jD Johnson Waterproofing

For years, JD Johnson Waterproofing has been a trusted name in Cleveland and the surrounding areas for basement waterproofing and foundation repair. As demand for our services grew, we recognized the need to expand, modernize, and improve the way we serve our customers. That’s why we’ve rebranded to Engineered Waterproofing — a name that reflects our commitment to delivering advanced solutions with the same reliability you’ve always counted on.

Engineered Waterproofing builds on the strong foundation created by JD Johnson Waterproofing, but with an expanded team, improved technology, and a broader range of services. From basement waterproofing and foundation repair to drainage systems and crawl space protection, we provide engineered solutions designed to meet the unique needs of homes in Northeast Ohio.

If you’re looking for JD Johnson Waterproofing, you’re in the right place. We’re still the same dedicated team you know—now operating as Engineered Waterproofing to offer you better service, faster response times, and long-lasting results. Looking to get a quote?

Our History

In 1998, Rusty and Jay D. Johnson founded J.D. Johnson Waterproofing. Their company has utilized their experience in not only waterproofing, but also in-house structural foundation repair solutions. In order to keep expanding and providing quality services, J.D. Johnson Waterproofing partnered with Engineered Construction, LLC in late 2023 to better serve not only the smaller residential projects but also commercial projects in Northeast Ohio. In 2024, Engineered Construction, LLC unified the company name and logos to now act as d.b.a. Engineered Waterproofing.

After building excellent customer relationships since 1997, we are proud to call ourselves a trusted and professional waterproofing contractor. We provide the highest caliber of workmanship and most affordable prices possible. Please contact us for a free written estimate and to learn about our transferable warranties. Our main goal is to get the job done right the first time! We want every customer of ours to feel confident that when the job is done, they no longer need to worry about the serious problem that water intrusion can be. We know that if given the opportunity to identify the problem, and explain in person our solution, that you will feel confident that your water problem is over. We take our cleanup process just as seriously. We want to repair the water problem that you have in and around your home and leave as if it never happened.
