Basement Waterproofing in Twinsburg Heights, OH

My neighbor's downspout in Twinsburg Heights empties toward my house. What can be done?

Water from a nearby roof can soak the soil right at your wall. Often a simple reroute or extension solves it. We'll show you where the water goes and suggest changes for both sides of the yard.

We've got a musty smell coming from the crawl space in our Twinsburg Heights home. How do we fix it?

Bare soil in a crawl space gives off moisture that rises into the house. A vapor barrier over the ground and walls cuts that down, and a dehumidifier handles what's left. We'll check for standing water too.

Water seeps in where the floor meets the wall in my Twinsburg Heights basement. Why there?

That seam, called the cove joint, is a weak point where pressure in the soil pushes water in. Sealing it from inside rarely lasts. A drain along the footing collects the water and sends it to a sump.

Where should a sump pump drain on a narrow Twinsburg Heights lot?

Away from your foundation and your neighbor's, onto ground that slopes away. On tight lots that takes some planning. We'll route the discharge so the water doesn't circle back.

Our newer Twinsburg Heights home already has a damp basement. Isn't new construction supposed to be dry?

New homes can still leak, especially where backfill has settled or grading has shifted. Water follows the loose soil down the wall. We'll find the source and fix it with drainage or sealing.

I'm seeing small round wet spots on my Twinsburg Heights poured wall. What are they?

Those are likely tie-rod holes from the forms used to pour the wall. Their plugs can fail and let water through. We seal them with injection and make sure water has a path to drain.

We'd like to finish our Twinsburg Heights basement. What do we check first?

Check for water and humidity. If walls or floors are damp, fix that before framing goes in. We'll inspect it and tell you exactly what it needs.

Can a Twinsburg Heights basement be waterproofed without digging up the side yard?

In most cases, yes. Interior drainage and a sump handle the water from inside a Twinsburg Heights basement. Outside digging is only needed in certain cases, and we'll tell you if yours is one.

Does basement waterproofing in Twinsburg Heights come with a warranty that transfers?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and goes to the next owner if you sell. It shows buyers the basement was fixed, which can help the sale.
