Foundation & Waterproofing in Westerville, Ohio

Westerville’s Uptown streets include early- and mid-century houses with block basements. Subdivisions to the north and east were built later, with poured walls and different drainage details.

Alum Creek keeps some of the lower lots wet longer after a hard rain. Once that moisture has nowhere to go, clay pushes on the wall whether the house is eighty years old or twenty.

A wet basement in an older Westerville house is often failed drain tile or a cove-joint leak. In a newer house it is more often a cold joint, a window well, or a sump at the end of its life.
