Basement Waterproofing in Richmond Heights, OH

Our Richmond Heights basement gets wet along the uphill wall after rain. What's happening?

Runoff from higher ground soaks the soil against that wall and pushes water in at the base. A French drain or regrading outside can intercept some of it, and interior drain tile carries the rest to a sump.

I'm seeing water at small round spots on our Richmond Heights poured wall. Where's it from?

Those are often form tie holes left when the wall was poured. Water can travel through them when the soil outside is saturated. We seal them, and if water is also rising at the floor, we add drainage.

Our Richmond Heights window wells fill up like bathtubs. What can we do?

A window well needs a drain at the bottom and a gravel base so water has somewhere to go. Covers help keep rain and snow out. We can connect the well to your interior drain system.

We've never had water before, but now our Richmond Heights basement leaks. Why the change?

An old footing drain may have finally clogged, a downspout may have come loose, or new grading nearby may be sending water your way. We look at all the possibilities and fix the cause.

Is a sump pump alone enough for our Richmond Heights basement?

A sump pump only collects water that reaches the pit. To protect the whole basement, it needs interior drain tile feeding it from around the walls. Together they keep water off the floor.

Our Richmond Heights basement smells musty even in dry weather. Could it still be water?

It could be humidity or slow seepage you can't see. We test the walls and air. A dehumidifier, a wall membrane or drainage will fix it, depending on what we find.

We're in a Richmond Heights condo. Can the basement still be waterproofed?

Often, yes. We can install interior drainage along your walls and a sump in your unit. We will look at the building layout and let you know if the association should be involved.
