Akron, OH's Trusted Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

Once the rainy season hit Northeast Ohio, one Akron homeowner realized he needed to do something about his damp crawl space. He had heard horror stories about mold and mildew causing health issues for homeowners, so he didn't want to take any chances. After some research, he decided to hire The Basement Guys® to waterproof his crawl space.

We devised a multi-stage plan to ensure the crawl space would remain dry for years to come. Our team began by installing a SuperSump® sump pump in the floor to ensure any excess water would be properly drained out of the space. Then, we laid down a layer of CleanSpace drainage matting on the unfinished floor to provide a clear path for any water to flow out towards the pump system for removal. Lastly, we installed SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation along the walls to prevent any moisture and air pockets from seeping into the home.

With the new waterproofing system in place, the homeowner could rest easy knowing his crawl space was protected from any potential water damage. Could you use the same comfort? Give us a call today to schedule your free no-obligation crawl space waterproofing estimate.

Mercedes M. of Copley, Ohio had always enjoyed spending time on her backyard patio, surrounded by her beautiful garden and the peaceful sounds of nature. However, over the years, the concrete surface had become uneven and cracked, ruining its aesthetic appeal and risking damage to the space. Frustrated with the situation, she contacted The Basement Guys® for help.

Our concrete repair team suggested leveling the sunken concrete with PolyLevel® expanding foam injections and sealing the cracks with NexusPro silicone sealant. This two-step approach would ensure a safe and level surface without problematic gaps between the slabs.

We began by drilling small holes into the concrete and injecting the polyurethane foam solution underneath, which pushed the concrete back in place as it expanded and hardened. Next, we meticulously applied watertight NexusPro sealant to the cracks to make sure that the patio would remain in optimal condition for years to come.

Once the work was complete, Mercedes was thrilled that her backyard oasis was now safe and secure. Looking to experience the same peace of mind about your concrete patio, driveway, pool deck and beyond? Give us a call today to get started with a free concrete repair estimate.

After over twenty years in the same home, the development of a musty smell and dampness in the basement left one Akron, Ohio family concerned. Concerned about potential water damage and mold growth, they decided to hire a team from The Basement Guys® to install some safety measures.

We began the process by digging trenches around the perimeter of the basement to install WaterGuard® French drains. The unique design of these low-profile drains allow them to discreetly catch and divert water from cracks in the foundation before they leak into the home. Once the drains were in place, we connected them to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump, featuring two built-in failsafe units to handle everything from major floods to power outages. Then, to address the dank atmosphere, we installed a portable SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity levels in the basement.

The whole household was thrilled with the results. The basement was now dry and free of the musty smell, and once again ready to be used for storage or as a living space. Whether you need some minor cracks sealed or a total waterproofing overhaul, our professional waterproofing team can handle your home's needs.

After years of saving, one Akron, Ohio resident finally found her dream home. However, she quickly discovered that her new home had a serious problem: a damp, leaky basement.

Determined to fix the issue quickly, the new homeowner reached out to The Basement Guys® After a thorough walkthrough, our waterproofing team recommended she install new perimeter drains and vapor-resistant wall coverings in the basement.

With the plan set, our team began by excavating the perimeter of the basement and installing a WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system to divert water away from the foundation. We were able to connect this new drain line to the home's existing sump pump for easy removal. Then, we installed BrightWall® rigid plastic wall coverings to prevent moisture from seeping through the walls. In addition to a bright white exterior, this wall cover system includes antimicrobial vapor protection.

For one Akron, Ohio homeowner, a springy, loose-feeling floor was a sign of worse problems to come. She was concerned that the brick and mortar support beams in the crawl space under her home were beginning to fail. Concrete foundation supports are susceptible to settlement issues, as the heavy concrete is pushed into the soil by the weight of the home without anything in place to prevent it from sinking. After a visit from The Basement Guys®, we were able to recommend a fix.

Our SmartJack® crawl space support system is designed to resist the settlement issues that lesser support beams are vulnerable to. The solid galvanized steel support beams are water-resistant and rustproof, providing a stable base for the foundation that also resists settlement. Meanwhile, adjustable heads can be tightened to form a perfect brace for the floor joists above, maintaining a stable, level surface for years to come.

Thanks to the SmartJack® system, this home was safe from future settlement issues in the crawl space. To learn more about the benefits of SmartJack® support, call The Basement Guys® today and request a free estimate.

A homeowner in Akron, Ohio experienced leaks in the walls of his basement. While nothing major, it indicated that it was time to update the home's drainage system for efficient water removal. After placing a call to The Basement Guys® for a free in-home estimate, we worked together to devise the ideal solution.

French drains, or perimeter drains, are interior drainage systems designed to collect water in the basement and reroute it to a sump pump for removal. Traditionally, French drains are installed along the perimeter walls of the basement, but this placement leaves them susceptible to clogging. Thankfully, our WaterGuard® underground French drain system includes several design features to mitigate that risk.

For this home, we installed WaterGuard® drains underneath the concrete slab floor to create an extra barrier against clogging debris. Once the pipes are in place and paved over, this has the added benefit of providing a clean and finished appearance for your basement floor.

We connected the WaterGuard® line to the home's existing sump pump system for fast and efficient water removal. Curious to see how our basement waterproofing services could work for your home? Call The Basement Guys® today for a free estimate.

Mary K., a homeowner in Akron, Ohio, discovered a few cracks in her basement foundation walls. The cracks varied in size and width, but they were all either vertical or diagonal across the interior surface of the walls. To patch these cracks, Mary needed help from The Basement Guys®.

Vertical cracks in the foundation are typically caused by natural settlement or shrinkage of the foundation. While they may be annoying to deal with, they are generally not indicative of serious structural problems with your foundation. Thankfully, these cracks are easily fixed with FlexiSpan® sealant.

Our foundation repair team applied the flexible sealant to each crack that had appeared. Then, we fitted a porous foam over the cracks and installed a leak-resistant membrane on each side of the crack sites to prevent water intrusion.

The FlexiSpan® system is ideal for simple, noninvasive basement crack repair. To learn more about how this system can work for you, contact The Basement Guys® for a free estimate today.

Mrs. Legg knew this day was coming and it was finally time to repair her Akron, OH foundation. Several local companies visited her home to inspect her issues, one of those companies was The Basement Guys. 

Our Basement Professional, Jeff, was very excited to help Mrs. Legg. He walked around the entire basement and the exterior foundation examining everything Mrs. Legg mentioned. He saw where her foundation was sinking and he did see some water pooling in her basement. After the walkthrough was finished, Jeff sat down with the homeowner to explained all the ways The Basement Guys can help. Jeff did indicate that her foundation is sinking which is causing that water to pool on the opposite side of the foundation problems. 

Our professional recommendation is to install two Push Piers that will prevent any further foundation sinking and to waterproof her basement with our WaterGuard® System. After a couple of days of getting other estimates, Mrs. Legg loved everything The Basement Guys had to offer. 

Mrs. Legg’s project is starting in a couple of days and we are excited to help another member of their community! Installing push piers is the best way to stop the foundation of your home from sinking, for more information about the foundation pier, please visit our website.
