Basement Waterproofing in Columbus, OH

Review Logo 4.2 (176)

Basements can serve as valuable extra space for your home, but they are also vulnerable to water ingress. In Columbus, the combination of around 37 inches of annual rainfall and the area's clay and silty soils can lead to moisture problems, especially when the drainage systems are overwhelmed. This excess water can seep into basements, causing issues such as leaks, mold growth, and structural damage. By utilizing Ohio Basement Authority's advanced waterproofing techniques, including sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and wall vapor barriers, you can effectively safeguard your basement from water damage, ensuring a dry and healthy environment.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Columbus

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
