"I could not agree more with the other positive reviews. Tom and his crew were honest and diligent. Tom was up front about how bad off our situation was and was able to clearly explain how he would fix it without out ever pressuring a sale. He finished with in the time frame he said even with the bad weather and with set backs due to how my system was set up. His work and customer service speaks for it's self. I put a lot of trust in him with this huge investment to my home and I would hire him again. I will most definitely be recommending him to friends who need waterproofing work."

"Steve arrived on time to inspect the basement of our family home for mold. He was very professional and thorough in his review of our our basement walls and spaces, and informed us we need to remove some old paneling and ceiling tiles, and could do much of the needed cleaning on our own. We appreciate Steve's honesty and taking his time to explain things to us in easy to understand language and providing additional tips to keep good air quality in our basement. We will highly recommend AirGuard to our family and friends for similar services."

"ErieHome waterproofed my basement. The crew was polite, kind, and came in, did an excellent job in 3 days by digging a trench on the inside of the basement, removing the dirt from the bottom of the foundation, installed corrugated tubing, rock and then cement. They also installed a Humidex airpurifier and new sump pump with a backup pump. They cleaned up afterward. Any questions I had were answered in a respectful manor. I now have peace of mind knowing that I no longer have to monitor weather forecasts for rain or have to clean up anymore incoming water. The system is warranted for the life of the house and included within the price, which increased the value of my home."

"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

Lorain homeowners are increasingly choosing integrated basement waterproofing systems that combine interior French drains with exterior barriers. Smart sump pump monitors and humidity sensors are gaining popularity for real-time alerts. Many opt for vapor barriers that allow for future basement finishing, and hidden drainage channels to preserve landscaping. Solutions that address both moisture control and energy efficiency are especially sought after in Lorain.

Helpful?

In Lorain, the longevity of basement waterproofing depends on using materials rated for freeze-thaw cycles, installing proper exterior drainage, and ensuring sump pumps are equipped for local rainfall patterns. Tailoring solutions to the area’s clay soil and foundation types is crucial. Regularly inspecting for early signs of seepage after Lake Erie storms and scheduling maintenance before winter can greatly extend your waterproofing system’s effectiveness.

Helpful?

In Lorain, you can address minor basement moisture control by applying hydraulic cement to hairline cracks and ensuring downspouts direct water at least six feet from your foundation—especially important due to our clay-heavy soils. Use a dehumidifier rated for basement use, and check for standing water after heavy Lake Erie rains. Always wear gloves and a mask when handling sealants, and avoid electrical work in damp areas.

Helpful?

In Lorain, basement waterproofing offers immediate benefits like reduced musty odors and a healthier living space, especially after heavy Lake Erie rains. Long-term, it protects your foundation from shifting clay soils, helps prevent mold growth, and supports future basement finishing. You’ll also maintain property value, lower the risk of costly repairs, and enjoy greater peace of mind during the region’s unpredictable weather.

Helpful?

Lorain’s proximity to Lake Erie means frequent storms, high humidity, and significant freeze-thaw cycles, all of which challenge foundation waterproofing. Spring and early summer are ideal for projects, as the ground is thawed and drier. Local clay soils retain moisture, increasing hydrostatic pressure on basements, so waterproofing systems in Lorain must be robust and designed to handle both sudden downpours and persistent dampness.
