Well I wasn’t sure I was going to proceed with anything at my initial meeting since my basement had only some seepage over the years. But upon meeting Jordan my decision was made after his visit. He showed me things I never would have noticed on my own that are problematic. I thought I could do a simple fix. He thoroughly explained how water seepage occurs and how things can worsen in the future. I did not feel pressured at all and I felt he answered all my questions and definitely educated me on how water finds its way in. He was educated and courteous and I felt very sincere. We talked about different ways to fix the problem and in the end..he got me the best possible solution with the best possible financing. He took time to make sure I was comfortable with my decision and I definitely am! I am confident he will insure the job is done to my satisfaction. Thanks Jordan!Posted on Dec CookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very thorough estimate.

You don't become the area's leading waterproofing company overnight. Since 1978, we've earned the trust of homeowners across Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, and Macedonia. Our reputation is built on one thing: we fix problems permanently.
We believe homeowners deserve professional opinions before making decisions. Our experts provide free, no-obligation inspections every day - assessing your situation, explaining your options clearly, and never applying high-pressure sales tactics
We stand behind our work for life. Our lifetime transferable warranty means your investment is protected for as long as you own your home. If you sell, the warranty transfers to the new owner, adding real value to your property.
We understand N.E. Ohio's unique challenges: heavy clay soil, harsh freeze-thaw cycles, and high groundwater levels. Our solutions are specifically engineered for homes in our region, not generic fixes that might work elsewhere.
It depends on your specific water intrusion pattern. Interior drainage systems work best for most Cleveland-area homes with active seepage, while exterior waterproofing addresses severe foundation pressure issues. Our free inspection determines the optimal approach for your situation.
Common warning signs include water stains on walls or floors, musty odors, white chalky deposits (efflorescence), peeling paint, dampness after rain, visible cracks, condensation on walls or pipes, and rust on stored metal items. If you notice any of these conditions, a free professional inspection can determine whether waterproofing is needed and which solution works best for your situation.
Most interior systems are completed in 1–2 days. Exterior waterproofing or complex projects may take longer. We communicate clear timelines before starting and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Yes, we offer flexible financing options to make basement waterproofing affordable. Protecting your home shouldn't wait because of budget concerns — ask about our payment plans during your free consultation.
Our lifetime transferable warranty protects you for life and adds value if you sell your home. Unlike limited warranties from competitors, ours covers materials and labor for as long as you own the property — and transfers to new owners.
