"I am writing this review to inform prospective customers that Stay Dry Waterproofing Marysville is not what they portray on their website. Although Stay Dry has had good reviews from home improvement websites in the past, their current quality and customer service levels do not meet the good review comments they once received. I contracted with Stay Dry to clean up a mold problem I had in my basement and cracking problem I had on my front basement wall. I was told by the Stay Dry representative that they would dig down from the exterior of my home to the point where my exterior wall met my basement floor and would fill all cracks apparent on the exterior and interior wall. I was told this needed to be done in this manner to prevent water from seeping through the crack from the top of the wall to the bottom of the wall in the future. When the work was being completed, the Stay Dry foreman told me that they only dig down three individual cement blocks. He said they were not going to dig"

The experienced team at Apex will do a thorough assessment of your home to properly determine the cause of your water and/or foundation problems. We have the knowledge to fix your water issues correctly the first time. Many water problems stem from inferior or improperly installed waterproofing systems around the foundation, clogged downspouts, broken sump pumps or settling around the home’s foundation. Leaks and cracks in the foundation can also lead to bigger foundation problems in the future.

"Underground drainage clog done. No more water in basement for me. Hoorays!"

"I just have to say, Brandon & the Foundation 1st team are incredible. I bought a house in 2023, had a house fire in 2024, and find myself as I write this review still displaced and running out of time on the rebuild. As the rebuild has progressed, a structural engineer identified that a support beam was missing in the “family room” basement that’s 3/4 below ground level. This support beam supports the 3 bedrooms of the house. With having my family & a 5 year old daughter, I really couldn’t stomach choosing not to replace it, but if you’ve never been in a house fire, it’s fighting tooth and nail to get 80% of everything covered by the insurance company. I couldn’t find someone to get this support done in the next few weeks without charging 2-3x. Then I found Brandon & Foundation 1st. I kid you not, gave me an estimate at 9am 8/13, job completed at 10am 8/15. Quality? 🤌🏼 Service? 🤌🏼 Empathy? 🤌🏼 100% took care of me! Thank you so much, Brandon & the Foundation 1st team! "

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Columbus, OH

The most affordable way to waterproof your basement is with interior methods like waterproof paint, costing between $1 and $8 per square foot, or silicate concrete sealers priced at $4 to $6 per square foot. However, these solutions are only suitable for certain issues. If your basement moisture is due to more serious problems like a cracked foundation, you'll need more extensive (and costly) repairs.

Absolutely! Waterproofing your basement is a smart investment that can increase your home's value. By keeping your basement dry and free of moisture problems, you protect your home's structural integrity and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Plus, taking proactive measures now can prevent costly water damage repairs down the line.

The time required to waterproof a basement depends on the selected method. Some approaches to interior waterproofing, like paint or sealant, can be completed within a day. Installing new drains or weeping tiles will need at least two to three days of labor. Any forms of exterior waterproofing that require you to excavate land will require an additional three days of work to prepare the ground.

Yes, basement waterproofing can significantly increase your home's value. A dry, leak-free basement is a strong selling point for potential buyers, enhancing your property's desirability and market price. Investing in professional waterproofing not only protects your home's structural integrity but also ensures a healthier living environment by preventing mold and mildew growth.

Waterproofing both the interior and exterior of your basement offers the best protection against moisture. Exterior waterproofing stops water from penetrating your foundation, while interior methods manage any moisture that does enter. If you must choose one, exterior waterproofing is generally more effective, as it prevents water from reaching your home's interior in the first place.
