Basement Waterproofing in Richfield, OH

Our Richfield house sits up high. Why's the basement getting wet?

Water on high ground moves fast, across the surface and through shallow soil layers. When your house sits in its path, that water piles up against the uphill wall. Surface drainage plus interior drain tile handles it.

Water from our long Richfield driveway runs toward the house. Can you fix that?

Yes. We can add a channel drain, regrade the edge or redirect the runoff with a swale so it bypasses the foundation. Stopping that stream is often the biggest single improvement for a Richfield basement.

Should I go with interior or exterior waterproofing for my Richfield home?

In Richfield we usually start outside with grading and drainage, since so much water arrives on the surface. Interior drain tile then handles what still reaches the walls. Full exterior excavation makes sense when a wall needs outside repair.

My Richfield basement floor has cracks that get wet. Is that a leak?

If water appears at those cracks after rain, groundwater is pushing up from below. A perimeter drain relieves that pressure, and then the cracks can be sealed so they stay dry.

We'd like to finish our Richfield basement. What should we fix first?

Fix the water first, starting with how runoff reaches the house. Once drainage is in and the basement stays dry through a wet season, finishing is a safe bet. We'll tell you what your basement needs.

Our Richfield basement is flooding right now. Can you come out?

Yes. Call (330) 366-3028 any time, and we'll send a crew as soon as we can. Keep clear of water near outlets and move valuables off the floor while you wait.

Why do the window wells on the low side of my Richfield house fill with water?

Runoff collects at the low side of the lot, and window wells there fill first. We add a drain tied into your system, refresh the gravel and can fit a cover. Redirecting the runoff helps too.

Leaves clog our Richfield gutters every fall. Could that be part of the problem?

Yes. Clogged gutters overflow and drop the roof's water right beside the foundation. Guards, larger downspouts and extensions keep that water moving away from the house.

How long does a waterproofing job take at a Richfield home?

Most jobs take one to three days once the crew starts. Outside grading or drainage work can add time depending on the lot. You'll get the schedule in writing first.
