Basement Waterproofing in Wilmot, OH

Our Wilmot cellar floods a few inches every spring. Can't that be stopped for good?

Yes. A drain along the footing collects water before it spreads across the floor and sends it to a sump. The pump carries it outside. With a battery backup, it keeps working through spring storms and outages.

The cellar under my Wilmot house has a dirt floor. Is it still possible to waterproof it if there's no concrete?

Yes. We install drainage along the walls and a sump, then pour a concrete floor over the soil. That stops water from rising up and cuts down the dampness a lot.

Water runs off our Wilmot barn roof toward the house. Could that flood the basement?

Yes, if the ground between them slopes toward the house. That runoff soaks in right at the foundation. We'll look at the grade and suggest ways to redirect it, plus drainage inside if water already gets in.

We lose power a lot out here near Wilmot. What keeps the sump running?

A battery backup sump pump. It turns on when the power fails or the main pump can't keep up. We can add one to an existing pit or include it in a new system.

Can you waterproof a Wilmot basement without digging around the foundation?

Yes, in most cases. Interior drainage and a sump handle groundwater from inside. Exterior digging is only needed in certain situations, and we'll tell you if yours is one.

My Wilmot basement smells musty even though I never see water. What should I check?

Moisture may be coming through the walls as vapor, or from a nearby crawl space. We'll check for hidden seepage and humidity. A dehumidifier, vapor barrier or drainage may be the answer.

Will waterproofing make our old Wilmot stone cellar feel like a finished room?

It will stop standing water and floor seepage. Stone walls may still feel cool, so a membrane and dehumidifier help. We'll explain what to expect before you decide.

How long's waterproofing going to take for our Wilmot home?

Most jobs take one to three days. Cellars with dirt floors or crawl space work can add time. The schedule is in writing before we start, and we clean up each day.

If we sell our Wilmot property, does the waterproofing warranty go with it?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the buyer. It shows the basement was fixed and is covered, which can help the sale.
