Basement Waterproofing in Urbana, OH

Review Logo 4.2 (174)

Urbana, Ohio experiences an average annual precipitation of 40 inches of rain and about 17 inches of snow, which can create significant challenges for homeowners. The local soil composition, primarily silt loam and silty clay, can absorb this moisture, leading to an increased risk of basement flooding and water intrusion. As these soils expand and exert pressure on basement walls, they can cause cracks and other structural issues. To combat these problems, Ohio Basement Authority provides effective basement waterproofing solutions such as interior drainage systems, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and wall vapor barriers, ensuring your basement remains dry and secure.

Ohio Basement Authority, a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to delivering high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service throughout the Urbana area. With over two decades of experience, our fully trained technicians utilize industry-leading products and offer nationally backed warranties for all our services, including foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete lifting. We understand the importance of maintaining a dry and healthy basement for your family's well-being and your home's structural integrity.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Urbana

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
