"Dry Basement/Yard ~ NO BULL"
Recognized & Trusted By
Interior Waterproofing
When water enters your basement through the walls or the floor-wall joint, an interior waterproofing system is the most reliable and cost-effective permanent solution. We jackhammer the slab 12–18 inches out from the foundation walls, hand-dig a perimeter trench down to the footer, and drill four weep holes into every block to release the hydrostatic pressure trapped inside the walls. We install a new 4-inch SDR35 double-perforated footer drain fully enclosed in a woven fabric pipe sock, bedded and covered in #57 river wash stone so the pipe is encapsulated on all sides. A 12–16-inch black air-gap dimple membrane strip is fastened up the wall and folded over the stone before we pour 2–3 inches of fast-setting concrete back over the trench. The footer drains are pitched 1/4-inch per foot to a perforated sump crock with a new 1 HP sump pump (battery backup available). Interior waterproofing is minimally disruptive, typically completed in one to two days, and delivers immediate, lasting results — backed by our unconditional “no bull” lifetime transferable warranty.
Our interior systems begin with a thorough inspection to identify every water entry point. We prep and isolate the work area and run commercial HEPA air scrubbers, a dust collector, and hose-attached jackhammers to control concrete dust. We jackhammer and excavate a perimeter trench along the inside of the foundation walls down to the footer. Weep holes are core-drilled with a 5/8-inch diamond bit — one in each block cavity and one in each mortar joint, 1–3 inches above the footer — to relieve wall-cavity hydrostatic pressure. A new 4-inch SDR35 double-perforated PVC footer drain, wrapped in a woven pipe sock to prevent clogging, is laid in a bed of #57 river wash stone and covered with more stone on all sides. A 12–16-inch black air-gap dimple membrane strip is secured to the wall with Hilti concrete nails, folded over the stone with 3–4 inches running up the wall above the new concrete. The stone is tamped and the floor is restored with 2–3 inches of fast-setting concrete with a hardener additive. The footer drains are pitched 1/4-inch per foot to a sump crock (perforated with 1/2-inch holes) holding a new 1 HP sump pump, with a backflow valve on the 1-1/2-inch Schedule 40 discharge line and a Watchdog battery backup available.

Exterior Waterproofing
Exterior waterproofing is the most comprehensive solution available — it stops water before it ever contacts your foundation. We excavate a 24-inch-wide trench down to the footer along the foundation walls, power-wash the wall, seal cracks and breaches with hydraulic water-stop cement, and apply two thick coats of Grey Shield premium acrylic foundation coating from the siding down to the footer tile. A DMX air-gap waterproof membrane sheet is installed from the footer up above grade. A new 4-inch SDR35 double-perforated footer drain — wrapped in a pipe sock — is bedded and covered in #57 river wash stone, separated from the backfill by a geotextile fabric layer, and pitched to a discharge point. This is the gold standard for homes with severe water intrusion, foundation deterioration, or where a permanent, root-cause solution is required.
We excavate a 24-inch-wide trench down to the footer tile along the foundation walls and power-wash all debris off the wall. Cracks and breaches are located and sealed with water-stop hydraulic cement. Two thick coats of Grey Shield premium foundation acrylic base coating — superior to basic tarring — are applied from just under the first row of siding to the base of the footer tile, sprayed with a commercial Graco sprayer for void-free coverage. DMX foundation air-gap membrane sheeting is installed from the bottom of the footer tile to about a foot above grade and secured with Hilti concrete nails, giving water an unobstructed channel down to the stone and footer drain. A 1-to-2-foot layer of #57 river wash stone is laid in the trench bed, a 4-inch SDR35 double-perforated footer drain wrapped in a pipe sock is installed, and the pipe is covered with another 1 to 2 feet of #57 river rock stone. A water-permeable geotextile fabric sheet is laid over the stone before backfill to keep dirt and debris out of the clean stone. The footer drain is pitched at 1/4-inch per foot toward the discharge point — an interior sump crock where applicable, reached by core-drilling through the concrete footer — and the trench is backfilled and graded.

Sump Pump Systems
Your sump pump is the heart of any basement waterproofing system — and it needs to be sized, installed, and backed up correctly. We install high-capacity primary pumps rated for Northeast Ohio's heavy rain events, paired with battery backup systems that activate automatically during power outages. Whether you need a new installation, a replacement, or a secondary backup system, we handle all brands and configurations. We also offer annual maintenance plans to keep your system reliable year-round.
We evaluate your sump pit size, water volume, and discharge distance to select the right pump for your home. Primary pumps are installed with check valves to prevent backflow and properly sized discharge lines that exit the home at a safe distance from the foundation. Battery backup systems use deep-cycle AGM batteries with automatic switchover, a high-water alarm, and a battery charge indicator. For homes with particularly high water tables or large drainage systems, we install dual primary pumps for redundancy.

Foundation Crack Repair
Foundation cracks are not just an entry point for water — left unaddressed, they can compromise the structural integrity of your home. We use professional-grade epoxy and polyurethane injection methods to permanently seal cracks from the inside, restoring the wall to its original strength. For bowing or laterally stressed walls, we install carbon fiber straps or wall anchors to halt movement and prevent further deterioration. Every repair begins with a thorough structural assessment to ensure the right method is used for each crack type.
Hairline and moderate cracks are sealed using low-pressure polyurethane foam injection, which expands to fill the entire crack and remains flexible to accommodate minor movement. Structural cracks — or those in critical load-bearing areas — are repaired with rigid epoxy injection, which bonds stronger than the original concrete. Horizontal cracks and bowing walls are addressed with carbon fiber reinforcement straps anchored to the floor joist system, or with helical wall anchors that tie into stable soil beyond the disturbed zone.

Carbon Fiber Wall Strapping
Bowing or leaning basement walls are a serious structural warning sign that requires immediate attention. Carbon fiber straps are the most effective, minimally invasive method to stop wall movement in its tracks. We epoxy-bond high-tensile carbon fiber straps directly to the face of your foundation wall, anchoring them to the floor slab and the floor joist system above. This creates an incredibly strong reinforcement that halts further inward movement without the need for excavation or wall replacement. Carbon fiber strapping is compatible with both poured concrete and concrete block walls and can be installed in a single day with virtually no disruption to your finished basement.
Before installation, we assess the degree of wall movement and determine whether the wall is actively moving or has stabilized. Each strap location is ground and cleaned to ensure a full epoxy bond. 120-by-12-inch high-tensile carbon fiber straps are saturated with a two-part structural epoxy (hardener and adhesive) and applied in vertical runs spaced roughly every 4 feet, depending on wall conditions. Top and bottom anchor plates are fastened to the floor slab and framing to complete the load transfer. Cracks under 1 inch are filled with an epoxy-polyethylene mixture; cracks over 1 inch are packed with hydraulic water-stop cement for added stability before strapping. The system cures and becomes fully load-bearing within 24 hours. Carbon fiber does not rust, corrode, or degrade, making it a truly permanent solution.

Yard Drainage Installation
A dry basement starts with a yard that drains properly. We design and install complete yard drainage systems that manage surface water, roof runoff, and groundwater — routing it away from your home before it can reach your foundation. Our drainage systems include French drains, catch basins, channel drains, underground downspout connections, and pop-up emitters, integrated into a single coordinated solution designed specifically for your property's grade and soil conditions.
We begin every drainage project with a site assessment, ideally during or after a rain event, to observe exactly where water flows and accumulates. French drains are installed in a 24-by-24-inch trench with a 6-to-10-inch bedding layer of smooth #57 river wash stone, a continuous 4-inch SDR35 triple-perforated pipe fully enclosed in a woven pipe sock, and an additional 6 to 10 inches of #57 river wash stone over the pipe, backfilled with soil and sod. Catch basins capture surface pooling at low points. Channel drains protect driveways, patios, and garage aprons. Underground downspout connections carry roof runoff 15 to 30 feet from the foundation before discharge. All components tie into a single exit point — a pop-up emitter, dry well, or storm drain where permitted.

Crawl Space Encapsulation
An unsealed crawl space is one of the most overlooked sources of moisture, mold, and energy loss in a home. Through a process called encapsulation, we seal your crawl space from the ground up — installing heavy-duty vapor barriers, sealing vents, and adding drainage and dehumidification as needed. The result is a clean, dry, conditioned space that improves air quality throughout the entire home and reduces heating and cooling costs.
Encapsulation begins with a thorough inspection and any necessary remediation of existing mold or standing water. We install a 20-mil reinforced polyethylene vapor barrier across the entire floor and up the foundation walls, sealed at all seams and penetrations. Foundation vents are sealed to prevent humid outdoor air from entering. A commercial-grade dehumidifier is installed and connected to a continuous drain, and a drainage channel and sump system is added when groundwater intrusion is present.

Sewer & Drainage Scope Camera Inspection
When drainage problems aren't visible from the surface, a camera inspection tells the whole story. We use professional-grade sewer scope cameras to inspect drain lines, sewer laterals, floor drains, and underground drainage piping — identifying blockages, root intrusion, pipe collapse, offset joints, and deterioration with precision. Camera inspections are essential before purchasing a home, diagnosing recurring drainage problems, or planning any drainage repair or waterproofing project.
Our camera equipment transmits live, high-definition video from inside your pipes directly to a monitor, allowing us to pinpoint the exact location and nature of any problem. We can access lines through clean-outs, floor drains, and exterior access points. After the inspection, you receive a recorded video of the findings along with a written report and our recommendations. Camera inspections are often the fastest and most accurate way to diagnose a drainage issue and avoid unnecessary excavation.

Mold Remediation
Mold is a serious health hazard — and in basements and crawl spaces, it's a direct result of uncontrolled moisture. Our mold remediation services safely remove existing mold growth, treat affected surfaces with EPA-registered antimicrobial agents, and address the underlying moisture source to prevent recurrence. We follow industry-standard containment and removal protocols to protect your family and prevent cross-contamination to other areas of the home.
Our remediation process begins with a thorough assessment to determine the extent of mold growth and identify all moisture sources. Affected areas are contained using negative air pressure and polyethylene barriers. Mold-infested materials that cannot be cleaned — such as drywall and wood framing — are carefully removed and disposed of. All surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed, treated with antimicrobial solution, and allowed to dry before restoration. A post-remediation clearance test is offered to verify the work is complete. We then address the moisture source — whether drainage, waterproofing, or encapsulation — to ensure mold does not return.

Water Damage Cleanup & Restoration
When water damage strikes — whether from a flooded basement, burst pipe, sump pump failure, or sewage backup — fast response is critical. We provide professional water extraction, drying, and structural restoration services to minimize damage and get your home back to normal as quickly as possible. Our team responds promptly to emergencies and works systematically to remove water, dry the structure, and restore affected materials.
Our cleanup process begins with water extraction using truck-mounted and portable extraction equipment capable of removing hundreds of gallons per hour. Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers are strategically placed to dry walls, floors, and structural components as quickly as possible, minimizing secondary damage and mold risk. Moisture readings are taken throughout the drying process to track progress and ensure materials reach safe levels before restoration begins. Restoration includes replacing drywall, flooring, insulation, and other damaged materials as needed.

Air Purifier & Dehumidifier Installation
Controlling humidity and air quality in your basement and crawl space is essential for preventing mold, protecting belongings, and maintaining healthy indoor air throughout your home. We install commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air purification systems designed for the demanding conditions of below-grade spaces — far more effective than consumer units available at hardware stores. Proper equipment sizing, placement, and drainage configuration ensures your system runs efficiently without constant maintenance.
We assess your basement or crawl space volume, current moisture levels, and any active water sources to select the right equipment for your specific conditions. Commercial dehumidifiers are installed with a direct-to-drain connection so the unit never needs manual emptying. High-efficiency air purifiers with HEPA and activated carbon filtration remove mold spores, allergens, VOCs, and odors. All units are installed with accessible service points and can be monitored remotely via Wi-Fi on supported models.

Radon Gas Mitigation
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps through soil and rock into homes through foundation cracks, floor joints, and sump pits. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and cannot be detected without testing. If your home tests above 4 pCi/L — the EPA action level — radon mitigation is strongly recommended. We install sub-slab depressurization systems that draw radon from beneath your foundation and vent it safely above the roofline, reducing indoor levels by up to 99%.
Our mitigation systems use a suction point installed through the basement floor slab, connected to a PVC pipe that runs through the home to a fan mounted on the exterior or in the attic. The fan creates a slight negative pressure beneath the slab, drawing radon out before it can enter the living space. The system runs continuously and quietly on very little electricity. A post-mitigation radon test is performed 24 to 48 hours after installation to verify the system is achieving the target reduction. All systems include a system failure indicator that alerts you if the fan stops working.
