Basement waterproofing in Reynoldsburg

Split-levels and low ground

Reynoldsburg has many 1960s and 1970s split-level homes. The lower level is partly below grade, often finished as a family room, and the walls there take the same soil pressure as a full basement. Damp carpet, musty air and a stain along the base of the wall are the usual reasons people call.

Homes on lower ground near Blacklick Creek and its tributaries can sit closer to wet soil for longer after storms.

Our approach here

• Confirm whether water is entering or the room is just humid.
• Check grading and downspouts on the uphill side.
• Price an interior drain along the wet walls, or a dehumidifier if the problem is air.
• Add a sump with battery backup where the lower level has none.

Which county?

Reynoldsburg spans Franklin and Licking counties (and touches Fairfield). The building office for any permit depends on your address; we sort that out as part of the job.

A question we hear in Reynoldsburg

My split-level family room smells musty. Is that water? It might be water or just humidity. Moisture readings on the inspection tell which.
