Mark Dombrowski spent a decade running residential foundation and drainage crews across Cuyahoga County before starting Basement Waterproofing Parma. Growing up in Parma, he watched the same problem repeat on his own street almost every spring: clay soil that holds water against the foundation, then a hard freeze-thaw cycle off Lake Erie that widens whatever crack the water already found. He got tired of watching neighbors get sold a one-size-fits-all system by a national chain's traveling sales rep who'd never see the job again after signing the contract — so he built a company where the person who diagnoses the problem is the same person who answers the phone if something's still wrong six months later.
We diagnose before we quote. That means an actual on-site inspection — where the water is entering, what the soil and grading look like, whether it's a footing-drain failure or a settlement crack — before anyone talks about a system or a price. It takes a little longer than a five-minute walkthrough, but it means the fix we propose actually matches the problem you have.

Leads every inspection personally and still carries the crack-injection gun on most jobs. A decade of foundation and drainage work across Cuyahoga County before starting this company.
A Parma native with six years in property management before joining the company; she's fielded more than a few panicked “my basement's flooding” calls herself.
Specializes in crawl space encapsulation and interior drainage systems. Came up through a commercial waterproofing outfit in Cleveland before moving to residential work.
A wet basement fix that's done wrong — wrong drainage type for your soil conditions, injection used where a full system was actually needed — doesn't just fail, it can mask the problem long enough to get worse underneath. We'd rather take the time to get the diagnosis right the first time.
