Basement Waterproofing in Shiloh, OH

There's a low ring of ground around our Shiloh house where water pools. Is that why the basement leaks?

Very likely. Backfill that was not packed tight settles over the years and leaves a dip beside the foundation. Rain pools there and soaks straight down to the footing. Regrading plus interior drainage fixes it.

I've got a musty smell in my Shiloh basement. How do I get rid of it?

Stop the moisture first, since seepage through the walls or floor feeds mildew. Then a dehumidifier keeps humidity low. Together they clear the smell for good.

What goes into the price of waterproofing my Shiloh basement?

The length of wall that needs drainage matters most, along with floor thickness, wall type and how many cracks need sealing. A longer discharge line, regrading or a battery backup also count. You get a written estimate after the free inspection.

Can you waterproof my Shiloh basement in the middle of winter?

Yes. The work happens inside, so cold weather does not stop it. We also make sure the discharge line drains after each cycle so it will not freeze and back up.

Our home near Shiloh has a crawl space. Can you dry it out?

Yes. We lay a heavy vapor barrier over the ground and up the walls to stop moisture rising into the house. If water collects there, we add drainage.

Power goes out often in the country around Shiloh. Will my sump still work?

A regular pump stops without power. A battery backup takes over on its own and keeps the pit from overflowing. We recommend one for most rural homes.

Where does the sump water go at a rural Shiloh property?

We run the discharge to open ground far enough away that it cannot drain back toward the foundation. On most country lots there is plenty of room. You approve the route before we start.

Why does my Shiloh basement leak mostly on one side?

That side may take more roof runoff, wind-driven rain or water from a sloped driveway. It may also sit where the backfill settled most. We find the source and make sure the drain handles it.

If we sell our Shiloh house, does the waterproofing warranty go to the buyer?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is in writing and transfers to the next owner. It gives buyers of a country home one less question about the basement when they make an offer.
