Basement Waterproofing in West Salem, OH

A crack in my West Salem basement wall drips only during big storms. Can you seal it?

Yes. We inject the crack with epoxy or polyurethane from inside, which fills it through the full wall. Heavy storms raise pressure enough to push water through, so sealing it stops the drip.

Water weeps around the pipe where our water line enters the West Salem basement. What's the fix?

That gap is a common leak point. We seal around the pipe from inside so it stays watertight. If other areas are also leaking, we'll recommend drainage to relieve the pressure.

I patched my West Salem basement cracks with hydraulic cement. Why didn't it last?

Patches sit on the surface, and water pressure behind the wall pushes them loose. Injection fills the crack through its full depth, and drainage relieves the pressure so the repair holds.

There's a thin film of water across my West Salem basement floor after rain. Where's it from?

That's usually water crossing the cove joint, the seam where the wall meets the floor. A drain along that seam at the footing catches it below the slab and sends it to a sump.

Our West Salem floor cracks darken every spring. Should we worry?

It means moisture is coming up from below when the ground is wettest. A footing drain lowers the water under your house, and the cracks can be sealed once the pressure is relieved.

How long will the crew be at my West Salem house?

Crack injection alone is a shorter job. A full drainage system usually takes one to three days. You'll get the schedule in writing before we start.

We're thinking about finishing our West Salem basement. What should we fix first?

Seal every leaking crack and pipe gap, and add drainage if the floor seam leaks. Once humidity is under control too, finishing is much safer.

My West Salem basement has never had a sump pump. Do I need one?

Only if you need drainage. Crack injection alone doesn't require a sump, but a perimeter drain does. We'll tell you at the inspection which fits your basement.

Does the lifetime warranty transfer if I sell my West Salem home?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and goes to the next owner. It gives buyers a clear answer about any past leaks and the repair.
