Basement Waterproofing in Newburgh Heights, OH

My Newburgh Heights basement has damp brick walls all year. Can you really dry them out?

Yes. We can't make brick waterproof, but we can control where the water goes. A membrane and interior drain carry it to a sump, and a dehumidifier handles the air.

Why's the paint always peeling off my Newburgh Heights basement walls?

Water pushing through the wall lifts the paint from behind. As long as moisture keeps coming, new paint will peel too. Drainage takes the pressure off so the walls can dry.

We've got a very small Newburgh Heights basement. Is there room for a sump pit?

Almost always. A sump pit takes only a small area of floor, often in a corner or near the lowest point. We'll find a spot that works with your layout.

The seam where my Newburgh Heights wall meets the floor gets wet after storms. What's the fix?

That seam is the cove joint, and water under pressure pushes through it. An interior drain at the footing catches water there and sends it to a sump. It's one of the most common fixes we do.

Is a dehumidifier enough for my Newburgh Heights basement?

It helps with damp air, but it won't stop water coming through walls or the floor. If there's active seepage, drainage should come first. We'll check both during the inspection.

My Newburgh Heights basement has an old coal chute that leaks. Can it be sealed?

Yes. Old chute openings are often a weak point for water. We can seal the opening and make sure water that reaches that area drains to the system.

Will waterproofing my Newburgh Heights basement help with the musty smell upstairs?

Usually it does. Damp basement air rises into the rest of the house. Stopping seepage and running a dehumidifier cuts down that smell. Most owners notice the change quickly.

How do I stop snowmelt from leaking into my Newburgh Heights basement?

Clear snow away from the foundation where you can and make sure downspouts carry melt water away. For water that still gets in, an interior drain and sump are the long-term fix.

Can the waterproofing warranty on my Newburgh Heights home go to a buyer?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers when you sell. Buyers see that the basement was fixed and backed by the company that did the work.
