Basement Waterproofing in North Lawrence, OH

The floor of our North Lawrence cellar gets wet but the walls look dry. Where's it coming from?

Water is likely rising at the cove joint or through cracks in the floor. That happens when groundwater pressure builds below. An interior drain at the footing relieves the pressure and carries water to a sump.

Our North Lawrence basement has an old clay tile drain that backs up. Can it be replaced?

Yes. We install a new perforated drain along the inside of the footing and run it to a sump. That gives groundwater a clear path out without digging up the yard.

What's making the block walls in my North Lawrence basement seep near the floor?

Water fills the hollow cores of the block and drains to the bottom, then seeps out low on the wall. A membrane on the wall and a drain at the footing send that water to a sump.

My North Lawrence sump pump ran nonstop last spring. Is it too small for the job?

It may be undersized, or the pit may be too small for the water coming in. We'll check the pump, the pit and the discharge line. A battery backup adds protection if the main pump can't keep up.

Can I dry out my North Lawrence basement without touching the outside of the house?

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

We want to store things in our North Lawrence basement. How dry does it need to be?

Dry enough that there's no seepage and humidity stays under control. Otherwise boxes and furniture grow mold. Drainage, a sump and a dehumidifier usually get you there.

Snow drifts against our North Lawrence house every winter. Does that wet the basement?

It can. When drifts melt, all that water soaks in right beside the foundation. Good grading and extended downspouts help, and interior drainage catches what still gets through.

What's a typical timeline to waterproof a basement in North Lawrence?

Most jobs take one to three days. Larger basements or crawl space work can add time. You'll get the schedule in writing first, and we clean up each day.

Will a buyer get our North Lawrence waterproofing warranty if we sell?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers with the house. It gives buyers proof the basement was fixed and covered, which can make closing easier.
