Jenny’s Appraisal Problem – Cardington, OH

Jenny’s Appraisal Problem – Cardington, OH

Jenny wanted to purchase a 22-year-old house from her parents in Cardington, OH. When she was having it appraised to arrive at a fair purchase price, the appraiser noticed that both the front and back walls of the house were bowed inward. This major structural problem led to Jenny being denied a mortgage loan from the bank until the issue was resolved.


Jenny was referred to Eco-Seal by one of our new construction partners, Fairview Log Homes. She had us prepare a quote to fix the walls, but when we heard that she was planning to create a bedroom for her son in the basement, we also suggested putting in an egress window down there, in case of emergency. Jenny was surprised to hear that we offered that as one of our services and was extremely glad that we cared enough to offer it for her son’s safety.


We completed both jobs, rendering the house eligible for a mortgage, and Jenny and her son are happy in their new home. While onsite, we also noticed some leakage from the overflow pipe around a pond on the property, so we shored it up as well, free of charge.


Delighted, Jenny sent us this text soon after: “Thanks so much for all the kindness and respect everyone gave to us. You guys are the BEST! What a wonderful crew! They worked hard as a team and got it done. Our egress window looks excellent and I really like it.”

When Jesse and Chelsea were preparing to purchase their new home near Akron, they scheduled a standard home inspection, which didn’t reveal any issues. Unfortunately, when they moved in it became clear that there had been leaks in the basement, which the previous owners had tried unsuccessfully to remedy with DRYLOK and then covered up with lots of boxes.

Jason purchased the home that he grew up in from his parents, knowing that they had been having water issues for years, but also knowing that he wanted to stop the problem. His hope was to finish the basement and add living space to the home, so he needed to get it remedied.

Andy did the good turn of purchasing a house for his daughter, but soon found that there were some issues. At the back of the house, there was a large hill that was exerting pressure on the foundation and pushing it in about six inches, rendering the structure unstable.

Sometimes the solution to your problems is right under your nose. Jeremy, a photographer who captures images for our website and some of our other marketing materials, has slowly been getting an education about all that Eco-Seal has to offer: waterproofing, foundation repair, french drains, basement exits and windows, and more. As he was doing some renovations to his home in Canton, getting ready to put it on the market, Jeremy noticed water along the basement wall at the front of his home. Thankfully, he knew exactly who to call, and our Eco-Seal team was quickly on the scene.
