Basement Waterproofing in Mifflin, OH

Our Mifflin cellar walls are always damp to the touch. Can that be stopped?

Yes, in most cases. Old stone or brick passes water through the mortar. A membrane on the wall sends that seepage to a drain and sump, and a dehumidifier handles the air.

I've got a white crust on my Mifflin basement walls. Is that from water?

Yes. It's efflorescence, minerals left behind when water moves through masonry and evaporates. It means moisture is coming through. We'll find the source during a free inspection.

My Mifflin basement has no sump pump. Can one be added?

Yes. We dig a pit in the floor, install the pump and route the discharge away from the house. It does the most good with a drain along the walls feeding the pit.

We'd like to store canning jars in our Mifflin cellar. How dry does it need to be?

Dry enough that lids don't rust and labels don't mold. Controlling water and humidity with drainage and a dehumidifier gets you there. We'll check the space and recommend what fits.

Can a dirt-floor cellar in Mifflin be covered without pouring concrete?

Yes. A heavy, sealed vapor barrier over the soil and up the walls keeps moisture down. If water collects there, we add drainage first so the barrier stays dry.

Why's my Mifflin basement leaking more in spring than fall?

Spring brings snowmelt and steady rain onto soil that's already wet. The water table rises, and pressure on the walls peaks. Drainage and a sump handle that seasonal water.

Will a battery backup sump pump help in a Mifflin storm?

Yes. Storms often cut power right when the pump is needed. A battery backup keeps it running through outages and protects the basement until power returns.

How many days is a waterproofing crew at a Mifflin house?

Most jobs take one to three days. Cellars and crawl spaces can add time. You'll get the schedule in writing, and we clean up every day.

If we sell our Mifflin home, does the basement warranty go with it?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the buyer. It shows the basement was properly fixed, which can make the sale go more smoothly.
