How We Keep Powell Basements Dry

Our process begins with a free home inspection to find where the water gets in.

If groundwater rises through the floor or wall joints, we install an interior drainage system and sump pump.

For roof water collecting near the foundation, we bury new downspout lines that carry it to the curb.

We also repair and seal foundation cracks. Then, if humidity lingers, we add a dehumidifier system.

Basement Waterproofing for Powell Homes

Much of Powell and Liberty Township sits on dense clay soil, which holds water against foundation walls. This pressure can lead to basement leaks throughout Delaware County.

In neighborhoods like Golf Village, Olentangy Falls, and Scioto Reserve, aging drainage systems can become clogged or damaged over time. That’s why we inspect both the inside and outside of your home to identify moisture issues and recommend the right waterproofing solutions.

What’s Included in Our Powell Waterproofing System

We build every system around the source of your water. A full install can include:

Interior Drainage System

We cut a trench along the inside of your foundation walls and lay perforated drain pipe beside the footer. This way, the pipe catches groundwater before it reaches your floor.

Sump Pump & Pit

Next, the drain carries water to a sealed pit, where a sump pump pushes it outside. This matters most during spring storms and snowmelt.

Concrete Restoration

Afterward, we pour new concrete over the drain and finish it flush with your floor. Best of all, we never have to dig up your yard.

Downspout & Conductor Lines

Additionally, we bury new lines that carry roof water to the curb and storm drain. Before we dig, we call Ohio 811 to mark buried utilities.

Interior drainage systems carry a life-of-the-structure warranty against groundwater.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on what is causing the water. A new downspout line costs far less than a full interior drainage system. That’s why we give you a free inspection and a written price before any work starts. We will also beat any written competitor’s price.

The best waterproofing approach depends on where the water is entering your basement. For example, buried downspout lines often fix roof runoff from the outside. However, groundwater that seeps through the floor or wall joints needs an interior drain and sump pump. Our free inspection shows which one you need.

Yes. Clay soil traps water and builds pressure against your walls. Fortunately, an interior drain relieves that pressure by giving the water a path to the sump pump before it reaches your floor.

Yes. Interior drainage systems carry a life-of-the-structure warranty against groundwater, and our warranties transfer to the new owner if you sell.

Buckeye Basement Solutions is the only company I’d trust with my basement needs. After getting the runaround from a plumber I used who installed a new sump pump not even 1.5 years ago and my basement has flooded 5 times since then, Buckeye came out, explained the situation, and quickly remedied everything at a more than fair price. They truly care about their customers.

Jay came out to our house to give us an estimate on painting our basement and digging in a few downspouts. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional, even calling us back after his initial visit to talk about further discounts that could be made available to us. Great company!

I had underground downspout pipes that needed replaced on one side of my yard. Eco Plumbers initially gave me a quote of over $4,000, which was crazy. Brian quoted me less than half of that, and his team got the job done in 2 hours. It hardly looks like they dug up my yard. They also repaired my sump piping inside that a previous plumber had installed incorrectly. Very happy with my decision to go with Buckeye Basement!

The crew was great. They took on our house as it was their own! The humidity has greatly dropped in our basement with the work that was done in the crawlspace. The dehumidifier we had in our basement is keeping up now!
