Basement Waterproofing in Youngstown, OH

Review Logo 4.8 (2,851)

Basements are versatile spaces, but they can also be hazardous. These below-ground areas are naturally cool and damp, and they can fall victim to water damage. Leaks can happen when Youngstown's poorly drained silt loam and clay soils are overwhelmed with water from an average of 39 inches of annual rainfall and around 24 inches of annual snowfall. This soil expands and pushes against the walls, leading to cracks and leaks. Your home may also lack adequate foundation drainage or properly functioning sump pumps to handle all this water. Leaks are usually followed by musty smells, mold growth, efflorescence, flooding, and other damage. Nip these problems in the bud with Ohio Basement Authority's quality interior drainage, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, wall vapor barriers, and other permanent basement waterproofing solutions.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Youngstown

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.
