Basement Waterproofing in Seville, OH

Our Seville house sits on a big lot. Why does water still find the basement?

A basement is usually the lowest point on the property, and runoff from lawns and fields heads there. Short downspouts and flat grading keep the clay by the walls soaked. We fix the inside and redirect the water outside.

There's a damp line along the bottom of my Seville basement wall. What's going on?

That's the cove joint, where the wall meets the floor. Water pressing up from the footing seeps through there first. A drain along the footing collects it before it reaches the floor.

I've noticed a crack in my Seville basement getting longer each year. Should I worry?

A crack that grows is letting in more water each season, especially as it freezes and thaws. We seal leaking cracks with injection and check whether the wall needs drainage too. If the wall is moving, we'll tell you.

Can you waterproof a Seville basement without digging up my yard?

Yes. Interior drainage handles groundwater from inside, so lawns, gardens and driveways stay put. We only suggest exterior work when a specific wall condition needs it.

We're on a country road in Seville and the power goes out in storms. Do we need a backup pump?

A battery backup is a good idea. The heavy rain that fills your sump often arrives with the storms that cut power. The backup keeps water moving until service comes back.

Where will my Seville sump pump drain?

We run the discharge to lower ground far enough from the house that it can't flow back. We also protect the outlet from freezing so it doesn't back up in winter.

Why does my Seville basement smell musty even when it's dry?

Moisture can pass through old block without ever leaving a puddle. That raises humidity and feeds mildew. We check for seepage and let you know whether drainage, a dehumidifier or both will fix it.

How long will the work take at my Seville home?

Most Seville basements take one to three days. Yard grading or a long discharge run can add a little time, and you'll get the schedule first.

If we sell our Seville home, does your warranty go with it?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the next owner. It answers the basement question for buyers right away and stays with the house.
