Fix your Basments Mold and Moisture Issues
Basements are prone to high humidity and leaks, creating the perfect environment for mold growth. A damp, musty basement can make selling your home difficult—many buyers walk away at the first sign of water damage or mold. If you live in Geauga County or the surrounding areas, basement waterproofing is essential to protecting your home’s value.
At Engineered Waterproofing, we offer a transferable warranty, providing long-term protection and giving potential buyers peace of mind that your basement will stay dry and mold-free.
Interior Drainage
Engineered Waterproofing can resolve your basement water issues from the inside by redirecting foundation water with a moisture barrier to a french drain that discharges to an interior sump pump system.
OUR PROCESS
Step 1
Concrete floor perimeter is removed. Trench is dug for clean gravel base and draintile.
Step 2
Weep holes are drilled in the base of the basement wall blocks (if traditional concrete masonry unit blocks).
Step 3
Install a non-porous moisture barrier and add clean gravel over the draintile then lay in new concrete over the gravel layer.
Step 4
Install perforated sump basin and professional sump pump that redirects water collected from draintile to the storm sewer system.
Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair
If your crawl space is damp or musty, it can affect your entire house. Mold, mildew, and wood rot are common by-products of a crawl space high in moisture content. Engineered Waterproofing offers various crawl space solutions, including vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and much more.
Engineered Waterproofing achieves this through the use of a highly durable product known as a vapor barrier. The vapor barrier is a thick, fiber reinforced flexible membrane that is installed on the walls and dirt floor. Thereby sealing out moisture and ground vapors
Yard Drainage Solutions
Yard drainage issues are just one of the many ways Engineered Waterproofing can help protect your foundation from water damage. If water is pooling near your home, it can lead to seepage, foundation settlement, and other basement concerns. Our team provides effective solutions to keep water moving away from your home by ensuring proper drainage from gutters, downspouts, and window wells.
Excess moisture in your yard can be a serious problem. Over time, this water seeps into the water table and can enter your basement through the cove joint or cracks in the floor and walls. Additionally, excessive groundwater increases pressure on foundation walls, leading to bowing, leaning, and cracking.
If you’re dealing with standing water in your yard or worried about its impact on your foundation, we’re here to help. Contact our team today for a free estimate on yard drainage solutions for your home.
Exterior Waterproofing
Engineered Waterproofing offers exterior solutions to keep your basement dry. We install Schedule 35 drain tile system along the foundation footing, surrounded by #57 washed gravel to effectively channel water away. Wall cracks are sealed and protected with dimple board, guiding moisture safely into the drainage system. To manage runoff, we also install new Schedule 35 solid downspout piping, connecting it to the storm system for proper water flow. After backfilling, the area is graded to ensure efficient drainage.
Sump Pump Installation
A reliable sump pump is essential for keeping your basement dry, efficiently removing standing water caused by heavy rain or rising groundwater. Our interior drainage system includes a high-performance sump pump and perforated crock, seamlessly integrated with the storm drainage system for optimal water management.
To ensure continuous protection during power outages, we strongly recommend a backup battery sump pump system. This secondary pump keeps water moving even during heavy storms when power failures are most common. Engineered Waterproofing offers sump pump installation, replacement, and maintenance, as well as battery backup systems to enhance the reliability of your existing sump pump.
