"Jake and his crew from The Ohio Basement Company did incredible work, I am so happy with the sump pump system they installed. Not only did they do a great job, they left my basement in better condition than when they found it. Washer and Dryer were leveled and the framing that had to be removed was put back in better condition. Such a nice group of guys, I highly recommend them!!"

"Rick and his crew did a great job on our basement waterproofing job! The overall value of the work is excellent. I got quotes significantly higher from other companies and I doubt the quality would have been any better. I would HIGHLY recommend Precision Waterproofing."

"They did a great job waterproofing the back wall of our basement. They were quick, efficient and treated the mold before covering the wall with vinyl. They had the best price. I would rate 5 stars if they cleaned up a bit better than they did plus they left the water dripping in my basement sink. Overall, I would recommend them for the work they did."

The men that came to actually do the job were Awesome, they worked efficiently and did exactly what was requested in not only a timely fashion but in a proficient manner and went out of their way to come prepared and answered any additional questions we had at the time of the project. I would without reservation Highly Recommend USA Waterproofing, you will not be disappointed!!

"Installed an egress window which required cutting through thick poured concrete walls. Great service. Eco Seal provided a thorough, quick, and price competitive quote. They got me on the schedule quickly and the work was performed by polite and respective people that cleaned up after themselves. I would choose them again."

"I am very, very pleased with the services of All County Drainage Contractors. I needed to have my kitchen sink unclogged and I was concerned about an interruption in hot water to my bathtub. I thought the problem was in the tub plumbing -- but turns out it wasn't. I had even purchased a new tub/shower kit! All County clearly explained I didn't need the kit; assured me that mine was sound, and they showed me the cause of the problem -- the water heater setting -- which was corrected at no cost. I was very appreciative of their advice. Their prices were very fair -- especially for a senior citizen. I had another plumber come out and give me an estimate -- which was astronomical -- and the plumbing company's rep never even went to the basement to see what could be causing the problem! Two other plumbers quoted prices 2-3 times higher -- without every coming to my home and knowing what I needed! Customers are wise to get 3-5 estimates on a home improvement job, if possible. There are so many unscrupulous contractors out there. When I find a good, honest, reasonably priced contractor, they can be assured I will stick with them -- as I will with All County Drainage. I want to bring my laundry room from the basement to the main floor. All County will be my plumber of choice once I figure out what I need! I trust their work and their advice!"

"I had a pretty bad flood in my basement after the heavy storms that came through back in June. I realized that my sump pump was the reason so I needed to replace it. I wanted something with more horsepower and after doing some research, I decided an ejector pump would work best for my home. Tyler was very friendly and understanding of my situation. He told me about some options, gave me the literature and a fair price for what I wanted. He and his team were very professional and attentive and definitely knowledgeable about the equipment and installation process. I was a little apprehensive about going with a company that’s just starting out, but Tyler gave me a good feeling about their company and products. I’m very happy with the installation and the service I received. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact them again (although I hope I never have to) for any future needs. We have multiple rental properties, so I would call him first if I ever need service at any of them. A+++"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In Akron, basement waterproofing maintenance should include annual sump pump testing, clearing foundation drainage pipes, and inspecting waterproofing membranes for wear. Each spring, check gutters and downspouts for blockages, and in fall, remove debris from exterior drains. Due to Akron’s clay soil, monitor for pooling water near the foundation and schedule professional mold prevention inspections every few years to catch hidden moisture issues early.

Helpful?

In Akron, unexpected costs can arise from extra time needed to excavate dense clay soil, repairing hidden foundation cracks, or upgrading drainage systems to meet code. Mold remediation may be necessary if moisture is discovered behind walls. Additional expenses sometimes include restoring landscaping, rerouting utility lines, or installing backup sump pumps if water tables are high, especially during wet seasons.

Helpful?

Akron’s heavy spring rains, humid summers, and freeze-thaw cycles increase the risk of basement leaks and foundation drainage problems. Spring is ideal for exterior waterproofing since soil is softer and easier to work with, while interior projects can be done year-round. The region’s clay soil expands during wet weather, so waterproofing systems must be robust to handle shifting and prevent water intrusion.

Helpful?

When hiring in Akron, look for contractors with proven experience handling local clay soil and older foundations. Ask about their process for foundation drainage, request references from recent Akron projects, and ensure they offer written warranties. Confirm they carry insurance for excavation work and understand local permit requirements. Reliable pros will explain how they address soil movement and provide detailed, transparent project plans.

Helpful?

Akron homeowners should check if permits are needed and ensure new drainage solutions comply with local stormwater management rules. Notify neighbors if exterior work could impact shared property lines, and protect existing landscaping. In historic neighborhoods, extra guidelines may apply. Before digging, have utility lines marked. Book reputable contractors early for spring projects, and confirm that any waterproofing warranty can transfer to future buyers.
