Basement Waterproofing Contractors in Cleveland Ohio

Reliable Basement and Drain is proud to provide basement waterproofing repair services to the Cleveland Ohio metropolitan areas, and we have many years of experience getting the job done right for our customers.

There are generally two kinds of basement waterproofing repairs that a company or contractor can perform on your home: internal (or interior) waterproofing, and external (or exterior) waterproofing.  While waterproofing the inside of your basement walls is a good thing and can make your home look more attractive, the only way to really solve the problem of foundation damage is with external basement waterproofing.

The weather in Columbus and Cleveland–and most of Ohio, for that matter–is very rainy during large portions of the year, and the ground tends to quickly become saturated with water.  This water in the soil surrounding your home’s foundation exerts hydrostatic pressure on your basement walls and even the floor, and over time this can cause cracks, leaking, moisture, dampness, mold and mildew, and even flooding if it gets bad enough.

Homes in Ohio are built with perforated footer drain tiles surrounding the foundation.  These footer drains take excess water away from the home and deposit it elsewhere, where it cannot damage your basement.  Over time, however, your footer drains can become clogged, blocked or broken, and if they aren’t properly cleaned or repaired, hydrostatic pressure can again start building up on your basement walls.

It is not possible to simply clean footer drain tiles with a sewer snake auger like your basement floor drain.  Instead, you must use a professional high-pressure water jetting system to really blast out obstructions.  Reliable Basement and Drain has the best water jetting systems available, and our workers are trained in using excavation equipment to access your home’s footer drains quickly and without damaging your property.
