Basement Waterproofing in Highland Hills, OH

The crawl space under our Highland Hills split-level has standing water. What's the fix?

Standing water means a liner alone won't be enough. We can add a drain and small sump, then cover the soil and walls with a vapor barrier. A dehumidifier helps control the air.

Water's coming in along the floor edge of my Highland Hills basement. Why there?

That's the cove joint, where the wall and floor were poured separately. Water pressure in wet clay pushes through that seam first. An interior drain along the footing relieves the pressure.

I've got a window well in Highland Hills that turns into a pool. Can you fix it?

Yes. We check the well drain, the grading around it and whether a downspout is dumping into it. A cover or a new drain connection usually stops it. We'll look at the wall behind it too.

Our Highland Hills sump pump runs days after the rain stops. Is that normal?

In slow-draining clay, it can be. Water keeps seeping to the pit for a while after storms. We'll still check the pump, float and discharge line to make sure everything works right.

We'd like a battery backup on our Highland Hills sump. Can you add one to our current pump?

Often, yes. We look at the pit and the existing pump first. If the pump is in good shape, we add the backup. If it's near the end of its life, we may suggest replacing both.

Can you waterproof a Highland Hills basement without digging up the yard?

In most cases, yes. Interior drainage and a sump pump handle groundwater from inside. Digging outside is only needed in certain cases, and we'll explain if yours is one.

My Highland Hills townhouse basement smells musty but looks dry. What should I check?

Moisture can come through walls and the floor without leaving puddles. We'll test for dampness and humidity. Sealing, a dehumidifier or drainage may be needed depending on what we find.

How long does it take to waterproof a basement in Highland Hills?

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

Will my Highland Hills waterproofing warranty transfer if I sell?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and goes with the house. Buyers see the basement was fixed and remains covered, which can help the sale go smoothly.
