Common Questions
How can City Waterproofing help prevent frozen pipes and outdoor faucet issues common in Akron winters?
Our plumbing inspection service is specifically designed to identify vulnerabilities before winter sets in. We check the insulation and routing of pipes in vulnerable areas like crawl spaces and near exterior walls, which are prone to freezing in Akron's cold snaps. For outdoor faucets, we can recommend and install frost-free sillcocks or proper winterization techniques. By addressing these issues proactively as part of a broader moisture control plan, we help prevent the costly water damage that can occur from burst pipes.
What does your lifetime guarantee on waterproofing work cover?
Our lifetime guarantee is our promise to the homeowners of Akron. It covers the materials and labor for the core waterproofing installation, such as interior drain tile (French drain) systems and sump pump installations, for as long as you own your home. If a covered system ever fails to perform as intended, we will repair it at no cost. This guarantee reflects our confidence in using quality materials and proven methods to provide a permanent solution to water intrusion.
What's involved in your foundation repair service, and when is it needed?
Foundation repair addresses cracks, bowing walls, or settling that compromises your home's structure. Our process begins with a thorough inspection to diagnose the cause, which is often related to soil moisture and hydrostatic pressure common in our region. Solutions can range from carbon fiber strap reinforcement and wall anchors to more extensive underpinning, depending on the severity. We recommend an evaluation if you notice new or widening cracks, sticking doors or windows, or sloping floors, as these can be signs of foundation movement that our waterproofing and repair expertise can resolve.
