Westfield Center is right in our backyard. We fix wet basements with drainage and dependable sump pumps, starting with a free inspection and ending with a transferable lifetime warranty.
Westfield Center is a small village with a mix of older homes and newer places, all built on the same thick clay. That clay does not let water pass through quickly. After a wet week in spring or fall, the soil around your foundation stays saturated and leans on the walls, and the weakest spots give way first. For most homes that means the joint at the bottom of the wall.
A lot of village homes already have a sump pump, and many of those pumps have been running for years. Pumps wear out, float switches stick and check valves fail, often without any warning. When a pump quits during a storm, the pit overflows and the basement floods even though the house technically has a waterproofing system. Many owners never check the pump until the day it stops.
Humidity is the quieter problem. A basement can go months without a puddle and still feel damp, smell musty and grow mildew on stored boxes. That moisture comes through the walls and floor as vapor. It often gets worse in summer, when warm, humid air meets cool basement walls and condenses on them, leaving the room clammy. Stored items, furniture and anything made of wood or paper pick up that dampness and start to smell.
If the basement is taking water, we install an interior drain around the footing and tie it into a sump pit. If you already have a pit, we check its size, the pump, the float and the check valve, and replace what is worn. A battery backup pump can take over if the main pump or the power fails.
For damp air, we seal the walls with a vapor-resistant membrane and add a dehumidifier sized for the space, drained to the sump so there is no bucket to empty. Leaking cracks get injection. We also look at gutters and downspouts, since clearing roof water away from the walls reduces how hard the whole system has to work.
Many Westfield Center homes already have a sump that's getting old, so our work here pairs new footing drainage with a dependable pump, a backup and real humidity control.
A perimeter drain captures water at the wall-floor joint and routes it to your sump before it reaches the floor.
A durable moisture barrier directs wall seepage into the drain and keeps the space dry and bright.
Collected water is moved out and away from your foundation by a high-capacity sump system.
The most common entry points are sealed watertight as part of the complete system.
You work directly with the All American team at every step.

Mike and Ken and the other workers, what can I say? They have gone above and beyond for us. This has been a very challenging job, and Mike the owner has been back several times to make it right.
Positive experience from start to finish. Scheduled the estimate within days and got us right on the calendar for the repair. Ken was great to work with and answered my numerous questions with patience. The crew arrived on time.
Brian was the lead on the job, him and his crew were absolutely astounding. They worked extremely hard and I commend them for their professionalism and their knowledge.
Pumps wear out, float switches stick and check valves fail, often with no warning. When that happens during a storm the pit overflows. We inspect the whole setup and replace the parts that are worn.
Signs include a pump that runs constantly, cycles on and off quickly, hums without pumping or makes grinding noises. Rust and an old float are warnings too. We can test it during a free inspection.
Moisture moves through walls and floors as vapor, even without puddles. That raises humidity and feeds mildew. A wall membrane and a dehumidifier drained to the sump usually clears it up.
It's common. Warm, humid air meets cool basement walls and condenses on them. A dehumidifier sized for the room keeps the air dry, and sealing the walls cuts down on moisture coming in.
If your basement depends on the pump, a backup is worth it. It runs if the main pump quits or the power goes out. You can also add an alarm that warns you if the water level rises.
The seam where the wall meets the floor is the weakest spot in any basement. When the clay outside is saturated, water pushes through it first. An interior drain along the footing relieves that pressure.
Yes. We install units with a drain line that runs to the sump or a floor drain. It runs on its own, so there's no bucket to empty.
Most jobs take one to three days. A pump replacement or dehumidifier install on its own is usually quicker, and you'll get the schedule ahead of time.
Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the next owner, so the protection stays with the house when you sell. Buyers get the same written coverage you had.
