About Waterproofing Girard OH

Waterproofing Girard OH is a small crew run by Anthony Kowalski out of Girard. We work residential and light commercial basements across the Mahoning Valley, Trumbull and Mahoning counties both. You get a straight answer on the phone, a written price before work starts, and the same crew lead walking your basement on inspection day showing up when the trucks roll for the job.

Anthony came up in the trade pulling drain tile for a Youngstown foundation crew, mostly working the older homes off Market Street and up through Girard and Hubbard. After a long stretch running crews for other outfits, he got tired of watching rushed jobs skip the cove joint prep and then fail two winters later. He opened his own shop so he could answer his own phone and stand behind every French drain and crack injection with his own name on the contract. Most weeks the crew is working Downtown Girard, the Prospect Street blocks, and the Churchill Road homes toward Liberty.

The way we operate is simple. Calls get answered live, not routed. The quote goes in writing before a shovel turns. We know the Girard housing stock cold, the 1920s brick bungalows off Liberty Street, the 1950s cinder-block ranches up on Churchill, the newer vinyl-sided builds out in the Ohltown corridor. Snow-belt winters hold teens to 20s from December through February, and the glacial till clay under the neighborhood swells and shrinks with every rain and freeze. That is why block walls bow and cove joints leak here. We tell you straight what is wearing out, show you the water path on the inspection, and clean up before we leave.

  • Same-day inspection for most Girard and 44420 calls placed before 2 PM, often inside a 3-hour window
  • Written, flat-rate pricing shown before any excavation or interior work starts, no hourly surprises after the slab is open
  • Owner-operated: the person on the phone is the person walking your inspection, not a rotating sales rep
  • Common failure materials stocked on the trailer so sump pump swaps, crack injections, and cove-joint repairs finish on the scheduled day
  • Workmanship warranty in writing on every job, with photos of the work before concrete goes back down

Anthony Kowalski

Owner, Waterproofing Girard OH

Anthony grew up in the Mahoning Valley and started pulling drain tile with a Youngstown foundation crew in his early 20s. He spent a long stretch running service crews for other outfits across Mahoning and Trumbull counties before opening his own shop in Girard. Lives off the Churchill Road side, drives a Ford F-250 with a little too many miles on it, coaches his kid's youth hockey in the winter. Plain talker, allergic to upsells, if you can get away with a crack injection instead of a full dig, he will say that.
