"We had our basement waterproofed in May 2019, the crew was out for 3 days. They also did some landscape grading. It's been 1.5 years and no problem. Very professional company. If I have any questions Carl or his wife, Jayna, respond promptly. I would highly recommend ABC for waterproofing a basement."

"Very impressed with Mike Perry, who met with me twice and inspected and measured the basement thoroughly before I contracted for a large basement waterproofing job. He sent a professional team who were on time every day. One small unavoidable issue was taken care of promptly. Their price was reasonable and I would recommend Mike and his team for basement waterproofing."

"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

Professionals in Youngstown start by mapping out moisture patterns unique to the property, considering factors like sloped yards, clay-heavy soil, and proximity to the Mahoning River. They inspect for foundation cracks, check window wells, and evaluate existing drainage systems. The assessment often extends beyond the basement to include exterior grading and downspout placement, ensuring comprehensive moisture control and effective foundation repair.

Helpful?

In Youngstown, functional basement waterproofing tackles water entry and foundation repair, especially in homes with porous sandstone or block foundations common to the area. Cosmetic updates, like waterproof paint or new flooring, may look appealing but won’t last if underlying leaks persist. Prioritizing drainage improvements and vapor barriers ensures cosmetic upgrades remain effective, especially in neighborhoods with high groundwater or older construction.

Helpful?

In Youngstown, homeowners often balance the disruption of exterior waterproofing—such as excavation and impact on landscaping—against the quicker installation of interior systems. While interior solutions are less invasive, they may not address foundation repair needs common in older Youngstown homes. Prioritizing only visible problem areas can leave hidden moisture issues unaddressed, so a whole-home moisture control assessment is recommended before making decisions.

Helpful?

In Youngstown, letting downspouts drain too close to the foundation, skipping annual gutter cleanings, or stacking firewood against basement walls can all compromise waterproofing. Indoors, blocking sump pump access or failing to run a dehumidifier during humid months can increase moisture buildup. Regularly inspecting for new cracks and keeping storage off the floor helps protect your investment in basement moisture control.

Helpful?

In Youngstown, basement corners, below-grade window wells, and foundation walls facing prevailing winds are especially vulnerable due to local soil conditions and freeze-thaw cycles. Homes with stone or block foundations, typical in older neighborhoods, often require extra attention at mortar joints. Areas near mature trees may also need monitoring, as roots can disrupt drainage and increase the risk of water intrusion.
