Basement Waterproofing in Walton Hills, OH

Water's coming in by the walkout door in our Walton Hills basement. How is that fixed?

Water often enters where the buried wall ends and the exposed wall begins, or under the door threshold. We'll trace it and may add drainage, seal the joint or fix grading near the door.

My Walton Hills sump pump seems to run all spring. Is it big enough?

On a hillside lot, the pit may get a steady flow for weeks. If the pump barely keeps up, it may be undersized. We'll time how fast the pit fills and suggest the right pump and a battery backup.

Our long driveway in Walton Hills slopes toward the garage. Could that wet the basement?

It can. A long driveway gathers a lot of water and sends it toward the house. A channel drain, regrading or interior drainage near that wall may be needed. We'll look at it during the inspection.

We lose power in Walton Hills storms sometimes. How do we keep the basement dry?

A battery backup sump pump takes over when the power goes out. It's especially useful on hillside lots where water keeps coming for hours. We'll install and test it with you.

Can you dry out a Walton Hills basement from inside without digging up the hillside?

In most cases, yes. An interior drain and sump handle groundwater from inside. Digging outside on a slope is rarely needed, and we'll tell you if your basement is an exception.

The uphill wall of our Walton Hills basement is always damp. What's that mean?

That wall gets the most water from the slope above, so it stays wet longest. A drain along its footing collects that water. We'll also check the wall for bowing, since wet soil pushes hard.

I've got musty air in my Walton Hills lower level. Is that a water problem?

Usually it's moisture coming through the walls or floor, even without puddles. We'll test for dampness and find the source. Drainage, sealing or a dehumidifier may be the answer.

How long does waterproofing a large Walton Hills basement take?

Most jobs take one to three days, and a very large basement can take a little longer. You'll have the schedule in writing before we start, and we clean up every day.

Is the waterproofing warranty on a Walton Hills home transferable?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers when you sell. Buyers see the basement was fixed and remains covered, which can make closing smoother.
