Basement Waterproofing in East Sparta, OH

My East Sparta basement stays wet for days after the rain stops. Why so long?

Dense clay drains very slowly, so water keeps seeping in after the storm is over. An interior drain relieves that pressure and sends the water to a sump, which pumps it away steadily.

The white streaks on our East Sparta basement walls keep coming back. What are they?

That's efflorescence, mineral left behind as water moves through the wall and dries. It shows the wall is getting wet regularly. A membrane and drain can send that moisture to a sump.

Where should sump water go on a rural East Sparta lot?

Far enough from the house that it can't circle back, and away from any well or septic field. We look at your lot's slope and choose a route that drains away. We'll show you before we install.

I've got a sump pump in my East Sparta basement but water still gets in. What's wrong?

A pump only helps if water reaches the pit. Without a drain along the footing, water can enter at the walls and never get there. We'll check your setup and explain what's missing.

Can our East Sparta basement be waterproofed without digging up the yard?

Yes, in most cases. Interior drainage and a sump handle groundwater from inside. Your yard stays as it is. Exterior digging is only needed in certain situations, and we'll tell you if yours is one.

We're worried about storms knocking out power in East Sparta. Will the sump keep running?

It will with a battery backup. The backup pump turns on when the power goes out or the main pump can't keep up. We can add one to your existing pit.

Our East Sparta basement has old stone walls. Can they stay dry?

Stone walls can't be sealed completely, but the water can be controlled. A membrane directs seepage to an interior drain and sump, so the floor stays dry. A dehumidifier helps with the damp air.

How many days does waterproofing take in an East Sparta home?

Most jobs take one to three days. Larger basements or crawl space work can add time. You'll get the schedule in writing, and we clean up at the end of each day.

Does the East Sparta waterproofing warranty transfer to a new owner?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and goes with the house when you sell. Buyers get proof the basement was fixed and covered, which can make the sale go more smoothly.
