The Ohio Basement Systems Process
Basement Problem Signs in Cleveland, OH
Basement problems are more than just obvious flooding or standing water on your basement floor. Many other issues will be visible not only in your basement, but the rest of your Cleveland home, as well. These include musty odors, mold growth, efflorescence, elevated humidity, wet drywall, condensation, leaking windows, and leaking floors and walls. Addressing these problems as soon as you notice them is crucial, as they will only continue to worsen over time, become more hazardous, and eventually be more expensive to repair. If you are unsure about what to look for, don’t hesitate to reach out to our experts for a free inspection.
Common Causes of Basement Damage in Cleveland
Problems in your Cleveland basement can happen for many reasons, including internal leaks from water heaters and broken sump pumps. However, the soil on your property is responsible for most causes of basement damage. Cleveland’s varied silt loam, silty clay loam, and clay soils can easily become unstable due to poor compaction, shrinking and drying, and wetting and softening. The soil is generally moist year-round from the 38 inches of rain and 54 inches of snow Cleveland receives annually. This wet soil can form an artificial water table around your home and contribute to hydrostatic pressure that results in cracks and leaks. Your foundation also may lack proper drainage to handle all this water and runoff.

DIY fixes like “waterproof” paints and sealants are not the answer for a dry basement. It’s best to have more efficient and reliable basement waterproofing solutions professionally installed.
