A high lakeside water table, damp crawl spaces and converted cottage foundations keep Gloria Glens Park homes wet. We dry them with drainage, sump pumps and vapor barriers after a free inspection.
Gloria Glens Park sits right beside a natural lake, and that sets the water level in the ground around every home. In wet seasons the water table can rise close to the surface, leaving little room between groundwater and the bottom of a basement or crawl space. Water under pressure then pushes up through floors and in at the base of walls, often days after the rain has ended.
Many homes began as summer cottages. They were built on shallow footings with crawl spaces or small block basements, and damp in a cottage used a few months a year was easy to ignore. Now those same homes are lived in all year. Bare soil in crawl spaces and old block walls keep feeding moisture into rooms people use every day, from bedrooms to kitchens.
Lots in the village are small and close together, so roof runoff, driveways and neighboring yards all send water toward the same narrow strips of ground. Gutters that overflow or downspouts that empty at the wall make it worse, soaking the soil right where the foundation is weakest. The results show up as musty smells, mildew on stored items, rusty tools, warped trim and puddles after heavy rain.
Crawl spaces are often the first step. We clear out standing water, add drainage where needed, then cover the soil and walls with a sealed vapor barrier. A dehumidifier keeps the air dry. In basements we install an interior drain, laying perforated pipe in stone along the footing and running it to a sump pit, with membranes on walls that seep.
A sump pump with battery backup sends water out and away, and keeps working when storms cut the power. Leaking cracks and pipe openings are sealed with injection. On tight lots we look carefully at where gutters and downspouts empty so water doesn't end up back at your wall or a neighbor's. We test everything with you before leaving.
Gloria Glens Park homes sit on wet lakeside ground, many over crawl spaces built for summer use. Our systems seal crawl spaces, drain basements and keep a pump running through storms.
A perimeter drain captures water at the wall-floor joint and routes it to your sump before it reaches the floor.
A durable moisture barrier directs wall seepage into the drain and keeps the space dry and bright.
Collected water is moved out and away from your foundation by a high-capacity sump system.
The most common entry points are sealed watertight as part of the complete system.

We recently hired All American Basement Waterproofing to address some structural and moisture issues in our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Mike and his team installed carbon fiber straps on one of our basement walls.
Exceptional basement waterproofing, highly recommend. I had an outstanding experience with All American Basement for my basement.
We had our cellar door stairs waterproofed, a drain in the basement and downlines for our gutters installed. The crew was great to work with.
We usually add drainage to a sump to handle the water, then seal the ground and walls with a vapor barrier. A dehumidifier can keep the air dry after that. We'll check it during a free inspection.
Yes. When groundwater rises, it presses up from below and finds cracks in the slab. An interior drain relieves that pressure and carries water to a sump before it reaches the floor.
Very likely. Lakeside air and damp walls can keep basement humidity high. A dehumidifier helps right away, and sealing the moisture source keeps it down for good.
We'll look at your lot and find a spot where water can drain without hitting either foundation. Extensions or buried lines are common options on tight lots like these.
Yes, usually. A crawl space that was fine for summer use can make a year-round home damp and musty. A sealed vapor barrier and a dehumidifier make a big difference.
Only if there's no standing water. If water collects, drainage and a sump come first. Then the barrier keeps ground moisture out of the air in your home.
Not necessarily. Near a lake the water table can stay high between storms. We'll check the pump, float and discharge to make sure it's working and properly sized.
Most crawl space jobs take one to two days, and basements one to three. You'll get the schedule in writing. We clean up each day before we leave.
Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers when you sell. It shows buyers the basement or crawl space was properly fixed, which can make the sale go more smoothly.
