. Will the system change it much?

The drain sits under the floor along the walls, and the membrane covers only the lower wall. The rest of the stone stays visible. We'll show you what it looks like before we start.

If we sell our Dalton house, does the warranty transfer?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and goes with the house. It's a clear answer when a buyer asks about spring water, and you'll have the paperwork to hand to your agent.
