Why Highland Heights basements and crawl spaces stay damp

Many Highland Heights houses mix foundation types under one roof. A split-level may have a full basement under one wing, a crawl space under another and a lower level set just below grade. Each of those spaces handles water differently, so a home can have a dry basement and a soggy crawl space at the same time. We look at every part of the foundation during an inspection, including rooms that look dry.

Flat lots and heavy clay work against drainage. When a yard has little slope, rain and snowmelt settle near the house and soak down into the backfill. The clay holds that water for a long time, keeping pressure on the walls and the slab. Footing drains from the original build may be clogged or disconnected, which leaves the water with no way out. A sump that runs often is a clue.

Winter and spring bring the heaviest loads. Lake-effect snow piles up along the foundation, then melts into soil that is still partly frozen below. Water moves sideways into the walls and up through the cove joint and floor cracks. In summer, humid air in a crawl space or a cool lower level condenses on surfaces and leads to that familiar musty smell. Both problems have simple, lasting fixes.

The Permanent Fix

How we waterproof Highland Heights homes

In a basement, we install interior drain tile along the footing. The crew cuts a trench at the edge of the floor, lays perforated pipe in clean stone and routes it to a sealed sump. A wall membrane catches seepage and sends it down into the drain. In a crawl space, a heavy vapor barrier covers the ground and walls, and drainage can be added where water collects.

The sump pump carries water out and away from the house, and a battery backup keeps it working when a storm cuts power. A dehumidifier holds humidity down in lower levels and crawl spaces. Outside, we can add downspout extensions, a French drain or gutter fixes to move water off flat lots. Most jobs take one to three days.

What's Included

What a Highland Heights waterproofing system includes

Because many Highland Heights homes pair a basement with a crawl space on flat, clay-heavy lots, we plan drainage, vapor barriers and sump capacity for the whole foundation at once.

Interior drainage system

A perimeter drain captures water at the wall-floor joint and routes it to your sump before it reaches the floor.

Wall membrane

A durable moisture barrier directs wall seepage into the drain and keeps the space dry and bright.

Sump pump integration

Collected water is moved out and away from your foundation by a high-capacity sump system.

Joint & crack sealing

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.

Highland Heights Questions

Basement waterproofing FAQs for Highland Heights homeowners

Our Highland Heights crawl space has standing water after big storms. What's the fix?

We usually add drainage along the crawl space perimeter to a sump pump and cover the ground and walls with a heavy vapor barrier. That removes the water and keeps moisture from rising into the house.

We have a musty smell in our Highland Heights home that seems to come from the floor. Could it be the crawl space?

Quite possibly. Air from a damp crawl space rises into the living space above. A vapor barrier and, if needed, a dehumidifier or drainage will cut the moisture and the smell.

My Highland Heights basement floor gets wet along one wall only. Where's it coming from?

Water along one wall often points to a downspout, a low spot in the yard or a clogged section of footing drain on that side. We find the source, fix the outside drainage and add interior drain tile if groundwater is the cause.

Our Highland Heights sump pump failed during an outage. What should we add?

A battery backup pump takes over when the power goes out or the main pump fails. It keeps the pit from overflowing during storms. We can install it alongside your existing pump or replace both.

Snow piles up along our Highland Heights foundation all winter. Does that cause leaks?

It can. As the snow melts, the water soaks right into the soil against your walls, often while deeper soil is still frozen. Moving snow away from the house and extending downspouts help, and interior drainage handles the rest.

We're thinking about a dehumidifier for our Highland Heights lower level. Is that enough?

If the problem is only humid air, a properly sized dehumidifier may be all you need. If water is seeping through the walls or floor, drainage has to come first. We measure and tell you which is the case.

Our Highland Heights basement has never had a sump pump. Can one be added?

Yes. We cut a pit in the floor, install a sealed basin and connect it to interior drain tile so it collects water from all around the basement. The discharge runs outside and away from the foundation.

It's raining hard and water is coming into our Highland Heights basement. Who do I call?

Call us at (330) 366-3028. We respond to basement emergencies 24/7. Move valuables off the floor, stay clear of water near outlets, and we will help you from there.

We're selling our Highland Heights split-level. Will a waterproofing warranty help the sale?

It can. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the buyer, which answers basement questions during inspection. Keep the paperwork handy when you list.
