Basement Waterproofing in Richville, OH

Our Richville cellar has a dirt floor in one corner. Can the basement still be waterproofed?

Yes. We can pour concrete where the floor is missing and install drainage along the walls. A sump carries water out. We'll look at the stone walls too, since they need a membrane to direct seepage.

I see water coming through the mortar joints of my Richville stone basement. How do you stop it?

Stone walls can't be made fully watertight from inside, so we manage the water. A membrane on the wall guides seepage down to an interior drain, which sends it to a sump. Your floor stays dry.

Why's my poured basement in Richville leaking at one small crack?

That crack is the easiest path for water pressing on the wall. Shrinkage cracks are common in poured concrete. We seal them with epoxy or polyurethane injection from inside.

Our sump pump in Richville is old and loud. Should we replace it before spring?

If it's old, noisy or cycling oddly, spring is the wrong time to find out it has failed. We'll test it, check the pit and the discharge line, and add a battery backup if you don't have one.

The downspouts on my Richville house drop water right at the foundation. Does that matter?

Yes. It puts roof water straight into the soil beside your basement. Extending downspouts several feet away is a simple fix. We'll check them during the inspection.

We'd rather not dig up our Richville garden beds. Can waterproofing be done from inside?

Yes, in most cases. Interior drainage and a sump handle groundwater without touching your landscaping. Exterior digging is only needed in certain cases, and we'll tell you if yours is one.

How dry's my old Richville cellar going to be after waterproofing?

With drainage and a sump, standing water and floor seepage stop. Stone walls may still feel cool and a little damp, so a membrane and dehumidifier help. We'll tell you what to expect before starting.

My Richville basement only leaks after the snow melts. Is it worth fixing?

Yes. Snowmelt saturates the clay for weeks, and that water will keep finding the same weak spots. Fixing it now protects anything stored down there and keeps the walls from staying wet.

Can I transfer the Richville waterproofing warranty if I sell the house?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and goes with the house. Buyers get proof the basement was fixed and covered, which can make closing easier.
