Basement Waterproofing in Moreland Hills, OH

Our Moreland Hills basement leaks only on the uphill side. Do we need drainage everywhere?

Not always. If the leaks are limited to one or two walls, drainage along those may be enough. We'll look at the whole basement and explain what makes sense.

The old footing drain at our Moreland Hills house seems clogged. Can it be cleaned?

Sometimes, but old drains are often crushed or full of roots. An interior drain tied to a sump is usually more reliable. We'll check the options during the inspection.

I've noticed water around the floor drain in our Moreland Hills basement. Is that groundwater?

It could be groundwater pushing up, or a backup from the drain line. We'll check both. The fix depends on which one it is, so we look before we recommend anything.

We're getting condensation on our Moreland Hills basement walls in summer. Is that a leak?

Often it's humid air hitting cool walls. A dehumidifier helps pull that moisture out of the air. We'll also check for seepage, since the two can happen together.

How much digging does waterproofing take at a Moreland Hills house?

Most of our waterproofing is done inside, so the yard stays intact. Outside we may adjust grading or extend downspouts. We'll explain any outside work in advance.

Our Moreland Hills sump pump runs a lot in spring. Should we replace it?

Heavy use in spring is normal on slow-draining clay. What matters is whether it keeps up and whether it's wearing out. We'll test it and add a backup if needed.

Can you seal the crawl space under our Moreland Hills family room addition?

Yes. We cover the soil and walls with a vapor barrier and seal it. A dehumidifier can help keep it dry. That also helps the room above feel less damp.

My Moreland Hills basement has water stains but it's dry now. Should I still get it checked?

Yes. Stains show water got in before and may again in the next wet season. A free inspection will tell you where it came in, why, and what would keep it out.

Does your waterproofing warranty in Moreland Hills stay with the house?

Yes. It's a written lifetime warranty that transfers to the next owner. It's a plus when you sell, because buyers can see the work is covered.
