Basement Waterproofing in Perrysville, OH

Our Perrysville basement stays dry in light rain but floods in a downpour. Why?

Hard rain runs off the slope faster than the soil can take it, and it piles against your uphill wall while the gutters overflow. That sudden load pushes water through the cove joint and cracks. Fixing drainage outside and adding interior drain tile handles both halves.

There's a dirt crawl space under part of my Perrysville house. Should I seal it?

If it's damp, holds standing water or smells musty, yes. A crawl space shares its air with the rooms above. A sealed vapor barrier, plus drainage where water pools, turns it into a dry, clean space.

How long will you be working at my Perrysville home?

Most interior drainage jobs here take one to three days, depending on the length of wall, the floor thickness and extras like a crawl space barrier. We give you the schedule in writing, and the crew cleans up each day.

What's the white powder on the block in my Perrysville basement?

It's efflorescence, minerals left behind when water soaks through concrete or block and evaporates. The powder is harmless, but the water behind it is worth stopping, usually with interior drainage and a wall membrane.

Will a dehumidifier fix the damp air in my Perrysville basement?

It helps, but only after the leaks are handled. A dehumidifier can't keep up if water is still seeping through the walls or floor. Once drainage stops the seepage, a properly sized unit keeps the humidity down and the smell away.

The gutters on our Perrysville house fill with leaves every fall. Could that be causing the leak?

It could be part of it. An overflowing gutter dumps the roof's water straight down beside the foundation. Cleaning the gutters, adding guards and extending the downspouts sends that water away from the walls.

I've got a crack in my poured Perrysville basement wall that drips after storms. Can you seal it?

Yes. We inject the crack with polyurethane or epoxy so it's filled through the full thickness of the wall. If water is also coming in at the floor seam, we pair the injection with a footing drain.
