Why Olmsted Falls basements take on water

A fieldstone basement was never designed to be watertight. Builders in the 1800s expected some dampness and stored root crops in it. Today those same walls let water in through countless mortar joints, and the floor may be thin concrete poured long after the house was built. Water that reaches the base of a stone wall spreads across the floor easily, and patching individual joints rarely keeps up.

Water in this town moves downhill toward the river and the creeks. Houses on slopes get groundwater flowing into their uphill walls every time it rains. Low lots near the water can see the water table rise high enough after long wet spells that water pushes up through the floor itself, especially in early spring. Clay in the yard slows drainage further, so the soil around the foundation can stay soaked for days after the rain ends.

Newer homes have their own leak points. Poured walls crack as they cure and settle, and block walls let water through mortar joints and into their hollow cores. The cove joint where wall meets floor is a common entry point in both. Many of these homes rely on a single sump pump, and when it fails in a storm the basement floods quickly. A second pump on battery power covers you for exactly that moment.

The Permanent Fix

How we waterproof Olmsted Falls basements

For most basements we install an interior drain at the footing. The crew removes a strip of floor along the walls, sets perforated pipe in clean stone and runs it to a sump pit. On stone walls, a membrane directs seepage down into the drain and keeps the space drier. On block, weep holes let trapped water out of the cores.

A sump pump moves the water outside, and a battery backup keeps it running when the power fails. Leaking cracks in poured walls get epoxy or polyurethane injection. We also look at gutters, downspouts and grading so less water reaches the walls in the first place. Most jobs take one to three days, and we test the system with you before we leave.

  • Wall membranes for stone and block
  • Sump pumps with battery backup
  • Crack injection for poured walls

What's Included

What a Olmsted Falls waterproofing system includes

Olmsted Falls has old stone basements, hillside lots and low ground near the creeks, so we adapt each system to the wall type and the way water moves on your lot.

Interior drainage system

A perimeter drain captures water at the wall-floor joint and routes it to your sump before it reaches the floor.

Wall membrane

A durable moisture barrier directs wall seepage into the drain and keeps the space dry and bright.

Sump pump integration

Collected water is moved out and away from your foundation by a high-capacity sump system.

Joint & crack sealing

The most common entry points are sealed watertight as part of the complete system.

We recently hired All American Basement Waterproofing to address some structural and moisture issues in our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Mike and his team installed carbon fiber straps on one of our basement walls.

Olmsted Falls Questions

Basement waterproofing FAQs for Olmsted Falls homeowners

Our Olmsted Falls fieldstone basement is always damp. Can it ever be dry?

It can be much drier. Interior drainage at the base of the walls collects seepage and sends it to a sump. A membrane on the walls and a dehumidifier handle the rest of the moisture.

Water pushes up through our Olmsted Falls basement floor in early spring. Why the floor?

When the water table rises, pressure under the slab pushes water up through cracks and joints. An interior drain lowers that pressure and a sump pump carries the water out.

Our Olmsted Falls sump pump failed last spring and we flooded. What would stop that happening again?

A dependable primary pump plus a battery backup that takes over if the main pump fails or loses power. We also check your pit, check valve and discharge line.

My Olmsted Falls home is newer but water gets in at the floor edge. Is that normal?

It's common. Water under pressure finds the cove joint where the wall meets the floor. An interior drain at the footing catches it and routes it to a sump.

Is patching the mortar enough to waterproof our Olmsted Falls stone basement?

Repointing helps the wall, but water will find the next weak joint. Drainage at the base of the wall is what keeps the basement dry over time.

We're on low ground near the creek in Olmsted Falls. Can you still keep our basement dry?

Yes, in most cases. Low lots need a drainage system and sump sized for a high water table. We look at your situation and design the system to match.

Our Olmsted Falls basement smells musty but I can't find any leaks. What's going on?

Moisture can move through stone, block and concrete as vapor. It raises humidity and leaves that smell even without puddles. We check for hidden seepage and recommend a dehumidifier if needed.

How long will your crew be working in our Olmsted Falls basement?

Most waterproofing jobs take one to three days. Stone basements or larger spaces can take a bit longer. We give you the plan in writing before starting.

We want to finish our Olmsted Falls basement. What should come first?

Stop the water first. We install drainage, a wall membrane if needed and humidity control. Once the basement stays dry, finishing it is much safer.
