Every Old Fort, OH Basement Waterproofing job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
The core fix for most Old Fort, OH basements: a perimeter drain cut into the slab edge, tied to a sump basin, that intercepts water before it reaches the floor.
Battery backup is available for any sump system, so a power outage during a storm doesn't undo the whole fix.
Vertical wall cracks get epoxy or polyurethane injection depending on whether they're still actively weeping.
