Basement Waterproofing in Jeromesville, OH

Our Jeromesville basement only leaks after a long, soaking rain. Why then?

A long rain raises the water level in the soil around your foundation. When it reaches a crack, a form-tie hole or the wall-floor joint, it pushes through. Short showers don't soak in that deep, which is why you only see it after the long ones.

We're planning to sell our Jeromesville home. Is waterproofing worth doing first?

A dry basement with a documented system is easier to sell than one with water stains to explain. Our lifetime warranty transfers to the buyer, and we give you paperwork describing the work so you can include it with the listing.

Do I really need a battery backup sump pump in Jeromesville?

If your basement depends on a sump pump, a backup is worth having. The storms that push the most water toward your house are often the ones that knock out power in farm country. A battery unit keeps pumping when the main pump can't.

Should my Jeromesville basement be waterproofed from the inside or the outside?

For most homes here, interior drainage does the job with less disruption and lower cost. Exterior work with excavation, a membrane and new footing drains makes sense when the outside of a wall needs repair. We'll explain which fits your house after we see it.

It's January. Can you still waterproof my Jeromesville basement?

Yes. Interior drainage happens inside the house, so snow and frozen ground don't stop it. Getting it done in winter means your system is ready and working before the spring thaw arrives.

My Jeromesville house is fairly new. Why is the basement already wet?

Newer poured walls have steel form ties and a joint at the footing that can weep once the outside coating wears. Many builders also left a footing drain that clogs with fine soil. We inject the leaking spots and add interior drainage so water has a way out.

Little spots of water show up around the metal ties in my Jeromesville walls. Can you seal them?

Yes. Those are form-tie holes, and they're common leak points in poured basements. We inject them with epoxy or polyurethane that fills each hole through the full thickness of the wall.

The bottom row of block in our Jeromesville basement is always damp. What's happening?

Hollow block fills with water from the wet soil outside and lets it out at the bottom course. We drill small weep holes in that row so the water drains into a new footing drain and on to the sump.

How long does waterproofing take at a Jeromesville house?

Most jobs take one to three days once the crew starts. A single wall with crack injection can go faster, and a full perimeter drain with a new pit takes longer. You get the schedule in writing first.
