Basement Waterproofing in New Franklin, OH

My New Franklin house near Turkeyfoot Lake gets water up through the floor. What stops that?

Water coming up through the floor usually means high groundwater. An interior drain and sump pump lower the water under the slab and send it outside. A battery backup keeps it working during storms.

Snowmelt from the field behind our New Franklin home runs toward the basement. Can that be redirected?

Often, yes. Regrading near the house or a shallow swale can steer water around it. If some still reaches the walls, an interior drain catches it. We'll look at both at the free inspection.

I see white streaks on my New Franklin basement walls. What's that from?

Those are minerals left behind when water passes through the wall and dries. It means moisture is moving through regularly. We'll track down the source and plan drainage to stop it.

Our New Franklin country home has old clay drain tile. Should it be replaced?

If it's crushed or clogged, it can't do its job. We usually install a new drain along the inside of the footing to a sump. That replaces the old tile without digging around the whole house.

The power goes out often on our New Franklin road. Does my sump need a backup?

Yes. A sump pump stops when the power does, and storms that knock out power often bring heavy rain. A battery backup keeps pumping until the power comes back.

What's making the crawl space under our New Franklin addition smell musty?

Bare soil in a crawl space gives off a lot of moisture, and that damp air feeds mold. A vapor barrier over the ground and walls cuts it down. A dehumidifier can handle the rest.

We want to turn our New Franklin basement into living space. What should we fix first?

Water and humidity. Get them under control before framing and drywall go in. We'll check the basement and tell you what it needs so the new room stays dry.

Can a New Franklin basement be waterproofed from inside only?

In most cases, yes. Interior drainage and a sump handle groundwater from inside. Digging outside is only needed in certain situations, and we'll tell you if yours is one.

Will the lifetime warranty on my New Franklin basement pass to a buyer?

Yes. It's written and transfers when you sell. Buyers get proof the basement was fixed and who fixed it, which can help the sale go smoothly.
