Basement Waterproofing in Louisville, OH

Our Louisville basement leaks right below a downspout. Is that a coincidence?

Probably not. A downspout that empties next to the foundation soaks the clay in that exact spot. Extending it several feet away often reduces the leak, and interior drainage handles the rest.

My Louisville basement was dry for years. Why's it leaking now?

Freeze and thaw work on cracks every winter until one opens far enough to let water through. Clogged gutters or a settled downspout can add to it. We find the cause and fix both sides.

Water runs off my patio toward the house in Louisville. Can that cause basement leaks?

Yes. A patio or driveway sloping toward the house sends runoff straight to the foundation. We can redirect it with drainage or grading and seal the wall inside.

We're on low ground in Louisville. Do we get more basement water?

Homes at the bottom of a slope or near the creek collect runoff from higher lots, so the soil stays wetter. Surface drainage and an interior drain with a sump handle it.

Can gutters alone fix my wet Louisville basement?

They help a lot when roof water is the main source. If groundwater is already building against the footing, though, gutters won't reach it. Many homes need both.

I've got a crack in my Louisville basement wall that only leaks in spring. Why?

In spring, the clay is saturated from snowmelt and rain, so pressure on the wall is highest. The rest of the year, the soil isn't wet enough to push water through. Injection seals it for good.

Should we add a battery backup to our Louisville sump pump?

If your basement depends on the pump, yes. The storms that bring heavy rain also cause outages. A backup keeps the pit from overflowing until power returns.

How long will my Louisville basement job take?

Most Louisville jobs take one to three days. Outside downspout and grading work often happens during the same visit, so the whole fix is done at once.

Does your warranty transfer when I sell my Louisville home?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the buyer, so the coverage stays with the house. You'll have paperwork to hand over at closing.
