Basement Waterproofing in Navarre, OH

Water always shows up along the bottom edge of my Navarre basement wall. Why there?

That's the cove joint, where the floor meets the wall. The two were poured separately and never fully bonded, so a gap runs around the basement. A drain below it collects the water before it reaches the floor.

Our Navarre house has outside steps down to the basement door. Why does water come in there?

Those stairwells collect rain at the bottom, and water pools against the door. If the floor drain in the stairwell is clogged or missing, it runs straight inside. We add a drain tied into the system and seal the threshold.

I'm near the river in Navarre. Is my basement more likely to leak?

Lower ground in the Tuscarawas valley tends to stay wetter after rain and thaw. That keeps pressure on your foundation longer. Drainage below the slab and a reliable sump handle it.

My Navarre basement window leaks every time it rains hard. What can I do?

The well outside is probably holding water against the window. We clean it out, add a drain that ties into the system and fit a cover. That keeps rain from collecting there.

Can't I just caulk the joint at the bottom of my Navarre basement wall?

Caulk seals the surface, but water under pressure pushes it loose or finds the next gap. A drain below the joint relieves the pressure. After that, the seam stays dry.

How should I check the sump pump in my Navarre basement?

Pour a bucket of water into the pit and make sure the pump switches on, empties it and shuts off. Listen for grinding or humming. We test pumps free during inspections.

There's a pipe coming through my Navarre basement wall that drips. Can you seal it?

Yes. The seal around pipes shrinks over time and lets water in. We inject the opening and make sure drainage covers that stretch of wall.

How long will my Navarre basement be torn up?

Most Navarre jobs take one to three days once the crew starts. Stairwell drains and window wells are usually done in the same visit, so there's no second trip.

If I sell my Navarre home, does the warranty go with it?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the next owner. The buyer keeps full coverage on the system, and you have the paperwork to show it.
