Basement Waterproofing in Hudson, OH

Our Hudson home is historic. Can you waterproof the basement without touching the exterior?

Yes. Interior drainage is installed from inside the basement, so siding, foundation plantings and walkways stay as they are. We put a drain at the footing, add a membrane on the walls and connect it to a sump pump.

Is it okay to waterproof my Hudson basement in the dead of winter?

Yes. Interior drainage work isn't affected by frozen ground or snow. Getting it done in winter means the system is in place and tested before the spring thaw.

My Hudson basement smells musty after every rain. What's causing that?

Rain pushes moisture through the walls and floor even when you don't see water, and that raises the humidity. Mildew follows. We look for the entry points and fix them with drainage, then add a dehumidifier if the air stays damp.

There's white powder on the concrete in my Hudson basement. Should I worry?

That's efflorescence, minerals left behind when water passes through concrete and dries. It isn't harmful itself, but it shows water is moving through the wall. Stopping that water stops the powder from returning.

I found a vertical crack that seeps in my Hudson basement. Can you seal it?

Yes. We inject it with epoxy or polyurethane so the crack is filled through the full wall thickness. If water also comes in at the floor seam, we'll suggest drainage along that wall.

What happens during a free waterproofing inspection at a Hudson home?

We walk the basement and the outside of the house, check walls, floor, sump and downspouts, and look for moisture with a meter. Then we explain where the water is coming from and give you a written estimate.

Our Hudson basement is huge. Will one sump pump be enough?

Not always. Large basements with long walls can collect more water than one pit handles well. We size the system to your basement and may recommend two pits or a higher-capacity pump with a backup.

We're planning to finish the lower level of our Hudson house. What should happen first?

Fix any water and humidity issues first. Once drainage is in, cracks are sealed and humidity is controlled, your finish work is protected. Plan access to the sump pit into the layout.

If I sell my Hudson home, does the waterproofing warranty transfer?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and goes to the next owner. You'll have paperwork describing the system to share with buyers and their inspector.
