Basement Waterproofing in Loudonville, OH

Water's seeping up through my Loudonville basement floor, but the walls look dry. Why?

That usually means the groundwater under your house has risen above the bottom of the slab. Near the river the water table climbs in wet seasons and pushes up through floor cracks and the edge seam. A perimeter drain at footing level lowers that water and sends it to a sump.

Our Loudonville window wells fill with water every spring. How do we stop it?

Window wells catch rain, snowmelt and runoff from the slope above your house. If the gravel is clogged or there's no drain, the well turns into a small pond. We tie a drain into your system and can fit clear covers that keep rain out.

I'm worried about the mess. What's waterproofing like inside a Loudonville home?

There's noise and some dust while we cut the floor, but we contain it with plastic sheeting and ventilation. The crew hauls out the broken concrete and cleans up each day, and most families stay in the house during the work.

Can I spread out the cost of waterproofing my Loudonville basement?

Yes. We offer financing so you can fix a wet basement now and pay over time. Ask about the plans when you get the written estimate after your free inspection.

Our house sits on a slope in Loudonville. Where's the right spot for the sump to drain?

Downhill, and far enough from the foundation that the water can't soak back toward the walls. We plan the route to follow the fall of the land, resist freezing and stay off your neighbor's property.

The uphill wall of my Loudonville basement is always the wet one. Why that side?

Rain on the hillside moves down through the topsoil and runs into the first thing in its way, which is your uphill wall. That side carries the most water and pressure. We put the most drainage where the most water arrives and look at grading outside too.

My basement near the river in Loudonville flooded last night. Can you come out?

Yes. Call (330) 366-3028 any time, day or night, and we'll send a crew as soon as we can. Keep clear of water near outlets and appliances, and move what you can off the floor.

Do I need a battery backup for the sump in my Loudonville house?

If your pump runs hard in spring, a backup is worth it. Storms that load the hillsides with water can also cut power, and a primary pump can't run without it. A battery unit keeps the pit from overflowing until power returns.

If we sell our Loudonville home, does the waterproofing warranty transfer?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and it transfers to the next owner. Buyers get a clear answer about the basement, and you get paperwork to hand them.
