When Your Existing Water Control Methods Aren’t Enough

When Your Existing Water Control Methods Aren’t Enough

Heavy rains were bringing water into Lou’s basement, and he needed to do something about it.


Eco-Seal investigated at his home and found that several prevention methods – already in place – weren’t doing the trick. The house had an interior drainage system from when it was built, but it was not handling all the water. There was also a natural drain on the property, designed to draw water away from the home, but it was clogged and ineffective.


Our team dug up the wall where the worst of the water was coming in, built a new wall, and then performed an exterior waterproofing job. We also created a new natural drain and graded the land to move water away from pooling near the foundation.


Heavy rains have already occurred this spring and summer, and Lou’s basement is dry, thanks to the terrific work done by Eco-Seal.

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.
