Water in Your Basement Is Never Just a Basement Problem
A wet basement rarely stays contained for long. Moisture spreads into framing, drywall, and the air your family breathes every day. Left alone, it can weaken your foundation and lower your home's value.
That's exactly why homeowners across Cleveland call basement waterproofing contractors like us. Once water finds a way in, it needs a real, lasting fix. Our waterproofing services at Your Waterproofer are built for exactly that, whether it's a leaking wall or a soggy yard. We're committed to helping Cleveland-area homeowners keep their lawns free of standing water and basements dry.
Who We Are
Your Waterproofer is a company owned and run by Jim Allega, who built the company with the mindset of getting the job right the first time. That standard carries through our ten-person team on every project we take on.
Every technician is trained to the same level, so the person who diagnoses your problem brings the same expertise as the one who fixes it. That's been our mission since day one, so local families can stop worrying about water in their homes. You can see examples of our completed work in the gallery.
OUR SERVICES
What We Fix for Northeast Ohio Homeowners
Water problems rarely show up in just one place. A leak below often connects to standing water above ground. We specialize in the four issues homeowners call us about most.
Basement Waterproofing
A leaking or damp basement usually means water pressure has been building up against your foundation walls. We start with an on-site inspection to see exactly what's happening before recommending anything. From there, our process finds the actual entry point, seals it, and redirects water away with proper drainage and grading. The result is a basement that stays dry throughout Cleveland's wettest seasons.
Exterior Basement Waterproofing
Some basements need more than an interior seal to stay dry long term. Our exterior basement waterproofing addresses the problem at the source by using excavation, membrane installation, and improved drain tile along the foundation. It's more involved than an interior fix, but it stops water before it ever reaches your basement.
Basement Finishing
Once your basement is dry, it's ready to become more than storage space. Our basement finishing service covers design, framing, and every step needed to turn it into a livable room. Many homeowners take on this project right after waterproofing, while the space is already opened up.
Foundation Repair
A shifting or damaged foundation puts the rest of your home at risk. Our foundation repair team identifies the cause and repairs it, backed by a structural warranty. Catching it early keeps a small repair from becoming a much bigger one.
Drainage Solutions
Standing water in your yard can harm your foundation just as much as a basement leak. Our drainage solutions carry water away from your home before it has a chance to pool near the walls. That protects both your landscaping and your foundation.
Additional Services
Some projects go beyond waterproofing but still affect how water moves around your property. Our additional waterproofing services cover retaining walls, patios, driveways, decks, and grading work tied to that same goal. If a project on your property involves managing water flow, we can likely help.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get straightforward answers about basement waterproofing, foundation repairs, drainage solutions, project costs, and what to expect before work begins.
Watch for musty odors, white powdery residue on walls (efflorescence), peeling paint, or damp spots after rain. Cracks that widen over time or doors that stick are also common warning signs. If you notice any of these, it's worth getting an inspection before the problem grows.
It depends on how severe the problem is and whether you're seeing cracks or bowing walls too. Exterior work involves excavation and takes longer, while interior systems can often be installed in a day. We'll walk you through which option fits your situation during the inspection.
Most standard homeowners policies don't cover waterproofing as routine maintenance, though damage from a sudden event may be covered. Coverage varies widely by policy and insurer. It's worth checking directly with your provider before assuming either way.
Cost depends on the scope of work, the length of wall affected, and whether the fix is interior or exterior. A small, targeted repair costs far less than a full perimeter waterproofing job. Materials and warranty length can also affect the final price.
Some minor fixes, like improving grading or clearing gutters, are reasonable DIY projects. But sealing cracks or addressing water pressure against a foundation wall usually requires professional equipment and experience. A quick fix that doesn't address the actual cause often ends up costing more later.
