Basement Waterproofing in Mount Eaton, OH

Our Mount Eaton basement stays damp for weeks after a rainy spell. Why won't it dry?

Thick clay around your house holds water long after the rain stops, so seepage keeps coming slowly. A footing drain and sump move that water out continuously, and a dehumidifier dries the air.

Water seeps in around my Mount Eaton basement windows. What's the fix?

Window wells that hold water keep the soil wet and push it around the frame. We add a gravel base, a drain tied to the footing system and a cover, so the well stays dry.

We built our Mount Eaton home recently. Why's water already getting in?

Settled backfill, short downspouts and an undersized builder sump can all let water in, even with a good poured wall. We'll find the cause and fix both the inside and the outside.

My Mount Eaton basement floor wicks moisture into boxes and rugs. How do we stop it?

That's moisture moving up through the slab and in at the edges. Drainage at the footing lowers the water around your house, and a dehumidifier keeps the air dry so stored things stay dry too.

Is interior drainage enough for a Mount Eaton basement, or do we need to dig?

For most Mount Eaton homes, interior drainage is enough and leaves your yard alone. We'll tell you after the free inspection if your situation calls for anything outside.

How disruptive is waterproofing in a Mount Eaton home?

Expect noise and some dust in the basement while we work. The crew covers your belongings and cleans up each day. Most jobs take one to three days.

I'm worried the sump will quit during a long wet spell in Mount Eaton. Any advice?

Add a battery backup pump and make sure the primary is sized for your water. The backup takes over if the main pump fails or the power drops.

Can we use our Mount Eaton basement for storage again after it's waterproofed?

Yes. Once the drain, membrane and humidity control are in, the space stays dry. Many homeowners go back to storing things or plan a finished room.

Does the lifetime warranty go to the buyer if we sell our Mount Eaton house?

Yes. It's written and transfers to the next owner. That gives buyers a clear answer about the basement and past water, and you'll have the paperwork ready for your agent.
