Basement Waterproofing in Canal Winchester
Canal Winchester grew up along the Ohio and Erie Canal in the early nineteenth century, and its historic downtown still has many buildings from that era. Today the city also includes large newer neighborhoods to the north and east of the original village.
Homes in and around the historic downtown may have stone or brick foundations, partial basements, or crawlspaces combined with basement areas. These older foundations often let moisture through mortar joints and around old openings. Newer homes usually have poured concrete basements where the questions are about cracks, sump pumps, and grading.
Parts of Canal Winchester are flat and close to the creeks that once fed the canal, so ground can stay wet after long periods of rain. That does not mean every basement here will leak, but it does make drainage around the house and a reliable sump system more important. We look at both before recommending any wall repair.
