Foundation and waterproofing service in Montgomery County, OH

Montgomery County sits where the Great Miami and Mad rivers come together, and that river-valley ground is the reason basements here take a beating from two directions at once. The soil is heavy clay that swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries, and it pushes on a foundation wall until the wall bows or cracks. At the same time the water table runs high, and hydrostatic pressure drives water through cracks and the cove joint where the wall meets the floor. One is a structural problem, the other is a water problem, and from inside a basement they can look the same.

That is why the first job on any Montgomery County basement is telling the two apart. A horizontal crack across a block wall is not the same as a wet floor after a storm, and the repair is different for each. We evaluate the wall and the water together across Dayton, Kettering, Centerville, Huber Heights, Miamisburg, Vandalia and Oakwood, then give you a written scope for the problem you actually have.
