Basement Waterproofing in Plain City, OH

Plain City is a village west of Dublin that sits across the line between Madison and Union counties. Its downtown is known for its clock tower, and the surrounding countryside includes farmland and a long-established Amish and Mennonite community. Big Darby Creek flows nearby.

The village has older homes close to downtown and newer subdivisions on its edges. Older houses may have stone or block foundations and partial basements, while newer homes typically have poured concrete basements with sump pits. Flat ground and heavy soil in the area can keep the ground wet for long periods in spring.

On flat lots, small differences in grading decide whether water drains away or settles against the house. A sump pump that runs often in spring, water at the base of the wall, or damp patches after heavy rain usually point to drainage around the home. We look at the yard, the downspouts, and the sump system along with the basement walls.
