Basement Waterproofing in Uniontown, OH

Our Uniontown house is only a few years old. Why is the basement already wet?

The loose soil filled in around a new foundation settles for years and soaks up water fast. As it sinks, the yard can slope toward the house. Drainage inside and regrading outside fix it.

We have a sump pit in our Uniontown basement but water still gets in. Why?

In some newer homes the pit collects water from only part of the basement, or from no drain at all. Water at the far walls can't reach it. We tie drain tile along those walls into the pit.

My Uniontown yard used to slope away from the house. Why doesn't it anymore?

The fill soil next to the foundation keeps settling after construction. Over time that strip sinks lower than the yard. We regrade it so water runs away from the walls again.

There's a thin vertical crack in my Uniontown basement wall. Is that normal?

Shrinkage cracks are common in poured concrete as it cures. If it's dry, keep an eye on it. If it's wet, we seal it with injection from inside.

I've noticed small wet spots in a line on my Uniontown basement wall. What's causing them?

Those are usually form tie holes, left by the metal ties that held the concrete forms. Wet soil pushes water through them. We seal each one with injection.

Our Uniontown window wells fill with water. How do we stop that?

The wells need a drain at the bottom and a cover on top. We add a drain that ties into the interior system and fit a cover so rain stays out.

Should I waterproof my Uniontown basement before finishing it?

Yes. It's much easier and cheaper to fix water before walls and carpet go in. Once drainage and a membrane are installed, you can finish with confidence.

How long does waterproofing take at a Uniontown home?

Most Uniontown basements take one to three days once the crew arrives. Outside regrading can happen during the same visit, and you'll get the schedule first.

Does your warranty transfer if we sell our Uniontown house?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and goes to the next owner. In a newer neighborhood, it's an easy answer when a buyer's inspector asks.
