Basement Waterproofing

Correct Leaky & Flooding Basements in Ohio, Southeast Indiana, and Northern Kentucky

When the ground under or around the house is saturated, water can seep into the basement through cracks and open joints in the foundation walls or floor slab. This can cause mold to grow, bad odor, and can even begin to effect your foundation. Vulcan Waterproofing provides non-excavation waterproofing for those in Southeast Indiana, Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati, Dayton and surrounding areas.

Water seeping or leaking through the foundation walls or through the floor slab is due to a hydrostatic pressure being exerted on the walls/floor slab by saturated soil. An expensive solution would be to excavate down to the footer and waterproof the walls by hand. The cost, however, involved in excavating around the entire foundation and relocating trees, shrubberies, decks, patios, and drives is excessive.

Vulcan’s answer is our patented pressure sealing system. Which requires NO digging, our eco-friendly sealant is pumped into the ground close to the foundation wall. The sealant is suspended in the soil and brought into the wall surface with the ground water.

For water accumulation around and under the foundation, an interior treatment includes sealing the cracks and installing a drainage system along the foundation footing, below the floor slab, that discharges into a sump pit.

So a complete waterproofing service would be to seal the exterior walls, seal the interior cracks, install inside drainage and a sump pump. Vulcan does all this, and at a much lower cost than excavating.
