Basement Waterproofing in Meyers Lake, OH

Why does water come up through the floor of my Meyers Lake basement?

That's usually groundwater pushing up from below, common near a lake. It finds the cove joint and cracks in the slab. An interior drain at the footing relieves that pressure and sends the water to a sump.

We lost power in a storm and our Meyers Lake basement flooded. How do we stop that?

A battery backup sump pump keeps working when the power goes out. It turns on if the main pump stops or falls behind. We can add one to your existing pit or include it with a new system.

Where's the sump water supposed to go on a lakeside lot in Meyers Lake?

The discharge line should carry water well away from the house so it can't circle back. We look at your lot and pick a spot that drains away from the foundation. We'll explain the route before installing.

Our Meyers Lake basement has old block walls with white chalky streaks. What does that mean?

Those streaks are mineral deposits left when water moves through the block and dries. They show the wall is getting wet regularly. A wall membrane and interior drain can direct that moisture to a sump.

I'd like my Meyers Lake basement to stop smelling musty. Will a dehumidifier be enough?

It can help, but it won't fix water coming through the walls or floor. We'll check for seepage first. If the basement stays dry and just holds humid air, a dehumidifier may be all you need.

Can you waterproof our Meyers Lake basement without digging up the lakeside yard?

Yes, in most cases. Interior drainage and a sump handle groundwater from inside the basement. Your lawn and landscaping near the water stay as they are.

How long will a waterproofing job take in my Meyers Lake home?

Most basements take one to three days. Bigger basements or extra crack work can add time. You'll get the schedule in writing first, and we clean up each day before leaving.

My Meyers Lake window wells fill with water after heavy rain. What can be done?

Window wells need a way to drain, or they fill like a bucket and leak through the window. We'll check the wells, the soil around them and the gutters. A drain or cover often solves it.

We're buying a house in Meyers Lake. Will the waterproofing warranty move to us?
