Our Tested Interior & Exterior Waterproofing Systems
At Stay Dry Ohio, we specialize in providing expert solutions for basement waterproofing issues. Our reliable basement waterproofing systems are thoroughly tested and come with a warranty for your peace of mind. If you’re facing a waterproofing problem in your basement or crawl space, our team of professionals is ready to help you select the ideal interior or exterior system tailored to your home’s needs.
- Interior Drainage Systems: Our interior basement drainage system is designed to keep your basement dry and free from water issues. This custom solution works by removing a section of the basement floor and installing a drainage channel along the wall. This system helps prevent water from wall cracks, window wells, and other exterior sources from reaching the basement floor, keeping your space safe and dry. For comprehensive protection, we often recommend installing a sump pump system in conjunction with the interior drainage system to ensure water is effectively directed out and away from your home.
- Interior Crack Repair: Foundation cracks are one of the leading causes of water intrusion in basements. Over time, these cracks can lead to water leaks and may even compromise your home’s structural support. We use advanced carbon fiber foundation repair products to seal these cracks, preventing further water damage and strengthening the wall. If carbon fiber isn’t suitable for the particular crack, we can use a crack injection method, which is also highly effective for waterproofing and restoring the wall’s integrity.
- French Drain System: A French drainage system, or weeping tile, is a trench with a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, designed to channel water away from your basement, yard, and downspout extensions. This system prevents both ground and surface water from building up around your foundation, which can otherwise lead to cracks and water leaks over time. By installing a French drain, we help keep your basement dry and safeguard the structural health of your foundation.
- Downspout Extensions: Downspout extensions are essential to keep water flowing safely away from your foundation. By extending the downspouts, water from your gutters is directed further from the house, reducing the risk of water pooling near the foundation and causing leaks in the basement. This simple solution is an effective way to help protect your home from water damage.
- Sump Pumps: Sump pumps are critical for basement waterproofing and flood prevention. These pumps remove incoming water and any standing water, especially from seepage through basement wall cracks. Hydrostatic pressure, often caused by heavy rain or improper yard grading, can force water into your basement, but a sump pump ensures that water is pumped out efficiently. Our installation is quick, seamless, and highly effective, and we recommend a battery backup to keep your sump pump running during power outages caused by severe storms.
- Yard Drainage Systems: Improving yard drainage is another key step in protecting your basement from water damage. By adjusting the grading around your home, we can help direct water flow away from your foundation, preventing it from seeping into your basement. Additionally, pairing this with downspout extensions ensures that rainwater is directed far enough from your home’s foundation, keeping your basement dry and structurally sound.
Exterior Waterproofing Solutions
On some occasions the best solution to prevent water infiltrating your home is to waterproof your basement from the outside. After removing the dirt around the perimeter of your home, our team can install specially designed water barriers to keep water off of the outside of your home. Once this is done we can connect the sump pump to an exterior drainage system to pump the water away from your home. If your home does not have a basement, our team can also inspect and waterproof crawl spaces. Often times the same issues may occur when your home has a crawl space instead of a basement.
Yard Drainage
An additional way to keep your basement dry is to improve your yard drainage. This will generally include some grading of the area around the house to ensure that it all slopes away from the foundation, keeping your basement dry.
